Expeditions: Viking received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[6] Daniel Starkey of GameSpot summarized: "Viking lives in its atmosphere, so it's appreciated that most of the game is a spirited romp. For now, that experience is mangled by dozens of technical hiccups and anachronisms."[8] Charalampos Papadimitriou of RPGamer said that "Viking isn’t the most refined game, with limited camera control, repetitive graphics that lack detail, and a lack of high-production presentation. It nevertheless succeeds in immersing the player in its world through an intriguing main story focused on local politics and motivations and driven by realistic struggles and constraints."[3] Ginny W. of Digitally Downloaded recommended the game to "anyone with a passing interest in tactical RPGs".[9] References
