The game uses a side-view perspective and presents self-contained stages. The objective is to guide Erik, Baleog, and Olaf to the exit while collecting required items, surviving hazards, and using switches, platforms, and environmental mechanisms.

Players can switch between the Vikings at any time. Erik’s speed and headbutt, Baleog’s bow and sword, and Olaf’s shield support different solutions. Stages become more demanding by requiring precise timing, item use, enemy management, and coordinated positioning; losing a Viking usually makes the stage unsolvable.

Study the whole room before moving anyone into danger. Identify which Viking can perform each required action, then leave that character in a safe position before switching.

Use Olaf’s shield to control enemy fire and create temporary footing, while preserving Baleog’s ammunition and Erik’s mobility for the moments that specifically require them. If a stage appears impossible, check for a missed switch, pickup, or alternate route rather than relying on combat.
