I like it :) Sounds are great and graphics are nice. As fun as rampaging through the world is, it gets easy very quickly. Is there an end to this journey?

Wow, I totally impressed! This game is pretty addictive! It has simple control, large world to explore and strategic elements. Maybe it needs some tuning, or maybe I am bad at this, but it is hard to control your tribe when it becomes large.

Very fun game. I played it for a while amassing a giant army of vikings lol. Eventually I got bored though as I could never lose but that's ok :). Audio was good!

@rzuf : There is no winning. No ending unless you die.
CAT_IN_THE_DARK_WOOD : Controlling the horde is a bit hard to manage on purpose. But yes, it would need some more tuning. We could have made a much more addictive game !
Leuthil : Yes, the game can quickly become tedious, but maybe if you stick to the goal make the biggest horde possible, you can spend some time.

I really love this idea! Would like to see it turned into a full game. I played for much longer than I anticipated - quite addicting. After 100 people in my horde, tho, I felt pretty invisible. Had to close the game with around 305 =P

@Archonthewizard : you have the special congratulations of the team ! It's hard to get to this amount of people, and further.

nice strategy game. viking running away from your army when you move too fast was one thing that annoyed me. but it was quite fun.

181 vikings. Not sure how strength of a town is calculated. It would be nice to see the number of soldiers that will attack from a town. Example one with 10 people may send only 1 or 5. I wasn't sure if that was based on the amount of weapons in a town. I could see how that is by design so that the player has some risk when attacking. I did learn to attack farms until I got big enough to attack a barracks get some weapons then attack a large town.

really great game, love it!
i played for good 30 minutes, addicting, easy to play, but sometimes i got reckless and got all my crew slayed lol
but my only complain is, sometimes couple of the vikings slowing down and get separate from the group, it just kinda annoying

Nice entry. This game is pretty adictive and it has a good mood. However, I had a troublesome bug: people used to detach from my horde. I had to walk super slow so it does not happen and if I go too fast, I have to go backward to get back the people that left my horde. Sometimes, those people even turn into ennemies! Appart from that, it was made. Good job ;)

Very hard at the beginning, but when you have 100 viking attacking a village with 8 guards, it's really fun. Good job ^^
