The Lost Vikings 2 is a 1997 puzzle platform video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment and published by Interplay. The sequel to The Lost Vikings, it features the original three characters plus two new playable characters: Fang the werewolf and Scorch the dragon. The gameplay remains largely the same, though the three Viking characters all have new or modified abilities.
The SNES version uses technology very similar to the original installment, with similar, cartoonish graphics and 16-bit sound and music. Later releases for PC, PlayStation and Saturn, named Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest (Norse by Norse West: The Return Of Lost Vikings in the U.S. ) , feature pre-rendered 3D graphics, CD music and extensive voice acting.
This game is more repetitive than its predecessor (the weight puzzles, ugh), and the new characters' abilities mostly repeat those of the Vikings.
I played without getting extra powers on first level. I do get a different set of extra powers on level 22, but I don't use the howl until the final battle so that I don't break the game. Using Scorch's super fireballs was unavoidable, but I don't think it made the game too easy, especially since I avoided quickly killing the final boss with them, choosing to beat him fair and square with bombs. Eric's new power, underwater charge, makes him invincible, so I only show it after the playthrough. Then I show the first-level set of extra powers, which are most certainly game-breaking, then I show deaths, extra screens and extra lines of dialogue. -
