›Story

As the newly appointed chieftain of a modest Viking clan, you’ll have a village of your very own. But to carve your name into the runestones of history you’ll need great strength, and great wealth to grow your village’s prosperity and renown. There is little left to be gained from the Norse lands and so you must set your sights on the the seas to the West, where tales speak of a great island filled with treasure ready for the taking.

Gameplay

Expeditions: Viking is set during the Viking Age. Players take the role of a clan chieftain (which they can design with character creator) and can become either conquerors, merchants, or diplomats.

Reception

Expeditions: Viking received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Daniel Starkey of GameSpot summarized: "Viking lives in its atmosphere, so it's appreciated that most of the game is a spirited romp. For now, that experience is mangled by dozens of technical hiccups and anachronisms."
