Viking Life

The end is just the beginning

Viking Life is a roguelite action strategy game. You are the jarl, and you fight in the front line: you swing the axe yourself, raise your shield just in time and command your warband in the same breath. Every saga is a raid across three lands. Fall in battle, and you wake up in Valhalla. The souls you have won build up your village, and the next saga starts stronger.

Fight in the front line

• Combos, blocks and rolls. Catch a blow on your shield at the last moment and turn it back on the enemy. Arrows and axes fly back at whoever threw them.
  
• Orders on the move. Hold the order wheel and the battle slows down: charge, follow me, hold the line, fall back.
  
• Six weapons. Sword and shield, great axe, spear and shield, bow, crossbow and throwing axes. Forge them in your village and carry one for close combat and one for range.

Raise a warband

• 16 kinds of warriors. Swordsmen, spearmen, shieldmaidens with two daggers, huskarls who throw axes from behind their shields, berserkers. In England and France, hire longbowmen and knights, chevaliers and crossbowmen behind their pavises.
  
• Five levels for every warrior. From level 3, an archer can become a crossbowman and an axe fighter a berserker.
  
• Skill cards for two. Every card makes both you and your squad stronger, each in its own way: Parry, Explosive Arrows, Archer of Odin, Bloodthirst and more.

Three lands, one saga

• The Fjords. Fight other Vikings in deep snow that slows everyone down.
  
• The Knights' Camp. English summer, wheat fields and thunderstorms that shorten the reach of every bow.
  
• The Golden Castle. French autumn, scorching heat and catapults that rain burning boulders on your army.
  
• Choose your path. The map is new for every saga: raids, champions, hoards, campfires, the forge, the altar, the Fish Merchant, wanderers who join your warband and oddities along the road. At the end of every land, a boss is waiting.

Build your village in Valhalla

Six buildings with eight levels each: houses, fishing, market, training camp, forge and walls. Every level helps the next saga: more warriors at the start, more sapphires, tougher shields, new weapons at the forge. The village fills with people as it grows.

Strange, but deadly

Sir Throwsalot, Robin of the Ditch, Captain Bim and Captain Bom, the Golden King. The Goat of Destiny and a Valkyrie on a Break. Trophies like Odin's Spare Eye, curses like the Angry Sheep. And the Fish. It does nothing. Probably.
