Hearing I ask from the holy races,
Völuspá
From Heimdall’s sons, both high and low;
Thou wilt, Valfather, that well I relate
Old tales I remember of men long ago.
Winds of the North, a 1-player sandbox game set in Viking Age Scandinavia, releases today! Begin your own saga to earn Fame and become the next legendary monarch in this campaign of adventure and survival.
A Saga Sandbox
You can be a great hero like Sigurd or Beowulf, hunting monsters and defeating foes in combat. Or work your farm and build a grand settlement, and earn Fame by being proactive in the community. Or venture out into the world, and seek fortune however you come across it in your travels. Or hunt and gather resources to trade in bustling markets.
But no matter your chosen path, you must also navigate the realities of the medieval world. And in Scandinavia. that means challenging winters. People need food and warmth to survive, and your livestock is also at risk; you’ll have to tend to wounds and illnesses.
Your turns are simple, choosing from a selection of activities according to the
season: two activities each in-game week. The turn structure is similar to a lot of
board games, and less intimidating than the free-form nature of traditional RPGs. And
there are 23 total activities and over 200 encounters and events to explore!
