"One thing we focus on in Viking Squad is more precision in our combat," said Charchuk. Yes, you lose things like being able to diagonally move into a enemy for a few free hits, but you gain the ability to accurately see what will or will not hit you. Being unable to freely wander is bit odd when you first jump into Viking Squad, but once you get the hang of it, it improves the flow of the game's combat. This means that players have more visual precision they move, attack, and dodge within these lanes. Slick's primary innovation is splitting up Viking Squad's battlefield into four parallel lanes. We wanted to hit that nostalgia, but also try to innovate in the genre." "They were just sticking with all the old mechanics exactly. "We noticed that a lot of the brawlers coming out were all harkening back to an older age," explained Viking Squad designer Caley Charchuk. Viking Squad is the studio's answer, a beat 'em up with beautiful hand-drawn 2D art and a few changes to the genre's core gameplay. Slick Entertainment is trying to bring back the old style of brawler, without sticking to slavishly to the genre's early mechanics.
The brawler one of the many genres that's fallen by the wayside, living on in the form of action titles like Bayonetta 2 and DmC.
