Crazy Viking studios is a small indie developer composed of industry veterans ready to make a game on their own terms. Volgarr is a classic hack'n'slash style PC game with hand-made pixel art. Check it out!

I'm quite surprised, this is one of thousands retro pixel games on ks that I really like and I'd happily pledge some money if I'd have any. Good luck with the kickstarter, looks like you'll reach your goal without any problems.

This looks great, one of the few 2D games I'm looking forward to.

I should mention that I don't work for this company or anything, I just know them. Hopefully this isn't coming across as a commercial. I really think this is a cool thing to fund. I added 10 bucks myself.

Looks fun, but putting SGnG and even Rastan next to their game really highlights how much worse their pixel art is.

The gameplay mechanics look very solid, and the PC sprite and animations look good, too... I think it's just the environment tiles that are lacking.

The features they're highlighting seem really silly. For example, you can move while attacking.

Didn't they say that they put a lot of work into this single mechanic?  Huh?

After "working in the industry for years" and "studying the best 16 bit games of the era", I think they could have produced a tilesets that looks better than that.

Also: I think a game like that is too much work for two people

Unless they are part of TIGSource. Some people here have better stuff than that.

The mechanics and viking theme look cool, sprites and animation look good but the backgrounds look too basic, hopefully they are just quickly made placeholders.
