Viking Survival Saga: Conquer Icy Lands in Vinland Tales

Vinland Tales: A New Isometric Survival Experience from Colossi Games

Colossi Games, creators of 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 frigid north, where they assume the role of a Viking leader establishing a colony in uncharted territory.

Familiar elements for fans of Colossi's previous work are present: an isometric viewpoint, low-poly visuals, and a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. The core gameplay revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.

Vinland Tales offers a wealth of features beyond the basics, including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons. Cooperative multiplayer 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 commendable, the question remains whether this speed compromises the depth of their games. The success of Vinland Tales hinges on whether it can carve out a unique niche or if its relatively streamlined gameplay will limit its long-term appeal.
