Vikings Row!
Project Description:
Critical reception:My Role:
Typically, product managers rarely get to invent anything out of whole cloth and see it through to completion. Vikings Row! was a rare exception to this rule, and I'm proud to say that it is one of the best smartphone games that I-play ever produced, as demonstrated by the general acclaim of game critics. Following a string of disappointing releases and observing the success of simple, satisfying games like Angry Birds in my competitive analysis, I decided we needed to rethink our portfolio management approach. Instead of organizing our content around traditional video game genre definitions (e.g. racing, sports, fighting, puzzle, strategy, etc.) we needed to build and organize our portfolio around a set of fun, satisfying, simple and addictive game "mechanics" (i.e. how users interact with objects on the screen). Vikings Row! was the second game we released based on this new philosophy, and was met with great reviews.
