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 icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking chieftain establishing a new colony.

Familiar elements for fans of Colossi Games' previous work will be present. The game utilizes an isometric perspective, low-poly graphics, and a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. Core gameplay revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.

Beyond the core mechanics, Vinland Tales offers a wealth of additional features, including minigames, guilds, talent trees, quests, and dungeons to provide extensive content. Cooperative multiplayer is also available for those seeking a shared challenge.

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 approach compromises the depth of their games. The success of Vinland Tales may hinge on whether it offers enough engaging content to stand out in a crowded market.
