  • Real-time strategy
  • Vikings
  • Building

Real-time strategy with Viking clans colonising a newly discovered island. Limited territory, harsh winters and several ways to win: military, trade, wisdom or fame. Slower-paced than a classic RTS.

When you want an hour-long strategy game, against the AI or against friends.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys building and expanding more than the frantic micro of other RTS games.

When not to pick it

If you want turn-based strategy: here the clock is running.
