Expeditions: Viking

Das Spiel hat sicher seine Schwächen - Ressourcen, Stadtausbau, Handel - alle diese Systeme funktioniere nur rudimentär und tragen kaum Tiefe zum Spiel bei. Das ist schade - es hätte nur kleine Änderungen gebraucht. Aber es hat auch eindeutige Stärken, die man kaum in der Art und dem Ausmaß woanders findet. - Die große Entscheidungsfreiheit ist vorbildlich für Rollenspiele. Ob ich ein Kloster überfalle, mit ihm handle oder für es arbeite, ist tatsächlich meine Entscheidung. Schließe ich mich einem Königreich an oder überziehe ich sie mit Krieg? Wen lasse ich meiner Mannschaft beitreten? Lasse ich meinen Gegner am Leben oder ist mir das zu Riskant? Das ist schon sehr beeindruckend. Es ist da schon ein Stück näher bei "Mount & Blade" als andere Genrevertreter. - Die Handlung ist recht erwachsen geschrieben und Entscheidungen haben Konsequenzen. Einen Kampf zu verlieren hat Konsequenzen. (Hab im Iron Man Mode gespielt was den Effekt verstärkt hat.) Ich möchte mich Aethelred anschließen aber dafür muss ich Haiden zur Strecke bringen - die wiederum haben Kinder dabei und mein Char wiederum glaubt eigentlich sehr an die alten Götter ... es gibt immer etwas abzuwägen. Und alles erinnert stark an "The Last Kingdom" oder auch "Vikings". Wer ein solides Taktikrollenspiel mit interessanten Entscheidungen möchte, das nicht immer die volle Aufmerksamkeit braucht, findet hier ein empfehlenswertes Angebot.

Сначала я убил стариков, потом убил детей, а потом убил монашек и священника. Хорошая игра!

I want to preface this by saying I got the game for 3$ on sale, so keep that in mind in terms of value for the money: (also it is 10+ years old at this point so ya know, keep that in mind too) The good: The combat, when it works, is very fun for being an older game. The story is well written and easy to engage with. Too often now the consequences of a piece of media is world or universe ending. I appreciate that in this story the scope is small. Yes, you're meeting kings and druids, but the end goal of all of this is just to save your home from being taken over by your neighbor. The maps are pretty and it is a fun setting to be in. It was enough to have me wanting more, at least for a little while. The bad: When the combat doesn't work, which is more often than not, it can be very frustrating. It's hard to figure out lines of sight for archers. I frequently thought I had set up my archers to hit an enemy only to be told they aren't in the line of sight. And then the very next turn the AI archers would hit me from the same spot. VERY frequently the enemies would get to move first and I would lose one or two team members before I even got a chance to move. In general this game lacks alot of balancing between roles and in fights. There is also notably no respec for skill points so once you spend them, they're done. This is mainly a problem because you make your character before you know anything about your other party members, or who will join later. So you may spend points trying to level a camp skill only to have someone join at a higher level than you making it a waste. The Ugly: The camera is downright awful, between trying to find an angle where you can see what it is you're doing and it zooming all over the place to see an action it was enough to drive you crazy. You can definitely tell its a 10 plus year old game. lots of quality of life things are missing, meaning you spend alot of time in menus or going back and forth on the map trying to figure things out. Again for 3$ I can't complain that much especially given the games age. It was a fun experience and if you enjoyed expeditions rome, or need something else to play between playthroughs of baldurs gate it's worth it on sale.

Good strategy game. Felt good to make a Norse village stronger. The combat was simple enough but complicated enough. The story was actually kinda interesting, surprisingly enough. I say this because it's a strategy game and didn't expect it. Pretty cool over all. The graphics are fantastic, too.

Surprisingly great RPG. Some of the systems start getting tedious in the second half (combat long turns, loading screens, new locations all have random loot everywhere), but it's worth your time, if you like the setting.

Very buggy. not much of historical Accuracy here to be found. however my favorite quest so far was stabbing to death an adulterer.

Turned out to be way better than I expected. Definitely worth the pickup if on deep discount or part of a bundle. Story and battling are strong suits so far and I am looking forward to more.

Tried playing on normal and half my squad dies in the first round. Awful camp system, you can't even complete all the quests without the game instantly ending because you wasted time. I went archer and I have a 30% chance to hit enemies with my bow when im next to them. Unplayable
