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?

This game is incredibly buggy. Villagers don't perform assigned tasks, storage doesn't work properly, Played 100+ hours and lost all of my progress due to a corrupted save. This game is trash until it is fixed.

My files corrupted after restarting a world and grinding for around 6 hours yesterday to be closer to a mine. This game is way too grueling to be that easy to corrupt your game files. Not worth it until they figure that

All I can comment on is the beginning stages of colony building, but this game definitely has a strong hook to it. I'm doing hard labor in my spare time. And I paid money for that experience. They're doing something
