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

Vinland Tales: A New Viking Colony Sim 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 new title transports players to the frigid north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a colony in uncharted territory.

Familiar Gameplay for Colossi Fans

Fans of Colossi Games' previous releases will find Vinland Tales instantly recognizable. The game retains the isometric viewpoint, low-poly art style, and relaxed approach to survival mechanics that define the developer's signature style. The core gameplay loop centers on colony building, clan management, and resource gathering—all crucial for survival.

Rich Features and Cooperative Play

Beyond the core mechanics, Vinland Tales boasts a range of features to keep players engaged. Minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons provide ample content. 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 hinges on whether it can carve out a unique niche or if its relatively streamlined gameplay proves insufficient to maintain player interest.
