April 2025
A rather interesting and simple survival game with a strong Norse/Viking theme.

April 2025
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.

A very harsh, unforgiving/punishing & grindy 2D survival sidescroller with a clumsy combat system. 7/10. Its grim art and nefarious mood can't beat how little of the world & gameplay is in here... only recommending if you can put up with its shortcomings.

The game is a bit rough and punishing at times with the way enemies stand to easily outscale your rate of progression and lack of clarity as to where to find certain items. This however means you have to come up with a more tactical approach to situations even when you are fully geared up to the max, as you always have the option of running and healing. Despite this fustration, which was because I was not heeding it, made for an interesting but not imposible challange. Once you understand the game actually rather simple systems the game is quite fun!

This game is loads of fun. It is somewhat slow to start and is probably best played as a group. I would really like it if the inside of your base changed in appearance as you upgrade your base. The fact that your base can get looted every seven in game days is an annoyance but isn't the end of the world. I would love if there were more story based quests that move your player forward. Overall I really do like this game I just think that with a little tinkering this game could be amazing!
