Vikings are somewhat in the fashion at the minute. Whether it’s the psychological anguish of Hellblade, the tactical mastery of The Banner Saga or the brutal combat of God of War, the Norsemen have never been more popular in video games. And with that esteem there comes the games like Dead in Vinland.

Cloaked in a veil of Viking imagery, Dead in Vinland is a turn-based survival game. As a family of four shipwrecked on a foreign shore, you must manage the collection and distribution of vital resources to keep everyone alive. Unlike other group survival games, like This War of Mine, losing a single character is a fail state and ends the campaign. While I personally prefer games that force you to live with the consequences of your decisions, there is a reason for it in Dead in Vinland.
