What players say
I wish I had more answers about the bugs and or glitches, I have yet to experience those. I do have to say the military stuff seems like something that's for in the very late stages of the game. I just like how cozy it is. I have mods from the community page to decorate my villages better (those trees glitch out a lot). I like how easy it is to be able to calculate how much food is needed. In a lot of city builders...
A nicely made lilttle civilisation management simulation in a viking-setting. Works decently on Windows 11 25H2. Due to the well-made tutorial not many questions are left and the speed of regrowth of the natural resources is sufficient. Step by step the player is guided to become a great Jarl and managing his growing community of Vikings. The achievements are doable without any guide - they are self-explanatory...
The game feels unfinished and full of bugs What is really annoying is that the developers seem to have abandoned the game and moved on to a new one. It's in early access, which means that I won't even consider buying it. There is no way that I will pay nearly the price of the released game to participate in their beta testing (or anybody else's for that matter).
