Dead In Vinland

Publishers that listen to complaints

I am a viking geek and instabuy anything remotely related to Old Norse and Viking Cultures so when this game was released I was immediately interested was absorbed in storytelling and gameplay and logged quite a few hours. But the more time progressed the more I fell victim to the RNG and decisions being taken out of my hand with a downwards spiral that let me inadvertently lose without me as a player being able to stop it. The game fell apart because I lost resources, needed sheep but could not get them because exploration meant fighting and my already damaged crew could not handle it and so on. In short: it became frustrating despite the nice graphics, interesting characters and cool story. I stopped playing it. On other platforms I saw the complaints about the relentless RNG even on easy mode and could not agree more. But with the new update all the complaints have been addressed: Now the difficulty is totally up to the player and things that are annoying or too difficult can be toned down or avoided alltogether. Kudos to the devs for listening to the complaints and making this possible! Now I can give it another try. :)
