Hammerheart

Hammerheart is a hardcore roguelike set in the Viking age, combining directional medieval combat with party customization and strategy. You play as an individual Anglo-Saxon commander in the early 10th century, leading a force against Viking armies in the chaos of battle.

Command and fight

You fight on the battlefield yourself, where timing and precision are important to surviving each engagement. You also command and position your companions, fighting alongside them to gain a strategic advantage. Treat injuries and distribute equipment to give your party the best chance of survival.

Permanent death

Death is permanent: if you die in battle, you lose all your loot and companions and start again from the beginning. Maps, encounters and loot are randomly generated, while differences in weapon mechanics vary each run.

The Viking age

The game depicts a period when Vikings had grown from small raiding parties into large armies capable of conquering kingdoms and extorting ransom. Its characters, weapons and settings are crafted with attention to historical accuracy.
