Loki is up to his usual mischief and has stolen Odin’s eye! The only logical way of getting it back is to send your best warriors after him. However, no one ever said they had to be alive. Welcome to Zombie Vikings - the four player hack and slash adventure game that sees you playing as one of four Zombie Vikings whilst travel through many different worlds set in the Viking era. This is Zoinks Game’s second PS4 title and just like the first (Stick it to the Man), this one is just as wacky.
