Farm Frenzy: Viking Heroes Review

Farm Frenzy: Viking Heroes could have been one of the best games in the Farm Frenzy franchise. In addition to collecting and processing items dropped by the animals, you can actually give your producing animals battle gear to protect them from the dropping bears and ogres. The bad guys actually drop helmets and you can outfit them onto your animals if you have the proper building. Once your animals have been outfitted with battle gear, they cannot be killed, they produce double the output, and they quadruple in sales value. It's all pretty cool and adds a nice new challenge and change from dressing bears or other animals that you then sell. Of course there might come a time when the bears will get to be dressed too but I didn't get that far and I may not do so for a long time.

You ask, when you know how much I love Farm Frenzy games?…because the game is agonizingly and frustratingly slow to load each level. I have never seen a game with a slower load time and it actually has two load screens for each level to play. So, if you love Farm Frenzy and you are an extremely patient person, then this is the game for you! It is a shame because it is a great game otherwise. Maybe they'll fix it some day, but until then I'd go replay an old Farm Frenzy game.
