Vinland Tales: A New Viking Survival Adventure from Colossi Games
Colossi Games, creators of popular survival titles Gladiators: Survival in Rome and Daisho: Survival of a Samurai, have launched their latest casual survival game, Vinland Tales. This new entry transports players to the icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a colony in uncharted territory.
Familiar elements for fans of Colossi Games' previous work are present: 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. These familiar mechanics are enhanced by a variety of additional features.
Vinland Tales offers a wealth of content including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons. Cooperative multiplayer is also available, allowing players to team up with friends and conquer the harsh environment together.
A Rapid Release Cycle?
One potential concern is Colossi Games' rapid release schedule. The studio seems focused on exploring diverse settings and historical periods, but this could lead to a lack of depth in individual titles. Whether Vinland Tales can carve out a significant player base might depend on whether this rapid development compromises its overall substance.
