Post Loki: Heroes of Mythology Review

WorthPlaying reviewed the action RPG Loki and was very impressed by its art direction and choice of setting. But terrible AI, voice-works, and fairly bad gameplay land this game a 5.9/10.
What stands out most about the visuals in Loki is the art. This is not your run-of-the-mill fantasy re-hash but old-world myth as interpreted by Brian Froud and Alan Lee. Elves are twisted and evil, gnomes are malignant little tumors with a penchant for explosives and the cry of a phoenix isn't a mournful song of rebirth but the screech of impending doom. There are many really good ideas behind the monster designs (dark Valkerie on lighting stilts? That's just straight-up cool!), and Cyanide has much to be proud of here. Of course, this isn't anything new to this development team. The last title I covered from them, Chaos League, also had an abundance of great monster concepts.
