Description

BUILD, LEAD, SURVIVE

In ASKA, forge a thriving Viking stronghold where survival, strategy, and brotherhood shape your fate. Take command of a resilient tribe as you build from the wild, craft essential tools, hunt the untamed forests, and stand together against relentless threats. Lead intelligent villagers with unique strengths and needs, guiding them through the trials of a merciless world. Play solo or unite with up to three allies in cooperative play to carve your legacy in the frozen north.

BUILD AND CUSTOMISE YOUR OWN VIKING SETTLEMENT
Create a village that’s more than just shelter—design every building, from longhouses and forges to watchtowers and sacred altars. Each structure plays a crucial role in sustaining your people, fueling progress, and defending against danger. Shape your settlement to reflect your people’s strength, ambitions, and traditions.



A LIVING, BREATHING VILLAGE
Your settlement is alive—every villager follows a daily rhythm of work, rest, and survival. Watch as individuals grow, adapt, and respond to their needs for food, shelter, and companionship. Each has unique perks that shape their role, from skilled laborers to fearless hunters. As their leader, you’ll witness stories unfold and bonds form, turning a group of survivors into a true community.



LEAD YOUR TRIBE
Direct your people with purpose—assign roles, train in vital crafts, and develop a self-reliant society. Cultivate expert blacksmiths to forge unmatched weapons, equip daring hunters to forage distant lands, and prepare your warriors for battle. Strategic leadership ensures your tribe thrives, adapts, and endures.



PREPARE FOR WAR - AND HARSH WINTERS
Peace is fleeting. As the Blood Moon looms and winter’s grip tightens, your tribe must endure blizzards, starvation, and ancient supernatural horrors. Strengthen your defenses, gather vital resources, and uncover dark forces hidden across the land. Craft powerful runestones to empower your people and resist the encroaching darkness. Will you stand firm—or fall to the frost?

ASKA is a decent colony simulator, but it falls short as a VIKING colony simulator. You can spend hours, even days, planning your village and making adjustments until it works properly. But once you do, there's not much

I've tried to stay away from early access games but this one was irresistible. I like that you have to actually try to get things going. You work and it pays off. Definitely a fun game so far in my first play through.

Hundred hour mark deserves a review. Yes, I'm having a lot of fun with this one. But the colonists need to be watched or they will do unexpected things. The warehouse worker is basically a thief that will cause your

This game has some wonderful building elements, as well as combat and the music is pretty in and out of combat. BUT: Collecting resources can get really old and tedious fast, especially when you are playing by yourself.

Aska has honestly become one of my favorite survival games because it combines two things I really enjoy: deep base building and a strong Viking atmosphere. The game does a great job making you feel like you’re actually
