Ragnarock

Ragnarock puts a hammer in each hand and tells you to drum your way across the open sea. You're a Viking captain whose longship moves only as fast as the runes coming down the lane are struck in time. Perfect hits build combo energy in the hammers, and once charged, the hammers can be slammed down for a speed boost. The race is against rival ships, and the goal is the leaderboard.

The base game ships with 46 songs across genres that overlap with the Viking theme — Celtic rock, pirate metal, Viking power metal, the catalogue of bands like Alestorm, Gloryhammer and Electric Callboy. Seven DLC packs add 49 more tracks from Sabaton, Nightwish, The Offspring, Miracle of Sound and others. Custom song support extends the library indefinitely; the community has produced over 4,500 player-made tracks and counting.

Three difficulty levels exist for every song, which keeps the game approachable for new drummers and demanding for skilled ones. Solo mode lets you race against ghost ships of your own best runs. Multiplayer covers public or private online PvP for up to six players, local split-screen for up to four, and cross-platform play that pools PC and VR users into the same lobbies. Achievement medals and the leaderboard rank everyone who plays seriously.

The environments are stylized Nordic landscapes inspired by Viking mythology. The whole package is genuinely fun without VR — the drumming feels good on a controller or keyboard — and it scales up significantly in VR, where the swing of the hammers becomes physical effort. Easy to learn, hard to master, and one of the more genuinely social rhythm games on the platform.
