This game is currently in the Humble Choice for January 2023, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before February 7th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A fun survival game with a focus on battle.
Tribes of Midgard does a lot to let people get into the survival genre. Looting of items is extremely fast, players can level up and build up their base and character as they want. The entire game is based on trying to survive, as long as the player can, against an onslaught of enemies, including impressive giant Jotuns, and if players fail the game resets and has the player start over on a different map to make different choices.
The other side is while the tutorial is good, there’s a lot to understand, to the point I would say most players are going to have to spend 5-10 hours just to understand the proper flow of the game or read a guide. But there’s a bigger problem. There is a cash shop, which appears to be limited to cosmetic items, and a battle pass, with daily or weekly quests, that’s something I always call out. With Ubisoft and Gearbox Publishing involved with the game’s launch, I worry.
Pick this up if you like survival games, especially if you want to partner up with a few people and play a game. This has a 10-player online multiplayer which is unique, and while there’s only a horde mode and a survival mode, it does feel like there’s a decent amount of content here to keep you entertained.
