How co-op works
Up to three local or online players choose among four Vikings differentiated by bow, shield, dual axes, or hammer. Lane-based combat rewards timed heavy critical hits, while collected treasure unlocks moves and equipment between voyages; the squad combines special attacks and divides targets.
About this game
Viking Squad is a side-scrolling beat 'em up built for three-player cooperative action. Players take up swords and shields to battle through hordes of enemies unleashed by the trickster god Loki, who has closed the gates to Valhalla. The game thrives on teamwork, letting groups fight together whether they're sitting on the same couch or connected online.

Combat revolves around melee brawling, defensive timing, and coordinating attacks to survive waves of Norse-inspired foes. Players share resources, revive downed teammates, and juggle crowd control in frantic, screen-filling battles. Success depends on communication and positioning, making every run feel like a genuine team effort rather than three solo campaigns running in parallel.
Viking Squad supports both local couch co-op and online matchmaking, so squads can form however works best. Sessions are intense and communication-heavy, rewarding crews who call out threats and cover each other during the chaos. Whether you're playing on Windows or Mac, the game delivers that classic arcade brawler feel with a cooperative twist.
