- It’s cold outside, and you can take that chill into the palm of your hand with Landnama
- Seeing you take on the role of viking chieftain, you’ll have to plan out the perfect settlement
- Just beware, because winters can be long and harsh in medieval iceland
As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for anything viking-related, I can’t help but feel a chill of excitement when I hear about Landnama. With its hex-crawling puzzle gameplay and focus on the unromanticized life of medieval Icelandic chieftains, it’s like a frosty breath of fresh air in the gaming world.
It appears that recently, survival games set in harsh winter conditions are gaining popularity. For instance, Whiteout Survival is garnering attention at the Tokyo Games Show, while Frostpunk has been released for mobile devices. It seems that many people have a strong fascination with the idea of enduring cold temperatures and potential death.
In Landnama, there’s more to concern yourself with than just survival. This intriguing game, set in a Viking era and featuring hexagonal maps, invites you to gradually establish a settlement as you assume the role of a Norse chieftain navigating the harsh winters of medieval Iceland. Unlike many games focused on Vikings, Landnama emphasizes the challenges of daily living for these resilient individuals, offering an engaging experience that goes beyond the usual focus on combat.
In this game, you’ll traverse various ecosystems while managing your primary resource, The Heart, to stay alive. As a tactical challenge, every choice you make is significant, and the varying landscapes and tiles you move across will influence how your colony expands.
It’s grim up norse
I’m a big fan of vikings, maybe that’s my Danish ancestry or because the idea of drinking mead and sitting in front of a roaring fire just sounds appealing to me. Either way a new entry in the surprisingly small strategy genre for this time period and people is always welcome.
You can find Landnama out now on the iOS App Store and Google Play!
