About Viking Escape
Viking escape is a game in which you control a Viking flying on a dragon, the Viking must go all the way to the end to get out of a dark forest filled with goblins and other mutants. A Viking can throw different types of weapons, and a dragon can breathe out a fiery flame. Help the Viking survive, get out of the forest and score as many points and ammunition as possible.
