Landnama

Landnama is a survival strategy game about Viking clans settling Iceland in the 9th century. Choose a clan and establish a settlement in an unwelcoming land, completing your saga before the increasingly harsh winter takes your final Heart. There is no combat or raiding: the settlers are farmers, explorers and builders, and winter is the central threat.

Explore and settle

Explore each region to uncover hidden challenges and powerful landmarks, then build a settlement and prepare for the Winter’s Toll. Different clans have different skills, and each region brings increasing challenges with no second chances. You can focus on exploration as a hunting clan or develop your settlement into a production hub.

Manage Heart

Heart is the game’s only resource, and you must decide carefully how to invest it. You can gain Heart in several ways, depending on your approach, but you need to complete your settlement before winter takes your final Heart. A ticking clock pushes you toward winter, making each decision part of a race against time.

The world and its pace

The game combines dungeon-crawler thrills with the feel of a city builder. You can freeze time to take in the world’s art and atmospheric music, and explore in detail the settlement you have built and the animated inhabitants who live there.
