Colossi Games' latest Android release, Vinland Tales: Viking Survival, plunges players into a thrilling Viking survival experience. Following the success of titles like Daisho: Survival of a Samurai and Gladiators: Survival in Rome, this new game blends action RPG elements with classic survival gameplay.
A Viking's Tale of Survival and Settlement
Shipwrecked on an unknown shore after sailing from Iceland, players assume the role of a Viking chieftain tasked with establishing a thriving colony. Vinland Tales seamlessly integrates combat, crafting, and village building. Gameplay involves familiar survival activities like logging, mining, and hunting, setting the stage for exploration, conflict, and conquest. The initial objective is establishing a base camp, which eventually evolves into a bustling Viking village.
As rescued clansmen arrive seeking refuge, players must assign them tasks, constructing homes, defensive structures, and resource processing facilities. The game features extensive crafting, from basic sustenance to potent potions, requiring the construction of various workstations such as hunting cabins, sawmills, stone cutters, cooking pots, tailoring tables, and iron smelters.
A Vast and Perilous Landscape
The game's setting, Vinland, presents a challenging environment of icy plains, treacherous swamps, and dense, dangerous forests. Players will uncover the saga of Leif Eriksson, participate in raids, and construct places of worship dedicated to Thor and Odin. A diverse arsenal of weapons, from spears to bows, is available, upgradeable for increased lethality. Players will confront formidable enemies, including Ragnarök forces and bandit leaders, while progressing through quests, talent trees, achievements, and clan-based PvP leaderboards.
Available now on the Google Play Store, Vinland Tales: Viking Survival offers a compelling blend of survival challenges and Viking-themed adventure. For more gaming news, check out our coverage of Tears of Themis' Luke birthday celebration.
