NORSE: Oath of Blood

+ good graphics, story, music, has the potential to be a great turn based strategy game - too short 15-20 hours - we need sandbox game - we need Vikings to plunder England and France - it would be nice if they included a family tree - conquer other cities and territories

Just finished it, in roughly 47h. Not too long, not too short. I liked the story, music, cut scenes. Sometimes it's better to have a linear story, with human crafted map then generic procedure generated ones. Now I wish they will also make DLC for it, I will come back in a year to check. There were some bugs also, 1 at early stage almost got me dropping this entirely but good that I retried. In fact it was 1 battle that didnt get the finish button at the end, and reloading recent saves didnt help, only restarting from beginning of that map solved it. It was the only mission that got this issue in my run.

Joguei o começo de NORSE: Oath of Blood sem esperar muita coisa e acabei curtindo bastante. O clima viking é muito bem feito, o mundo passa uma sensação de perigo o tempo todo e as batalhas exigem pensar antes de agir, não dá para sair fazendo qualquer coisa. Também gostei da parte de administrar o vilarejo e ver tudo evoluindo aos poucos. Ainda estou no início, mas já deu para perceber que o jogo tem potencial para render muitas horas para quem curte estratégia e RPG. Gravei uma gameplay mostrando o começo da aventura e minhas primeiras impressões. Se quiser ver como foi esse início, passa lá no canal!

Overall a recommend. Good story and good turn based combat. Graphics ok and ran smooth. Some negatives - only about 20 hrs to complete campaign (get on sale), some UI issues like items disappearing from timeline, crafting equipment is only one upgrade level and you will not unlock gear for all classes, and very few optional missions to build up levels on fringe characters (you will only need to level up 6-7 characters).

Пока не починят баги к покупке не рекомендую, приходится переигрывать бои из-за того что персы просто перестают ходить

Habe das Spiel jetzt durch und muss sagen,.... TOLL! ja.. es hat Ecken und Kanten, ist nicht sofort intuitiv und man muss sich, gerade bei dem Dorfausbau, etwas reinfuchsen. Aber es hat mir sehr gut gefallen und die erzählte Geschichte ist richtig gut erzählt. Ich hätte mir aber gewünscht, dass ich mein Dorf weiter ausbauen könnte. Viele Gebäude hätte ich noch bauen können. Alles in Allem aber zu empfehlen. Grafik ist gut, Kämpfe gehen gut von der Hand!

Great game, I would like the game be better optimized for older computer laptops so visuals could be far better.

The game still feels like it’s in early access. I really like the concept, and the story and banter between the characters are genuinely fun. Unfortunately, the gameplay feels very unpolished. Combat tries to be interesting and has potential, but it gets repetitive and boring pretty quickly. Settlement management is also very minimal, with not much actual strategy involved. On top of that, the camera movement and navigating the map can be frustrating and annoying. I really wanted to like this game, and I’ll probably play a bit more because I enjoy the characters, story, and cutscenes. But the gameplay itself makes it feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.
