Doki Doki Ragnarok

The game is just as absurd as it appears. The goal of the game is to be a viking and ... flirt with villages ... by raiding them and such? I never knew there was such a fine line between ravaging and ravishing. At each junction, the player must choose their actions carefully in order to [i]woo[/i] a village or get passed other obstacles. Viking actions: Raid, Drink Mead, Praise Odin, and Attack England. ... Yes, specifically England. However, the ultimate goal is to fulfill Odin's quest in reaching Valhalla. [u]Praises[/u] [list][*] Cartoonish, but well-done art. [*] Excessive humor centered around viking culture, as well as cultures the viking player [strike]raids[/strike] visits. [*] Cute corgi. [*] One fellow viking romance option, who is also ridiculous. [/list] [u]Complaints[/u] [list][*] Might be a bit pricey for its content. [/list] I recommend it to those who want to have a giggle.

Абсолютно стебная, полная абсурда визуальная новелла. Начинается она с чего? С того что Всеотец призывает ГГ перестать смущаться и нервно потеть и закрутить, наконец, роман с деревней. Да, в этой игре набеги викингов заключаются в соблазнении деревень, живите теперь с этим. Как это работает: в диалоге с деревней у нас есть от 3-4 (обычные деревни) до 10-11 (деревни-боссы) раундов диалога. В некоторых дается выбор из 4 стандартных действий викинга: набег, выпить меду, помолиться Одину, напасть на Англию (оказывает неизгладимое впечатление на большую часть французских деревень, кстати). В других - варианты, собственно, беседы с деревней. Чередуя разные подходы мы должны добиться хотяб одного сердечка из трех, чтобы пройти дальше. Иногда разные действия ведут на разные ветки диалога. Иногда можно подгадать момент и выяснить, что после того, как гг напился меду, сила его набегов увеличивается. Иногда деревни не впечатлены силой набега, и становится действительно обидно... Кроме этого, по карте раскиданы встречи с другими викингами, местными жителями, корги, Локи, козами и прочими, прочими, прочими. На этих встречах, если я правильно понял, сердечко в любом случае под конец диалога будет - но вопрос в том, как провести этот диалог. Очень разнообразит прохождение. В общем, оно простое, милое, абсурдное, но очень затягивающее.

Doki Doki Ragnarok is a cute dating sim where you play as a Viking who raids villages by flirting and seducing them. It is extremely light hearts and goofy, never taking anything seriously (except goats. Do not mess with goats, man, you need your soul) and generally being a fun romp. It is very text and reading heavy with no gameplay elements aside from dialogue choices (which are frequent). The characters are endearing in a crude fart jokes and swilling mead kind of way. That said, I do have a couple caveats. If you're expecting traditional dating sim action of building up relationships. stats, items, etc to win over your chosen love interest be aware that is not the gameplay loop. You travel Medival Europe and each level has you seducing a new village. Choices and actions have no lasting consequences and levels can be attempted repeatedly freely. All that said, I highly recommend the game for the bit of lighthearted fun it is. I demo'd it for a few hours on stream and feel like I barely scratched the surface of the content. It never lets off the gas with wacky antics and cheerful characters.

Help step-viking, I'm stuck in a Steam review! Doki Doki Ragnarok puts you into the mead-guzzling, Odin-worshipping, roaring body of your dreams to learn how to gently but firmly pillage every village you come across. Like traditional dating sims, you're given a variety of hilarious dialogue optoins. Unlike traditional dating sims, each romance option is little more than a fling: after all, you can only pillage so much treasure from each village. But you're here for the humor, and the over-the-top and on-the-nose jokes are what it shows on the box So if you're ready to roar-barf your way into a village's heart and learn something about love, then Doki Doki Ragnarok is the romp for you.

