CHAMPIONS OF MIDGARD REVIEW
7.6 out of 10
Champions of Midgard is one of the top games in its lane of epic adventures. It is top-notch in the category of worker placement as well as the category of epic combat. While the game seems overwhelming, it is worth the small amount of time you will have to dedicate to get over that initial hump. Once you are there, you will see this glory of the game and all it has to offer. There are similar games but there is nothing quite like it.
