This includes throwing massive, stalking giants known as Jotnar who slowly make their way to the village. The first couple of nights aren’t so bad as long as everyone sticks together, but as each passing day goes, the difficulty quickly ramps up. Hoards after hoards of these creatures swarm the town, hoping to kill off the world tree and thus bringing the end of Midgard. There’s no PvP, and soon after a full day (in-game) nightfall fell, and it became abundantly clear why there is so much focus on the co-operative aspect.Īt night, demonic Helthings spawn and the game quickly goes from being a scavenging survival, to a city defense. Instead, in most matches I played, everyone journeyed with one another, tackling the many foes in the world, and earning some high level gear. However, unlike most survival games you don’t have to worry about random players showing up and striking you down on sight as everyone is working together towards the same goal protect the seed of Yggdrasil at all cost.Īs someone who is all too familiar with the survival genre, and by that I mean I’m no fan, I thought it was a nice refreshing change knowing that the player nearby was likely going to help rather than rob me of all my loot, and leave me as a nude corpse rotting in the middle of nowhere (looking at you, DayZ survivors). Similar to many other survival games, you will immediately set off into the world searching for resources and rare loot to better yourself. While solo play is entirely possible, Tribes of Midgard does empathize that playing in co-op is a sure way to victory as the mode has some intensely leveled beasts and other challenges. My journey into the world of Tribes of Midgard starts me off in the Saga mode, the game’s main beef. However, that’s not what Tribes of Midgard put itself out as, but instead as a massive, almost survival MMO-ish open world where teamwork is an absolute must. That’s the gist of it, and if you go in expecting some heavy, world-building story then you’ll end up feeling a bit letdown. By day, you’ll scavenge the large open world, solo, or with up to nine other players in hopes of getting stronger, building better defenses, and preparing for the imminent doom of Ragnarök. Taking place in a Midgard village, you start your journey off as an underwear wearing Viking whose sole purpose is to protect the seed of Yggdrasil, or more commonly known as the World Tree. If you’re curious what kind of game it is, or more importantly, if it’s a game worth paying and playing, then read on for our Tribes of Midgard review. What is Tribes of Midgard? A survival game? A horde mode style game? Roguelite? City defense? Hack and Slash? The answer, all of those and developers Norsfell does a fantastic job at blending all the genres into one enjoyable co-operative experience.
