Vinland Tales: A New Isometric Survival Experience from Colossi Games
Colossi Games, creators of Gladiators: Survival in Rome and Daisho: Survival of a Samurai, have launched their latest casual survival game, Vinland Tales. This title transports players to the frozen north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a new colony.
Familiar elements for fans of Colossi Games' previous work are present: an isometric viewpoint, low-poly visuals, and relatively straightforward survival mechanics. The core gameplay loop revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.
Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons, ensuring ample content. Cooperative multiplayer is also available for those who prefer a shared survival experience.
A Rapid Release Cycle?
One potential concern is Colossi Games' rapid release schedule. While their ambition to explore diverse settings and historical periods is commendable, the question remains whether this speed compromises the depth of their games. The success of Vinland Tales hinges on whether it carves out a unique niche or feels too superficial to maintain player engagement.
