Gameplay of Viking Battle For Asgard at 1920x1080 (fullscreen) on Ubuntu 12.10 64Bit with High graphics settings, using Wine through PlayOnLinux.

Viking (Steam version) is being run through a clean Wineprefix (1.5.26) in this video. Besides passing the no-dwrite argument to POL and installing .Net 3.0, I haven't done anything else.

The game works great! All cutscenes work well, saving works. Graphics are pretty awesome and smooth. I can't tell that I'm playing this using Wine, it feels Native.

It works with the 360 Wired Controller as well. Just plug and play. The only real issue I've had is trying to do that special 'E' attack. I only tried it once before, but when I did, it crashed the game. It could have crashed due to my screen recorder though.

Performance is great, and it's even better when I'm not recording the screen. If you have this game, you should have no problem getting it to run in the latest Wine version!

I had to disable "Unredirect Fullscreen" in Compiz Config Settings Manager to record this game, otherwise the recording would flicker.
