Viking Colony Thrives 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. Set in the frigid north, players assume the role of a Viking chieftain, tasked with establishing a thriving colony in an unforgiving land.

Familiar Territory for Colossi Fans

Fans of Colossi's previous titles will find Vinland Tales instantly recognizable. The game utilizes an isometric viewpoint, low-poly visuals, and a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. Gameplay centers around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering—all crucial for survival.

Beyond the Basics

Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features, including engaging minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons, ensuring a rich and varied experience. Cooperative multiplayer allows players to team up with friends and conquer the challenges together.

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 approach compromises the depth of their games. The success of Vinland Tales will depend on whether it carves out a unique niche or feels too superficial to sustain player interest.
