A Viking survival game where you build, sail and fight your way through mythic biomes to slay Odin's enemies. Its low-poly look hides gorgeous lighting and a superb building system.
Kit's verdict · 8.5/10
The best co-op survival game in years, best played with friends and a longship.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Excellent building with real structural rules
- Boss fights give real progression
- Sailing is a highlight
Not so much
- Mining and grinding get tedious
- Updates arrive slowly
Play it if friend groups who want a shared Viking saga.
Skip it if solo players who hate repetition.
