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 title transports players to the frozen north, where they assume the role of a Viking leader establishing a new colony.

Familiar elements for fans of Colossi Games' previous work are present: an isometric viewpoint, low-poly visuals, and a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. The core gameplay loop 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 ample content. Cooperative multiplayer is also available for those seeking a shared survival experience.

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, it remains to be seen whether this approach compromises the depth of their games. The success of Vinland Tales will hinge on whether it offers enough engaging content to stand out in a crowded market.
