Join forces with a friend and guide two unique Viking warriors through the ancient, puzzle-filled fortress!
Duo Vikings is a charming and highly engaging cooperative 2-player puzzle platformer. The objective is to guide two distinct Viking heroesβone large and strong, one small and agileβto the exit portal of each level. The core challenge lies in the mandatory cooperation; each Viking possesses a unique ability (e.g., the large one can push heavy blocks, the small one can fit through tight gaps) that must be utilized by the two players working together to solve the environmental puzzles. The gameβs strong point is the compelling sense of teamwork and the clever, lateral thinking required to figure out the solutions. What sets Duo Vikings Unbanned apart is the perfect blend of simple platforming movement with a deep cooperative puzzle element. The comparison is strong to classics like Fireboy and Watergirl. A crucial strategic tip is to always use the small Viking to retrieve essential keys or items that the large Viking cannot reach, as their agility is the key to unlocking many doors.
Playing Duo Vikings Unbanned requires two players to share the keyboard. Player 1 typically uses WASD for movement and an action key (like F), and Player 2 uses the Arrow keys for movement and a different action key (like L). The core strategy is leveraging unique strengths. Use the Viking who can throw or push to clear the main path, and use the Viking who can jump high or fit small to reach difficult switches. Communication is vital for timing your jumps and actions. Duo Vikings Unbanned is an excellent, Unbanned choice for two friends who want a highly engaging, cooperative adventure that challenges their communication and platforming skills.
