Description



Ragnarok is here. Stuck in a perpetual time loop, Sunna and her tribe of Vikings must explore a fractured World Tree and attempt to reach the top of Yggdrasil.


Create settlements, build your deck and collect artifacts as you explore the nine realms of Norse Mythology in search of answers in this roguelike city-building game. Can you overcome and survive the new dangers of this broken world?




Players’ settlements will constantly be in a race against time to avoid the Ginnungagap. Each failure will bring them back to the beginning of their adventure, where they can start anew with more knowledge and a better mastery of the game mechanics.




The Holt is your permanent, customizable home and acts as the main hub of the game. Unlock new mechanics and permanent upgrades that will help you rebuild your tribe!




Befriend a diverse cast of Scions that will bring unique playstyles, bonus and modifiers to each loop.




Procedurally generated islands, encounters, and events will punctuate your experience, guaranteeing that no two expeditions are the same! Before each run, add and remove building cards to your deck to create different challenges and opportunities each time.

Key features

  • A roguelike city-builder experience where each run matters: gather resources, upgrade your deck, and progress further each time to reach the top of Yggdrasil!
  • A colorful cast of diverse characters including deities, heroes, scions and other beasts inspired by Norse mythology
  • Multiple Biomes to explore
  • A unique drafting/deckbuilding hybrid system that changes which buildings are available during each loop
  • A customizable hub called the Holt, where you can unlock permanent upgrades to help you on your subsequent runs and change the experience

This game just didn't do it for me. I like all the things this game intended to do, but it kinda fell short. It's not worth full price, but maybe when it goes on sale, give it a shot. If you don't like it within the

Don't put reminders in your game to leave a review on Steam. I don't want Nutty the malevolent and poorly grammared chipmunk screaming at me every time I start a run to leave a review on Steam. This game not good. The

There's no real steam option for "It's kind of mid but still a nice way to kill a couple of hours," so here we are. I've been working on unlocks and still can't get the damn Valkyire's achievements, so I guess I'm

I'd describe it as a more roguelike version of Islanders. The "build variety" is a bit limited, though what is there I like. Certain buildings (especially the starting choice house types when I played) completely change

I absolutely love this game. It was very difficult to wrap my head around the different houses and heroes, but it was so enjoyable when I got things to work! I'm also a huge fan of the roguelike system they implemented,

Are there any deck-builder city-builders with meta progression that aren't janky as hell? I played a lot of different deck-builders of all kinds and shapes, and I came to the understanding that it's this exact
