Description



Chop trees, plant and grow crops, hunt wildlife, mine ore and fish from the surrounding seas and fjords. From victuals to vikings, manage your resources carefully to ensure you can outlast the winter, and expand your settlement season to season.




Each of your villagers is a character in their own right. With 20+ characteristics, your villagers might be powerfully-built strongmen and women or silver-tongued thespians. Pay attention to skills and abilities when assigning your people to a task. Not all Vikings are alike, nor are they equally good at all jobs!

More Vikings will ask to join your settlement as it grows. You can choose to welcome them or turn them away. Over time, your Vikings will begin new families and give birth to new generations, extending their lineage and strengthening your village.


This land will bring many challenges to your settlement, from earthquakes to fire-starting lightning from the heavens above. Band together and withstand these disasters as best you can.


The seasons bring their own challenges, as do events and disasters. Be ready for storms and blizzards, or just the long deadly cold of the winter season. Prepare firewood and food stores to keep your Vikings warm and fed!


Your neighbors are an excellent resource for goods and gold. Once you build a Trade Dock, ships will visit you with various cargo. You can also send out your own trade missions, so long as you have enough villagers to crew the vessel -- and enough beer to fuel the crew!

But any good Jarl knows that force is the best path to glory. Raid foreign villages to plunder their gold and silver, and gain Fame points. Train and strengthen your Vikings to ensure your victory.


No grids allowed! You can build wherever you want, designing your village as you see fit, and to increase your Vikings’ happiness. Construct monuments to Odin or Freya and customize the look of your Viking ships. You will even be able to modify the look of houses with the Building Editor, in one of the Early Access updates!




Unlock new buildings and bonuses by spending Fame points in the Tree of Life. Discover beer brewing and build a Tavern for your villagers to relax in. Invest in goat farming to gather wool and weave fabric for better clothes. As you create better quality living and resources, your Vikings will become healthier and happier and your settlement will flourish!

A heavier Banished revamp

For whoever played Banished, you just can't shake that impression and it's sadly what prevents me from giving it 5 stars: "I've already played this". There's no avoiding comparing both games! Land of the Vikings plays the same way: it's a light city builder mixing in survival elements, and I can't help feeling it tries too hard at following in Banished's footsteps. LotV adds in however a military element (launching/defending against raids) and seemingly diplomatical relations, however I haven't yet had the opportunity to put it at work - some forgettable settlement events happen too. The tech tree's new too, for an impression of progress; it lets you unlock passive bonuses and new facilities as you keep acquiring points, or enable new actions during raids. Said points are acquired through fame, which is a double-edged sword: either you keep acquiring more in successful actions (raids, exploration...) either you keep failing and can't progress. The difficulty is on the easy side though so it's largely forgiving! Some decorations improve buildings' outputs, however it takes so many that either it clutters your screen, either you build the same 25 times on the same spot. The city's more lively, but it's a chore, honestly. The main improvement is the ability to choose which worker goes where, knowing their respective aptitudes (strength, thought, luck, speed) and distance from workplace influences their output. Where it sadly falls IMO is the fast population growth, which keeps me endlessly building new houses as homeless people keep accumulating. Catching up with them takes so much of my time (that, and replacing dead workers) that I end up choosing the fighting event during festivals for casualties, simply to cull my population (to hell with morals)! The game's good at what it does and will probably see updates, so let's be positive; still I can't feel as enthusiastic as I thought I'd be because it's too close to Banished - "I've already played this"!

Not that good

There are many reviews like it's "Banished with vikings". It's not. The world in this game is dead. Remember in Banished you started with a limited food supply and first thing you'd build some huntsman or fisherman or otherwise your people starve to death? Well, here you start with 0 (zero!) food and somehow your population doesn't starve. Establishing your food supply is waaay down your priority list, after building marketplace, carpenter shop and whatnot. Game has seasons and day/night cycles and apparently one season lasts like 5 days? Your silver miraculously multiplies after you build the market despite you having no contact with outer world. Trees that you cut down regrow in few days. There is no easy way to see the list of all resources available (unlike Banished). The only good thing this game has is building and people models that were apparently bought in an asset store.

Needs work

Beautiful graphics, but adds nothing new to the "Banished" genre. The events didn't feel special and there's a lot of quality of live improvements which need to be made, like needing to deselect the current object you want to place to place a different one.

It's alright.

It's not bad. I got 50ish hours out of it and don't regret it. The replay value isn't really present, however. Some general annoyances: I can't tell how much firewood I have for winter. That isn't displayed anywhere. My coal mine had 700-something coal but people are still freezing. I don't have a way to better distribute the coal. On my most recent freeplay attempt, my people just wouldn't build a woodshed. I have the resources. I have builders. Instead they all just walked past the build site and froze to death two months later when winter arrived. Starting feels very, very slow and that may be the worst part for replay value. Just add a 'stock pile' or some-such device near the starting point; some one-time use pile of stone, wood, and food. That'll let some basic construction happen. I didn't like having to micromanage the fishing huts to keep boats repaired. Let me hire a foreman. I got silver, I'll pay. A good quality of life patch on this would go a long, long way.

Such an interesting game.

Excellent detail, intelligent gameplay. Evrything that I love in this kind of game. The challenges are just that, but not insurmountable, and the game provides a clear developmental path. Enjoying every second so far. Keep it up please.
