Description

Tribes of Midgard for PC is an action role playing game (ARPG) survival game very loosely based on Viking mythology. If you are looking for something fun with a vague theme, this is the game for you – serious students of the Norse tales might need to look elsewhere. The game features elements of rouge like play – each time you’re wiped out you lose what you are carrying, but you get season XP which accumulate steadily.

About the Game


You play as a fallen Viking warrior – one whose soul has been collected by his Valkyrie and carried off to Valhalla – called an Einherjar. Instead of carousing and fighting all the time, you have been given a new duty: to protect the seeds of Yggdrasil from Helthings, dark elves, trolls and giants who want to destroy them, and perhaps the tree itself.

The game is very fast-paced and fairly unforgiving. In saga mode, you have about two hours to complete your mission before the endless winter (Fimbulwinter) arrives and puts an icicle in all your plans.

By day you’ll complete missions, but at night you must return to the hub to defend it from Hel’s minions. However, once permanent winter arrives, there are no more days, so you must work exceedingly fast!

Huge creatures called Jotnar (many Jotnar but one Jotunn) seem to be laughable enemies, large, lumbering and slow, but they have a huge health pool, so you must start chipping away at them promptly, lest they make it to your stronghold and do serious damage before you can bring them down.

Souls are currency, gathered from fallen enemies – and big ones like Jotnar make you seriously wealthy! You will use souls to save the tree, upgrade your village and the craftsmen, earn better items from vendors, and repair structures like bridges and walls. You will lose souls if you die, so keep track at all times and ‘bank’ them when you can.

Gather resources as quickly as you can, and use tools to do so, if necessary. You need to keep upgrading everything all the time in order to cope with the increasing difficulty of the game, so you must spend your precious time wisely. For example, choose, when you can, where you want an enemy to fall – they can bring down trees etc so you gain all the resources from the enemy and the tree in one move.

Watch the moon – every now and then a blood moon gives you a hard time with extra-tough enemies – but the next night no enemies come to harass your village, so if you are wanting more time exploring/ to go further on the map/ or need to gather night time resources, that is the night to choose. Fenrir is the final boss of the game. He is a child of Loki and Angrboda, a snaky sort of woman. He is tough to beat, as you might expect.

Enemies cluster in camps as well as seeking you out and raiding their camps can yield nice amounts of loot – the bigger the camp, the more loot you get.

In this game you must play hard and fast from the very beginning – unlike in other survival games there is no cushion of a day or so while you get used to your location and work out how to craft and gather resources – it’s all go from the moment you start the game!

The Nitty Gritty


You can play solo or co-op in groups of ten. That is to say, you can play solo, but the game is really intended to be co-operative as there’s just too much for one player to cope with easily for very long. Instead, in a group of ten friends things are much easier and more enjoyable.

The game has a strong element of time and resource management, and you must learn to grab stone and wood as quickly as you can, level up NCP craftsmen as expediently as possible, and decide how and where to deploy the precious resources you find and craft.

There are two modes of play, saga mode (which is basically story mode) and survival mode (which is essentially ‘endless play’). There are eight gameplay classes (ranger, warrior, berserker, warden, seer, guardian, sentinel, and hunter), each with unique combat properties to master and choose between.

Shrines are everywhere, and once activated they help you fast travel to and from the village. The war chest keeps your inventory safe even if you die so check back in every now and then, even if it costs you time!

Water is lethal to you – and to your enemies too! At every opportunity, shove ’em in the water if they seem to be gaining the advantage over you!

It is a good idea to keep an eye on the noticeboard so you know what missions are going and how many you can do while you go about your business. Everything you do chews into your time, so learning to multi-task and working especially quickly is a must.

In multiplayer mode, you can come and go for 3 game days, after which the game locks you in – you can exit through the Bifrost, but you can’t come back until much later, assuming the game is still ongoing.

Where To Go?


There are five biomes to play through, each holding unique resources so you will end up exploring them, whether you intend to or not!

  • Bright Forest: the default location, it is lush and temperature, green with trees, full of lots of resources, and easy to play

  • Land of Pools: sogginess awaits!

  • Ash Beach: swimsuit not necessary…

  • Glacier Peaks: freeze on a mountain in the name of fun!

  • Smoky Highlands: if you can’t handle the heat, stay away from here

    • Tribes of Midgard for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    At the moment it is very grindy and dependent on having a team, rather than using matchmaking(people leave or outright sabotage teams by not knowing ins and outs). Gameplay is okay, but you're forced to grind ~3 hour long game sessions so much it turns old really fast.
    • Enticing core gameplay loop
    • Bad reward design (super grindy, while game isn't built for grind)
    • Encourages safe gameplay. Death of the tree loses one type of rewards.
    • Design choices make new players sabotage teams without realizing iit
    • Only good with friends (enough of them to fill a team)
