Vinland Tales: A New Isometric Survival Experience 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 title transports players to the icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a new colony.
Familiar Territory for Colossi Fans
Fans of Colossi's previous work will find Vinland Tales instantly recognizable. The game utilizes an isometric viewpoint, low-poly visuals, and a relaxed approach to survival mechanics. The core gameplay loop revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.
A Wealth of Features
Beyond the core mechanics, Vinland Tales offers a range of features designed to keep players engaged. These include minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons, providing ample content to explore. Cooperative multiplayer is also available for those who prefer a shared survival experience.
Concerns Regarding Depth
The primary concern with Vinland Tales is Colossi Games' rapid release cycle. While the studio's ambition to explore diverse settings and historical periods is commendable, there's a risk that this approach might compromise the game's depth. Whether Vinland Tales will carve a significant niche or fall short remains to be seen.
