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 new title transports players to the icy north, where they assume the role of a Viking leader establishing a colony in an uncharted land.
Familiar elements for fans of Colossi's previous work are present: an isometric viewpoint, low-poly visuals, and a relatively relaxed approach to survival mechanics. The core gameplay revolves around colony building, clan management, and resource gathering.
Vinland Tales offers a substantial amount of content beyond its core mechanics. Players can engage in minigames, join guilds, develop skills through talent trees, complete quests, and explore dungeons. Cooperative multiplayer is also included, allowing players to team up with friends.
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, it raises questions about the depth of each game. The success of Vinland Tales will depend on whether it offers enough engaging content to stand out in a crowded market.
