## Description
_Wickie und die Starken M anner_ (Vicky the Viking) is based on a German /
Japanese cartoon TV series of the same name. The show premiered in Germany in
1974, a live action adaptation by German director and comedian Micheal “Bully”
Herbig followed in 2009. The DS game was released in the wake of the new movie
remake, but is nevertheless based on the original animated series.
Wickie is a young Viking boy of about 10 years of age. He is more clever and
sharp-witted than anyone else in his home village of Flake and thus often
saves the day. In this game the men of Flake have been captured while on a
mission; once again it is up to Wickie to come up with a rescue plan. The game
is a classic platform game. Wickie carries a slingshot, but that is not enough
to defeat the more powerful enemies. Instead, he must rely on tricks and traps
such as pushing boulders towards enemy patrols. There are five different game
worlds that lead Wickie into different corners of Europe. Short cut scenes
with the characters from the animated series tell the story in-between the
levels. There are also some very simple mini games such as lock picking or
connect the numbers.
