ASKA

the micro managing gets very old and I'm super discouraged by the lack of loot. love the game for what it is but feel like I should be getting loot when im finished and invasion?? not just large stones :/ hopefully that gets fixed soon. Other than that, I really enjoy the game,

It's still early days for me, but I want to set straight a few misconceptions I've read in the comments that nearly turned me off the game. The game is akin to Valheim, but it's also _not_ Valheim. Where Valheim demands exploration, instead you'll spend time building up a village. The grind level is similar (I think Valheim is overkill, tbh) - but you gain villagers that you can put to work on any task. They work fast - they'll actually run - and I've had no issue with them being stupid -- providing you give them proper instruction (use the work area flags, set their priorities and make sure they have tools). You yourself should never sleep - sleep is in real-time and you only use it for 30 seconds to gain a buff, but otherwise you work through the night. Resources are abundant, and if you have trouble finding fibre, just set a worker to get it instead. The game is perfectly stable, performant and bug free. The only issue I've found is that the woodcutter didn't go and get a new a...

This is honestly the only kind of city builder I really enjoy. It mixes combat, automation, creativity, and building in a way that feels balanced and fun. The graphics and atmosphere are great, and I really like how straightforward the combat is, it’s simple and logical without being overcomplicated. At first the game can feel a bit overwhelming, since it doesn’t really explain how you’re supposed to play. In a way, that leaves room for different playstyles, but early on it can definitely come across as a little too tough, especially for new players. You really need to prepare for winter and have at least a decent defense, because the early events can be brutal. Even on easy, they can wipe you out if you’re not ready. The seasons fly by way too quickly for my taste, so I’d recommend extending them, or even maxing them out, if you want a more relaxed playthrough. The map itself looks nice, but it feels a bit too small and repetitive, and there’s not a lot of exploration t...

I love survival games. Not this one. The tedium is off the charts. 1. Movement speed is a serious problem. You do everything so slow. Get ready to spend hours performing tedious tasks to keep the village running (at the early stage of the game). When one tedious task is complete you have 3 more things to do. All at a snail's pace. 2. Combat is simplistic. Swing, block, dodge. That's it. This would have been acceptable in a survival game 10 years ago. 3. Everything has a durability bar. You made arrows 2 days ago? Well, they rotted out. You want to get stocked up on rope? Nope. 4. There are survival settings on start up so you can tailor your game. Kudos for that. If you are 10 hours into your game and realize the game isn't balanced to your liking, you can't change it. You have to start over. Ten hours of tedium gone. You will audibly sigh when you have to hunt again in 2 days because all of your food is rotten only because hunting is NOT fun. I migh...

Finally, a true game of survival, with a Viking twist. This game is designed to DESTROY you, and everything you spend hours to build. It quickly ramps up to keep you constantly on your toes. And, winter is coming, so you have to prepare you and your troops, quickly and efficiently. Fail to do so, and your villagers will either perish or leave out of despair. And I love every minute of it.

Great game! Crafting, building, fishing, hunting, mining, fighting. Let's play!

game has a good lay out except for the building side of things haveing to build stuff for other people in ur tribe and maintain there food and water is madness along with haveing to building loads of huts and fences before u can even think about crafting better weapons to fight with or explore the map needs a whole new ui on the building and npc lay out for this game to reach a much bigger player base iv played 5 hours and all i have done is die build huts chop trees and make bloody rope cuz none of the npc's can do it gets very boring real quick when ur haveing to save 6 othere peoples lifes (npc) along with ur own.

Its a nice mixture of survival game and city builder. You can and should automate almost everything. Gameplay loop is a good mix of troubleshooting "economy" and building new stuff, then exploring and fighting bosses. There is a decent level of things to discover and optimize. Love it

Graphics look good. Menus work okay. Animations are well done. Most game mechanics are well made. BUT... There NEEDS to be settings for how grindy you want to play. 12 ropes for one early game building? Nope. This is an INSANE amount of tedium. Micro management might be fun if every gathered resource did not have a timer attached. NO WAY I am going to spend the majority of my gaming time clicking on trees and rocks. Also, the nights are too long. I don't care how realistic it is, I don't enjoy being blind half the game. And, no, you can't bypass night by sleeping. Lastly, villagers are ALWAYS begging for me to make yet another food hunting flag. Obviously the game does not spawn near enough food sources. This is a GRINDING VILLAGE BUILDER SIM< NOT AN OPEN WORLD SURVIVAL GAME. Somewhat disappointed in this purchase because it is not what I was expecting. I will revisit this game in a few months.

Aska, This game if you like the type of civilisation building game, Where you painstakingly build up your empire and start to have everything automated only for that one f****** villager that takes a cart full of materials straight through a F******* Drauger field and leaves the damm cart behind leaving your outpost delayed again Other than that, With the recent Smolker farming, The devs show to really care about a game in early access, it's not like other projects that end up abandoned. If you like the idea of a little settlement game maybe give this one a shot Devs tho it'd be nice for like a corpse harvesting role give the stone cutters somethin, hopefully we get an equivalent for eggs like a giant bird or somethin
