Expeditions: Viking (PC) - Steam Key - GLOBAL

The Vikings were conquerors and warriors whose actions and culture have left a mark on the pages of history and spawned hundreds of epic stories. One of these Viking tales is the game Expeditions: Viking, created by Logic Artists, released in 2017. It is the second instalment in the Expeditions series, which started in 2013. The game is a classic isometric RPG set in historical realities with strategic elements. Story SummaryThe events in the game take place around 790 AD. Players assume the role of a leader, either male or female, of a Norsemen clan residing in a village on the coast of Jutland (present-day Denmark). Our protagonist is a young chieftain who has taken over leadership after the death of their elderly father. Desiring to acquire wealth and prove their bravery to neighbouring clans, following the footsteps of true historical Vikings, they decide to embark on a raid.Rumours about a blooming, treasure-filled island to the west are enticing enough for our war party to set sail in their longship towards it. Soon, they arrive in England, which indeed offers many opportunities but turns out to be far from defenseless. Our tasks involve keeping the war band alive, exploring the world, raiding nearby villages, and establishing alliances and trade relations. The outcome of our Viking expeditions solely depends on us - we can conquer new territories using the language of the axe, but also using wits and forming friendly relationships. GameplayDue to its classic RPG nature, the game allows for creating and developing a customizable character. We can personalize his or her appearance as well as basic skills and other attributes. The gameplay revolves around controlling the character, who, accompanied by a small team, carries out various tasks, interacts with non-playable characters, explores a fairly large world, and engages in battles.Combat in Expeditions Viking is turn-based and takes place on hexagonal grids familiar to strategy enthusiasts. However, strategic elements go beyond combat - during gameplay, we also have the opportunity to manage our own village and camps set up during our journey. It is crucial to gather supplies, manage them wisely, repair equipment, and heal our team members.Strategic thinking is also required when forging alliances and engaging in trade partnerships. Importantly, the game features a reputation system. This means that all our actions and decisions can have consequences in the future (e.g., someone may refuse to ally with us due to rumours of our brutal deeds).
