No, I cannot recommend this game, because I don't know anyone who I think would have fun playing it. I've enjoyed the challenge, but there are so many weird design choices that get in the way of having fun, it just isn't worth picking up unless you are a glutton for punishment. I could never say I had fun with the endless stream of tiny, tedious pitched battles. I suppose if I had spun the camera around 360 degrees constantly like in the trailer video, it might have been more exciting. Honestly, I just wanted to sail around in a viking ship, raid undefended towns, and steal treasure. That would have been a fun sandbox. I never cared about this game's convoluted political melodrama nor its overly opinionated, whiny companions. Why couldn't there be an option to turn the story off? "Save the clan! Save the clan!" Your clan is like 12 people. Just put them in your boat, burn down your ramshackle village of hovels, and settle somewhere else like a real viking would. Then get on with the pillaging! Not dumpster-diving through a thousand barrels to find bits of string and grease. Not having to pick herbs, camp, turn them into medicine, and treat an injured viking who was stung by a wasp during a random encounter. Not having to fire silly "puffballs" from a sling to use as smoke screens against OP archers. Not having to spend more "valuables" to make a single piece of chain mail armor than it costs to erect an entire city wall. Not getting stuck using the same tired tactics over and over because the AI is programmed to suicide itself to get a lucky shot to injure one of your fighters in the hopes he'll get a groin infection that will send you back to camp and slow the game down even more. Not having to worry that if you don't agree with your followers that an old woman with Alzheimer's can shapeshift into a crow, your superstitious followers will get low morale and won't fight as hard - but if you do, your skeptical followers will be upset and throw the next battle. WHAT!?! This game sucks all the fun out of being a rampaging berserker and replaces it with pop-up lists of resistances, morale ratings, and damage reduction scores. And Odin help you if you don't read every one of them!

Cara, o jogo está longe de ser perfeito, mas é bem interessante e acho que vale a pena dar uma chance. Pontos positivos: - combate por turnos (pra quem gosta é um prato cheio) - é um RPG viking!!! - lembra um pouco o Pathfinder, onde a gente administra não apenas o séquito mas também o reino Pontos negativos: - graficamente falando, não é ruim, mas bem fraco para a tecnologia moderna - o jogo não tem tradução para o português, e para quem não manja patavinas de inglês, não vai se aprofundar muito na história e ainda pode trilhar um caminho ruim nela. - os comandos do jogo são um tanto confusos, principalmente no que tange a administração da cidade por enquanto, é isso que tenho pra dizer. Conforme jogar mais, talvez tenha mais para acrescentar

Excelente game

A friendly romp around Jutland and Britain, where you can take in the sights, fraternise with the locals, spread your culture. Beware of some game breaking bugs, and be prepared to use the console to get out of these situations. I would still recommend the experience.
