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

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 icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking leader establishing a colony in an unforgiving land.

Familiar to fans of Colossi's previous work, Vinland Tales utilizes an isometric perspective and low-poly graphics, maintaining a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. The core gameplay revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.

Beyond the core mechanics, Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features, including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons, ensuring a substantial amount of content. 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 time 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 a unique niche or if its relatively streamlined approach proves insufficient to maintain player engagement.