[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Doki Doki Ragnarok is a dating sim that falls into the “ridiculously silly” dating sim subgenre. I feel certain that most people would realize that by the title and art style, but on the off-chance you didn't, it's probably the main thing you need to know. You're not romancing gods or goddesses, or even humans of either gender. Instead, you're raiding villages and attempting to romance them. Yes, you read that right; you're literally attempting to romance villages, and occasionally dealing with minor encounters, such as with a villager or a goat. The art is bright and stylish, and really works well for the tone and atmosphere of the game. This is a game that's trying to make you laugh, and it's definitely not taking itself too seriously. The writing is pretty clever, which is important, because they're definitely trying to make you laugh. You're definitely going to get a little more mileage out of the jokes if you're a fan of Norse stuff, however. There's no voice acting, which is fine in and of itself, but I think the game definitely would have benefitted from at least a narrator character. Your character will make the occasional grunt, designed to express some form of emotion, but these didn't work at all for me, and I pretty quickly ended up disabling them. Speaking of characters, while there's only three, they definitely are attempting to be inclusive, giving you a clear male, female and NB option, and you can mix your pronouns as you see fit, which is definitely going to be a plus for some of you. I will never penalize a game for any attempt at inclusivity in player charater options. The music is a bit generic, but works for that whole “Viking theme” soundtrack. Still, this is not a game that really requires you to have the headphones on for extra enjoyment or anything. If you're a fan of games like Hatoful Boyfriend, or Cthulhu Dating Simulator, where absurdity is part of the attraction factor, you're almost certainly going to enjoy this particular take on the Viking era. If you're looking for something more traditionally close to what a dating simulator is, you're going to want to pass. For my money though, this one's definitely worth going a-Viking

It's cute, fun and hilarious. Date a bunch of different English cities! Be a super strong viking. It feels like hatoful boyfriend with a bit more emphasis on the comedy. https://youtu.be/mTgoic0_GJc

It's small, it's heartfelt and it's funny. I had some memorable dates with some memorable villages and I hung out with a bunch of goats. If you like the writing in the tv show Our Flag Means Death, I think you'll have a good time with this one.

I wish I could sing this game's praises higher. I laughed so hard I lost my voice. 10/10

[h1]DATE ME VILLAGE-CHAN[/h1] Doki Doki Ragnarok is an absurd comedy dating sim where you’re on a mission to find - and date - your ideal village. Yes, you read that right. A village. The game isn’t very long, and not every joke lands, but overall I found the experience mostly enjoyable. If possible, I’d rate it as [b]mixed[/b]. It’s definitely one of those titles worth picking up only during a big sale. [b]Story[/b] Story-wise, there isn’t much to dive into. You play as a Viking (with customizable portraits and voices/grunts) who sets out on a mission to find their ideal partner. However, in this world, you’re not dating other people - you’re dating literal villages. Because of that, "raiding" takes on a whole new meaning. Instead of simply destroying and plundering, you’re essentially flirting your way into a village’s heart. Naturally, if this brand of silly, over-the-top humor isn’t your thing, you probably won’t enjoy Doki Doki Ragnarok, so keep that in mind before buying. [b]Gameplay[/b] Gameplay-wise, it’s your typical choice-based visual novel. The main distinguishing feature is the world map, which gives you the freedom to pick where to head next. [b]Visuals[/b] Visually, the game looks great thanks to its charming, cartoonish art style. It’s a shame, though, that the presentation is so simple - usually just a couple of sprites talking over a plain background. With such strong art direction, it feels like there was potential to do much more. [b]Audio[/b] The soundtrack is serviceable. It suits the game’s theme, and there are a few standout tracks, but nothing I’d call particularly memorable. There’s no full voice acting, only occasional grunts and minor sound effects, like barking. [b]Technicalities[/b] I didn't have any problems.

Despite the absurd idea of playing as a Viking who must raid or conquer villages through romance, the game plays similarly to any other visual novel. Each map or region has a few villages and events where you can interact with different characters. To progress to the next town or event, you must achieve at least one heart out of three. When the village asks you a question, you can respond with one of four amusing responses, or you can perform one of four Viking pillaging actions: yell Odin's name, drink, raid, or invade England—even if you're pillaging France, heh. The correct action is generally hinted at in the text, so if you want to woo the village properly, you should read everything. Different actions result in varying degrees of progress toward the heart, and you can win even if you choose a few incorrect replies. It doesn't matter if you fail because you can resume the game from any unlocked village on the map. When you choose the worst or best responses, there are even audible indications to help you. Writing is entertaining and full of sexual innuendos, but it never goes too far. There's also a convenient skip button that advances the text even if you've never seen it before. This is why the game may be finished in a couple of hours, which may not seem like much, but there are a number of achievements you can discover by choosing the right responses. Overall, an entertaining entry in a rather stale genre.
