Vinland Tales takes you to the frozen north to build your own Viking colony in this casual survival release

by Eleanor Jan 23,2025

Colossi Games' latest offering, Vinland Tales, transports players to the icy north with its familiar isometric survival gameplay. This casual survival experience casts you as a Viking leader, tasked with establishing a thriving colony in an unfamiliar land.

Fans of Colossi Games' previous titles, Gladiators: Survival in Rome and Daisho: Survival of a Samurai, will find Vinland Tales instantly recognizable. The isometric perspective, low-poly visuals, and relaxed survival mechanics create a visually appealing and accessible experience. Building a colony, managing your clan, and resource gathering are central to survival.

Beyond the core gameplay loop, Vinland Tales offers a wealth of features including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons. Cooperative play allows you to team up with friends to conquer the challenges together.

A Viking's Journey

The primary concern regarding Vinland Tales is Colossi Games' rapid release cycle. While their ambition to explore diverse settings and historical periods is evident, the potential sacrifice of depth remains a question. Whether Vinland Tales will carve a significant niche or fall short due to a lack of depth remains to be seen.
