Vinland Tales: A Viking Survival Adventure from Colossi Games
Colossi Games, creators of Gladiators: Survival in Rome and Daisho: Survival of a Samurai, have launched their latest casual survival title, Vinland Tales. This new game transports players to the icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a colony in a harsh, unfamiliar land.
Fans of Colossi's previous work will find Vinland Tales familiar. The isometric perspective, low-poly visuals, and relaxed survival mechanics are all retained. The core gameplay loop revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering – essential for survival in this unforgiving environment.
Beyond the core mechanics, Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features. 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 Question of Depth?
The main concern regarding Vinland Tales is Colossi Games' rapid release cycle. While their ambition to explore diverse settings and historical periods is commendable, the potential sacrifice of depth remains a question. This could determine whether Vinland Tales carves out a significant niche or falls short due to a lack of substance.
