The era of Vikings may be gone, but the impacts of their legacy are felt today, including being the inspiration for many video games. Today, developer Black Deer Games and publisher Daedalic Entertainment revealed that it’ll be taking things way to the north in a new RPG tower defense title called Hordeguard: Winds of the North. Handling the monsters and threats that this land brings will not be easy, and you’ll have to manage your resources well while also building yourself up to handle bigger and more powerful dangers that come to your home. If you’re up for the survival task ahead, check out the game’s breakdown and trailer below:

“In Hordeguard: Winds of the North, every battle is a race against time. Gather resources, expand your Viking settlement, and strengthen your defenses before increasingly powerful waves of mythical enemies descend upon your village. Before each assault, players must decide how far they are willing to venture from the safety of their settlement. Every resource gathered can strengthen the village, but every moment spent exploring brings the next enemy wave closer.

Whether fighting solo or alongside a friend in local co-op, every decision shapes the outcome of battle. Earn experience, unlock powerful upgrade cards, recruit your warband, and specialize as a fierce warrior, master builder, or resilient defender while adapting your strategy to survive each relentless assault.”

If you desire even more details on the upcoming game, here are some of its key features:

• Action Meets Tower Defense: Combine real-time combat, strategic base building, and RPG progression in a Viking survival experience.
• Build an Unbreakable Settlement: Gather resources, expand your village, and upgrade fortifications to withstand increasingly dangerous enemy waves.
• Shape Your Viking Hero: Earn experience and unlock upgrade cards that enhance your combat abilities, defenses, and overall strategy.
• Explore the World of Norse Mythology: Battle relentless hordes of mythical creatures across a harsh world inspired by Viking legend.
• Fight Together in Local Co-op: Team up with a friend, divide responsibilities, and work together to gather resources, build defenses, and protect your village.
