Cold steel, colder ale!

Volgarr the Viking, a hardcore 2D side-scrolling arcade action platformer with gallons of blood, extreme bad-assery, and a daring difficulty level, is available 16% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 for the first week.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/volgarr_the_viking][/url]Rise, warrior! Bow to the 16-bit gods of the Arcade'ian Golden Age! Heed Odin's call! You are to become a mythical hero, the stuff of legends passed over goblets of ale at smelly inns, for years to come. Village elders will erect statues in your honor, Viking women will give your name to their firstborn sons, and men of the North will scream Volgarr!!! when storming enemy ranks, to instill dread in their foes' hearts. Of course, if you explode into a bloody fountain of bones and gore, that might not be the case. After all, here, now, you are still just a nameless, hairy, half-naked savage thrown against countless bloodthirsty foes. Can you become the legendary Volgarr the Viking? I dare you.

Volgarr the Viking is an awesome tribute to the most brutal and demanding arcade games of the 80s and 90s. With precise mechanics, simple controls, and challenging difficulty level, combined with pixel-perfect animation and a soundtrack worthy of a truly epic adventure, the game is sure to hold you in its mighty grip for hours on end.

Have your bloody blade ready and become the legendary Volgarr the Viking for only $9.99 on GOG.com!
So, apparently you can't save your game in this...
Looks very retro nice.
Oh someone's going to need fresh underwear when they see this is released.

The game has a warp system instead. At the start of a new game go left.
Almost back this on KS but this game looks too hard for me :(
looking good, wishlisted for now, probably will buy at a later date.
Very tempting.. wishlisted for now
This one looks really good.
wow, surprisingly this appears to be the best Indie release on GOG this month

This looks very cool, definitely keeping my eye on this one
I played my copy of this game on Humble today, and it's really cool, the only indie platformer that gets the Crosmando seal of approval. Doesn't try too hard, proper difficulty, the levels are all different are designed well with traps and different enemies.

Also, most importantly it has a good pixel art-style, no cartoony pretense, just bad-assery.
It reminds me of Golden Axe.

Amen to that, I am fed up with flash-y graphics (as in "Adobe Flash"). I was quite disappointed with the new Spelunky release in that regard, the new graphic style was a step backwards from the first installment.

I'd say this is more like a tribute to Rastan
