Vinland Tales: A New Viking Survival Adventure from Colossi Games

Colossi Games, creators of popular titles like 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 an uncharted land.

Familiar Gameplay, Frozen Setting

Fans of Colossi's previous work will recognize the isometric perspective, low-poly art style, and relatively straightforward survival mechanics. The core gameplay loop centers on colony building, clan management, and resource gathering—essential elements for thriving in this harsh environment.

Beyond the Basics

Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional 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.

Concerns About Depth

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 rapid pace compromises the depth of gameplay. This could determine whether Vinland Tales carves a significant niche or fades into obscurity.
