I like. Is good. Yes.

A rather interesting and simple survival game with a strong Norse/Viking theme.

Great game, it is similar to a vanillaware title however its mechanics are a bit on the simplistic side. Graphics are beautiful, sound is ok, controls are not very responsive, difficulty is very high and you really have to have a strategy to solve the late game encounters.

Positives A lot of things to upgrade and craft The style is detailed Hard but somewhat fair You get drawbacks from dying but in a fair way (you have to craft a potion to get rid of the drawbacks which in itself takes some time to gather - Hint: you only need ONE potion to get rid of multiple drawbacks from dying). Sounds are great Negatives Some things that you craft are so tied into other things you craft that need the same stuff, there is no way to pin a recipe, which makes it tiresome. Even though tools and weapons are made of TITANIUM they break like glass (should last easily 10x longer in my opinoin) The inventory space doesn’t justify the amount of different things you can collect. You have to scroll through a list in the different workbenches which becomes more of a hustle the more you upgrade. Besides that, things that you can craft is not sorted on top, you have to scroll through things you can’t craft in order to see what you can craft. And every workbench has at least 50 different things to craft. This should be sorted into different tier instead of just a long laundry list. The game feels like a flash-game because of input-lag of some sort. Besides that the game also prefers keyboard-input more than mouse input. For example - when crafting things you only craft one at a time, if you spam RMB it waits for the greyed-out button to become “interactable” again. But when you spam ‘E’ (by default) you can easily spam that. However you don’t know how much you’ve crafted until you let go because it takes half a second for it to update how much you craft. When fighting animation sometimes do no damage or it doesn’t register, it takes time for the damage to update. That is also for things you pick up after kills (‘Q’) the prompt stays even though the item is gone. Conclusion The game is interesting and maybe better to play with a friend. Playing it alone is not recommended because you have to build, fight, gather, mine, craft tools and weapons that breaks constantly, fend off enemies when your base is getting attacked, gather offerings when it prompts you to do so (if you fail within the limited time you will lose progress) If you can stand the input lag and have a friend with you it could be fun. That I could recommend. There is tons to upgrade and explore which keeps this interesting. In my 17 hours of gameplay I have just scratched the surface. 4/10 - singleplayer 6/10 - Co-op
