Vinland Tales: A Viking Survival Adventure from Colossi Games

Colossi Games, creators of popular survival titles Gladiators: Survival in Rome and Daisho: Survival of a Samurai, have launched their latest casual survival game, Vinland Tales. This new title transports players to the icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a colony in a harsh, unfamiliar land.

Fans of Colossi's previous work will find a familiar isometric perspective and low-poly art style. The game maintains a relaxed approach to survival mechanics, focusing on building a thriving colony, managing your clan, and gathering vital resources. These core elements are essential for long-term survival.

Beyond the core gameplay loop, Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons, providing substantial content. Cooperative multiplayer is also available, allowing players to team up with friends and conquer the challenges together.

A Rapid Release Cycle?

One potential concern is Colossi Games' rapid release schedule. While their ambition to explore diverse settings and historical periods is admirable, it remains to be seen if this speed compromises the depth of their games. The success of Vinland Tales will depend on whether it carves out a unique niche or falls short due to a lack of substantial content.
