Ouch.

Indie hit Volgarr the Viking is coming to the Wii U and 3DS, it has been confirmed.

A love letter to the tough-as-old-boots 2D action platformers of the '80s and '90s, Volgarr takes a large helping of inspiration from the likes of Rastan and Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Initially arriving on PC, it hit the Xbox One in 2014.

Crazy Viking's staffer Kris Durrschmidt has even posted an image on Twitter showing the 3DS version:

Our very good friends over at Eurogamer reviewed the Xbox One version last year, and gave it a positive 8 out of 10 review, concluding:

This sort of game is always tricky to recommend, because its appeal is so specific and so dependent on a willingness to suffer a hundred punishments in exchange for one sweet moment of victory, before plunging back into the fray. Make your peace with this masochistic rhythm and you'll find a game that disguises its painstakingly meticulous design behind an exterior that can seem arbitrary and clumsy. Volgarr the Viking is, beneath it all, a very lovely game. Just don't be surprised if it takes you a while to realise it.
