It doesn’t sound like a cross between simulation games and Banner Saga-styled strategy RPGs would go over well, but in CCCP’s Dead in Vinland, that’s exactly the case. Your family is driven from their viking homestead by war and invaders only to have your ship sink and find yourselves washed up on a hostile island. It’s a complex, strategic, and heartfelt story of a family and a people’s will to survive.

    Obligatory "this is an MMO site, and this isn't an MMO" comment that people love to make. Kidding kidding, I dig the art style of this game (similar to banner saga). I also appreciate games that allow you to make impacting (meaningful) decisions that have consequences as this shoots up replayability. Will keep my eye on this one.

    The game sounds kind of cool. The art style is interesting. The rogue-like stuff seems a bit over the top. The whole family committing suicide and depression after winning a battle isn't a Viking hallmark.
    Yeah, I thought the suicide thing didn't make sense. But then again, maybe those in iceland have more insight to that part. Still, seems incongruous with Vikings.

    You actually LOSE that battle with Bjorn, and I didn’t take care of my family after. Hence the depression.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    Looks interesting definitely on my list, I love anything Viking, so it gets a bit of a head start.

    When you threw in a Sims comparison I lost all interest.

    it reminds me much more of this war of mine than the sims to be honest.

    This have been a good conversation
