Tribes of Midgard, a new survival action RPG, recently released to send players journeying into Midgard, Norse Mythology’s iteration of Earth. Everything from mythical creatures to deadly spirits and gigantic brutes linger in the fantastical world. These creatures threaten to bring Ragnarök, the prophesied end of the world, but players step in as a Viking tribesman to save their people and prevent the destruction of all life. Along the way, they may even become a thing of legends.
A New Look Into Viking Mythology
Taking the helm of a mighty Einherjar, players will get to experience Viking mythology firsthand. Players can explore the lands, discover dungeons, slay legendary beasts, and build almost anywhere, all while protecting the seed of Yggdrasil from a nightly invasion of Helthings. Along the way, they face an ever-looming threat of the Jotnar, epic giants determined on smashing the seed and the villages surrounding it. Players can combat this mythical threat alone or with ten other tribesman.
With the right resources, players can bolster their defenses and hone their skills. Ample variety of classes, weaponry, and armor are available to help give that final edge in tense combat scenarios. Through that, powerful abilities can be unleashed along with clever traps that give enemies some nasty surprises. Features and mechanics like these showcase the historical roots of what Tribes of Midgard is inspired from. The game’s events, creatures, and sense of the coming end are all prevalent in Norse Mythology.
A Legendary Mythos, Reimagined
Tribes of Midgard provides a creative exploration into a mythos brought about by the Germanic Tribes during the ninth and thirteenth centuries. The game provokes a sense of fantasy, using history from the myths to take center stage. A new perspective into the Vikings, almost similar to what Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has done, is here for players. Along with its wide range of survival, action, and roleplaying mechanics mixed in, Tribes of Midgard proves to be a promising experience for players to delve into.
