Tactics for Surviving Iceland's Harsh Winters in 'Landnama' Revealed

Sonderland has been releasing some unique games recently. I recently covered the Android launch of their new game, Bella Wants Blood. Now, I'm sharing news of another recent release: Landnama – Viking Strategy RPG.

The title pretty much explains it – a Viking-themed strategy RPG. You'll play as a resourceful Viking chieftain striving to establish a life in medieval Iceland. Forget typical city-building; this is a different kind of challenge.

Survival is Key in Landnama – Viking Strategy RPG

The core challenge is surviving the harsh Icelandic winters using a single resource: Hearts. Hearts are the lifeblood of your Viking clan, crucial for building, upgrading, and simply staying alive.

Landnama – Viking Strategy RPG blends strategy and puzzle elements. Combat is minimal; your focus is on nurturing your Viking community. You'll explore, strategically build, and carefully manage resources to keep your people warm.

The game's pace is brisk and engaging, with calming visuals. Here's a look:

Your Hearts resource determines your actions. You must decide between expanding your settlement (which consumes Hearts) or focusing on hunting and building reserves to endure the winter.

Choosing fertile land for building is advantageous, but each terrain presents unique obstacles. Fans of Northgard and Catan will find Landnama particularly appealing. Find it now on the Google Play Store.
