Lost Viking from the Dungelot dev combines 2048 with a viking RPG

Dungelot studio Red Winter Software has announced a new puzzle-RPG for iOS and Android called Lost Viking.

Essentially, as the studio itself admits, Red Winter has taken the tile-sliding play of Threes and 2048 and given it a story.

In it, you have to help Ragnar reach Valhalla by battling like-bearded brutes and riding rams across the snowy terrain.

You do this by matching runes that depict swords, meat, keys, and shields. This trains Ragnar, enhances his skills, and has him collect loot in between throwing swords at enemies.

As in 2048, when you move one rune on the grid in a direction by sliding your thumb across the screen, all the other runes move with it.

Red Winter tells us that Lost Viking will be coming to iOS and Android this November.
