About
Chop down trees, plant and grow crops, hunt wildlife, mine for ore, and fish from the surrounding seas and fjords. Manage your resources carefully to ensure you can outlast the harsh winters, and expand your settlement from season to season.
Each of your villagers is a unique character in their own right. With 20+ characteristics, your villagers might be powerfully built strong men and women or silver-tongued thespians. Pay attention to skills and abilities when assigning tasks to your people. Not all Vikings are alike, nor are they equally good at all jobs!
As your settlement grows, more Vikings will seek to join. You can choose to welcome them or turn them away. Over time, your Vikings will begin new families and give birth to new generations, extending their lineage and strengthening your settlement.
The land will bring many challenges to your settlement, from earthquakes to fire-starting lightning from Asgard. Unite your Vikings to withstand these disasters as best you can.
The seasons bring their own challenges, as do events and disasters. Be ready for storms, blizzards, or the long, deadly cold of the winter season. Prepare firewood and food stores to keep your Vikings warm and well-fed!
Your neighbors are an excellent resource for goods and gold. Once you build a Trade Dock, ships will visit you with various cargos. You can also send out your own trade missions, as long as you have enough villagers to crew the vessel - and enough beer to fuel the crew!
Any good Jarl will tell you that brute force is the best path to glory. Gather your Vikings and raid foreign villages to plunder their gold and silver, and gain Fame points. Train and strengthen your Vikings, and command them through the all-new battle system to ensure your victory, while defending your settlement from other villages!
As your settlement flourishes, Viking heroes will want to pledge their valor to your cause. These heroes will lead your troops into battle, inspiring confidence and providing other bonuses along the way.
No grids allowed! You can build wherever you want, designing your settlement as you see fit, and to increase your Vikings’ happiness. Construct monuments to Odin or Freya and customize the look of your Viking ships. You can even modify the look of houses with the Building Editor. This powerful in-game editor will allow you to build and personalize an unlimited number of buildings and decorations!
Unlock new buildings and bonuses by spending Fame points in the Tree of Life. Discover beer brewing and build a Tavern for your villagers to relax in. Invest in goat farming to gather wool and weave fabric for better clothes. As you create better quality living and resources, your Vikings will become healthier and happier, and your settlement will flourish!

The game is still in a beta state and the devs have basically abandoned this game. No new updates have been uploaded since last year and they recently released a new game, so basically no work force has been put into this game anymore. Do not buy.
It's a fun yet unfinished game. Game is also abandoned for their nEw gReAT gAmE. Don't buy, it's abandoned.
I have been waiting on this game to be finished. To be playable, because of all the bugs it has, not to mention the lack of features that would make it worth playing. And NOW they are begging us to buy their new game. Nope, I don't trust companies that do that. Space Engineers pulled that crap on us with Medieval Engineers. We learned our lesson. Never trust a company that has shady practices.
Abandoned by the devs Who have moved on to other projects while pretending to care about this game. Not calling it a cash grab but it's not far away tbh.
Unfinished............but give them more money for the New game they haven't Finished...
I bought this game quite a bit ago and have some time in it. I uninstalled it because so many bugs and no updates for over a year. Honestly, it seems like the developers abandoned this game...if they start fixing things and offering updates, I may reinstall. It's frustrating to see a game I was really excited for be treated like this..
More positive than neutral, but just barely. Pretty basic and similar to many other games of the same genre just with a Viking aesthetic. It's more of a chill and casual game. It can be entertaining for a few hours simply going for achievements to unlock, but there does not seem to be much depth. It is best enjoyed at full speed otherwise it is a lot of waiting and hoping workers do what you want them to or seasons pass by to accomplish certain objectives. Some of the more interesting unlocks can take a while to reach and even some QoL-type ones to make playing a bit less micro-manage and grindy, but then seems like you could just let the game manage the little things for you instead. Then what is the point if it becomes a quasi-idler? I will probably get back to trying to unlock the rest of the achievements as that seems to be easy enough, just takes a bit more time (grind) to get some of them. Overall, I can only recommend this on heavy discount. Look elsewhere if you want more strategy and complexity.
More Abandonware. Devs moved on to another game to grab your cash.
Like every other game these days the developers only think of PC players that sit a nose length from their monitors. UI is to small to read, especially if you have any vision issues, making it extremely difficult to play.
I enjoyed this game but I feel like the game missing something. At the start it was nice and all but towards end game it just became a little bit tedious and boring, there was nothing to do anymore and was underwhelming. I would say this game is probably in late beta stage in my opinion. The Good: - Settlements feel alive. Villagers have skills, needs, moods, relationships and jobs that actually matter. It doesn't really effect much on the gameplay but just a general feelings which is positive. - Tutorial is done properlly. - Great atmosphere. Season changes, weather and music are all great. - The building sim is pretty decent, was very enjoyable building and expanding the settlements. The Bad: - Not completed game, feels beta phase. - Pretty basic and similar to many other games, it's too chill/casual. - Some core mechanical issues, an easy example is death ( you rarely notice when it happens so monitoring workers is a thing ). - No configuration system. You cannot choose easy/hard mode or control disasters. Like the game is not bad it is just lacking that's all.
