Berserk by Doey
Northern Norse nonsense! Play as a Viking chief defending against waves of English knights, using the souls of the dead to fuel your progress.
The whole idea is that you sacrifice both friend and foe to appease the gods and survive for as long as possible.

How To Play
Right click to control troops. Left click to access menus. WASD/Arrow keys to move. 1/2 to use powers. -Survive as long as you can.

@Bibicio The archer could do with a nerf.
@andrewl thanks!
Just one thing, its maybe to hard to get in late game a huge wave of archers surrounding you but anyway I realy enjoyed playing this gorgeous game!
Nice job dude!
Random aside: The wave of enemies could still attack me when I was buying villagers! That may have been intentional though.
At last I die in the rain of the arrows. Fun game, I spend a lot of time playing this!
@carbonara @bloodyorchiddc The archers are definitely the largest threat! They were the last thing I worked on, so didn't have much time to check the balance.
Thanks guys for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
As you said above, it lacks polishing time. Little things like pausing the game in menus or giving more feedback on your currencies when visiting shops, would greatly improve the experience.
Balancing needs some adjustments too, archers would either one-shot every units, or walk towards me and let my men kill them without fighting back.
ps: audio in the menu made me smile o/
I felt it was a bit too hard to keep enough men without blowing all my money in the beginning.
Audio was fantastic! Great voices. Drum-beat bg was perfect. Sfx worked well.
Easily one of my favs of this LD.
