What buyers say
Rated 5.0 by 3 buyers on Unity
We are creating realistic scenes that take place in rural Iceland. We needed to add horses, but the Icelandic breed has been uniquely preserved here since the viking age. This breed is shorter but sturdier than other horses, so we could not use any of the classic horse models. We were therefore absolutely thrilled to finally come across this asset that had just been added to the store! This model has been meticulously constructed to resemble the Icelandic horse and it fits right into our Icelandic nature. The animations look very convincing, immediately bringing the horses to life. There is a very good variety of animations, including several gaits. The artist is very responsive, helpful and polite. Overall, excellent value. Highly recommended.

The Viking Horse asset is exceptionally well-made. The models have excellent visual quality, and the animations feel natural and fluid, which is crucial for any game set in a historical or Nordic setting. One of the highlights is the developer support: they respond quickly and are committed to solving issues. In my case, there was a shader problem affecting the color grading of some horse items — they fixed it promptly and pushed an update. That kind of support really inspires confidence. The visual fidelity of the horses is impressive, from the musculature to the fur detail. Overall, this is a fantastic asset: great visuals, reliable animations, and responsive technical support. Highly recommended.

This is a perfect asset for my game project, the animations are clean, realistic and the models are top tier. Everything is easy to set up. The seller answers very quickly and is always open to help. I really recommend this asset for anyone interested in creating their own horse game! :)
