Vinland Tales takes you to the frozen north to build your own Viking colony in this casual survival release

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 familiar elements in Vinland Tales. The game utilizes an isometric perspective and low-poly graphics, maintaining a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. Core gameplay revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.

Beyond the core survival loop, Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features. Players can participate in minigames, join guilds, develop their characters through talent trees, and explore quests and dungeons. Cooperative play is also available, allowing players to team up with friends.

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 raises questions about the potential depth of each game. Whether Vinland Tales can carve out a significant player base will depend on whether it offers enough substance to stand out from the crowd.
