Everything worth knowing.

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 al
