About This Game
After constructing a specialized dock for river expeditions, players embark on raids across six distinct English and Continental waterways under the mentorship of Vagn, a seasoned Viking navigator. Each river presents a branching network of channels, islands, and tributaries dotted with varied targets—from isolated civilian villages and fortified military positions to religious sanctuaries and druid strongholds—that demand different tactical approaches and yield unique plunder. The procedurally-shaped environments transform familiar river systems like the Exe, Severn, and Dee into dynamic raid zones, culminating in grander objectives such as a sprawling French city along the Rhine, ensuring each expedition offers fresh challenges and rewards for those willing to test their raiding prowess.
