Looks like abandonware. Another average concept meets vastly below average execution. The "dilemma/scenario" events have like the same 3 choices for every event, and there's like 4 events total. No balancing at all. The game is a cake walk. No scratch that, cake walks have value and purpose. This does not.

About This Game
Manage your Hoard
Chop down trees, plant and grow crops, hunt wildlife, mine for ore, and fish from the surrounding seas and fjords. Manage your resources carefully to ensure you can outlast the harsh winters, and expand your settlement from season to season.
Know your Vikings
Each of your villagers is a unique character in their own right. With 20+ characteristics, your villagers might be powerfully built strong men and women or silver-tongued thespians. Pay attention to skills and abilities when assigning tasks to your people. Not all Vikings are alike, nor are they equally good at all jobs!
As your settlement grows, more Vikings will seek to join. You can choose to welcome them or turn them away. Over time, your Vikings will begin new families and give birth to new generations, extending their lineage and strengthening your settlement.
Survive Fierce Weather and Events
The land will bring many challenges to your settlement, from earthquakes to fire-starting lightning from Asgard. Unite your Vikings to withstand these disasters as best you can.
The seasons bring their own challenges, as do events and disasters. Be ready for storms, blizzards, or the long, deadly cold of the winter season. Prepare firewood and food stores to keep your Vikings warm and well-fed!
Trade with Neighbors
Your neighbors are an excellent resource for goods and gold. Once you build a Trade Dock, ships will visit you with various cargos. You can also send out your own trade missions, as long as you have enough villagers to crew the vessel - and enough beer to fuel the crew!
Raid and Plunder
Any good Jarl will tell you that brute force is the best path to glory. Gather your Vikings and raid foreign villages to plunder their gold and silver, and gain Fame points. Train and strengthen your Vikings, and command them through the all-new battle system to ensure your victory, while defending your settlement from other villages!
As your settlement flourishes, Viking heroes will want to pledge their valor to your cause. These heroes will lead your troops into battle, inspiring confidence and providing other bonuses along the way.
Celebrate and Decorate
No grids allowed! You can build wherever you want, designing your settlement as you see fit, and to increase your Vikings’ happiness. Construct monuments to Odin or Freya and customize the look of your Viking ships. You can even modify the look of houses with the Building Editor. This powerful in-game editor will allow you to build and personalize an unlimited number of buildings and decorations!
Yggdrasil, the Tech Tree of Life
Unlock new buildings and bonuses by spending Fame points in the Tree of Life. Discover beer brewing and build a Tavern for your villagers to relax in. Invest in goat farming to gather wool and weave fabric for better clothes. As you create better quality living and resources, your Vikings will become healthier and happier, and your settlement will flourish!

User Reviews
I really wanted to enjoy this. It looks nice, starts off well but it's a big basic. Chickens don't produce eggs... wheat fields seem to make 30 wheat whereas barely makes 250 and fills up the granary. Farmers keep planting more barely against my instructions.... I was persevering until I got a bug where the camera would permanently scroll no matter what i pressed. Even a restart and re-load didn't fix it. Gave up.
It would be a great game, if not for the homeless.
Not really interesting. It is Banished, but with a Viking theme and more bugs and less content.
Simple, easy but time consuming. Thumbs up!
I do enjoy this game and have played it for a while on and off. Once you get all the achievments there is nothing much to do though. Once you can go to war the game gets a bit more personality with the war system, but it's very repetative. Same earthquake that ruins 1/4 of your town every time and I still haven't figured out what the size of the animal pens does, just taking up space? The thrall system doesn't do much and at some point it just feels like I'm gathering materials just to have enough houses for all the homeless. I don't remember how much I payed for it, and I did enjoy the game but it's defenitly not worth the price it is at currently.
really great game.you can build your village and build your army and grow village or city ✨
