This is one of the buggiest games I've ever played. I was incredibly excited for this game and when I heard it had a ton of bugs I held off from playing it to give the devs a chance to fix it and not ruin my experience

The game is okay'ish at best. I would unfortunately not recommend it. The core gameplay mechanic, so what you would be doing almost all the time, is turn based melee combat with a viking skin. There is limited character

I finished the game and I'm happy it's over. I bought the game at the launch day and it was a mistake. Lots of bugs - most of them is already patched up. But even ignoring the bugs, the game is fun only in the first

I was looking forward to play this game. But as of June 2026 the game just sucks IMHO. I can probably live with the well below average UI. But the game is almost unplayable in its current stage: bugs, bugs and more

I had high hopes for this game that were quickly shattered. There are a lot of animation glitches and bugs. Armor and equipment bugs, looting bugs, I could sit here and list them all but the truth is the game just needs

Great combat and story. Building your base was an interesting concept but I liked it. The only issue's I had was FPS was incosistent and some graphics not rendering. Other than that it was an amazing game
