Iron Tides

Iron Tides is a game in which you lead a Chieftain and a steadfast crew against the anger of the gods and the fury of the sea. You explore a hand-crafted ocean, choose which dangers to face and fight quick, turn-based battles for as much loot as your ship can carry.

Voyages and encounters

The ocean holds dangers and chance encounters. You can explore dusty ruins, bribe corrupt enemy garrisons and haggle with lost merchants. Narrative encounters offer multiple solutions, and your choices shape your story, including whether to spend time plundering statues when your warriors need food.

Battles take place across varied settings, including broken ruins, ancient temples and the decks of warships, where you face the denizens of the Iron Tides.

Your crew

Each Viking has four abilities drawn from a pool of seven, as well as a unique, procedurally generated upgrade path. This creates a range of possibilities for developing your warriors. When a Viking dies, they do not return to help on the next raid; their deeds live on in the halls of Valhalla.

Norhaven

After a successful voyage, you return to your stronghold of Norhaven. There you can buy newly available wares, recruit warriors and plan the next raiding season.
