About Vikings Dynasty

Narrowly escaping certain death after your ship is sunk in a thunderstorm, you find yourself in uninhabited territory. Survive against all odds in an ever-changing environment while you explore the wide open world and fight for your life, relying only on your abilities and natural resources. Build your first shelter and eventually expand your home into a thriving settlement. Experience real viking social life and structures, gain trust and ultimately, power.

With a variety of landscapes, dynamic weather, seasonal changes and the option to take your expeditions to the seas and explore even more areas, the open world of Vikings Dynasty is a dangerous beauty filled with secrets and sights to behold, offering an archipelago with multiple islands, fjords, underwater caves and other secrets.

Collect natural resources, craft the tools you need, go out on a hunt and start building your home. Hone your skills and get access to dozens of items to craft and trade, while you grow your village and your following. Start a family and produce a worthy heir to continue your legacy adhering to all aspects of viking life.

Master the art of shipbuilding and construct a variety of vessels from fishing or cargo boats up to longships and the legendary drakkar. Take to the seas and sail to other islands, where you might find not only rare resources that will give you and your people an edge, but also other villagers eager to join your cause.

Establish a settlement and enhance it with a variety of buildings like workshops, smithy or carpenter, your fellow settlers follow your commands as a Jarl, the undisputed leader of the viking community and protector of your people. Assign them to jobs like farming, hunting or fishing to feed the villagers or let them gather resources so your village can grow and the communities’ needs are fulfilled.

The world of Vikings Dynasty is rich in lore and references to Norse mythology and their gods. Apply runes to your items and boost your equipment. Or make an offering to the Gods and be rewarded with their blessing for you and your people.

With an intuitive building system as well as a deep crafting mechanic, customization and multi-layered decoration, the sky’s the only limit for your viking village. If you want to arrange it chaotically or in a clean manner is fully up to you. Utilize natural resources to your heart’s content, but be wary: If you exploit Mother Nature, she will not forget.
