How it feels

A brisk, strategic time-management game where you urgently gather and deploy resources to defend cartoonish Viking lands from waves of invading monsters.

What players say

Players call it a comfortable but unchanging time management game that adds nothing new. The story follows an aging Ragnar, levels involve clearing obstacles and gathering resources, and a no-timer mode lets you play at your own pace. Some note that a handful of later levels introduce mildly annoying mechanics like seaweed or auto-closing bridges.
