2. Expeditions: Viking

Expeditions: Viking Let’s Play showing the introductory

Expeditions: Viking takes a kinder, more realistic outlook on the history of the Viking people. It’s a tactical top-down RPG where you control your very own clan chieftain.

Navigate the complex social gameplay and gain political favor with various factions, defeat enemies in tactical grid-based battles where you level up your warriors, and a-mass wealth through raiding unsuspecting towns or establishing friendly trade relationships. 

In Expeditions: Viking your choices truly matter, and if you burn one village to the ground, the neighbors might not be so keen to trade with you.

Be careful of your reputation as you might find yourself surrounded if you’re too blood thirsty, but then again, perhaps that’s what you want? Valhalla awaits.

The game features one of the deepest choice-based conversation systems we've seen in a long time. Very reminiscent of old school Fallout games, with additional features like being able to make NPC's uncomfortable with long silences, potentially causing a slip of the tongue.

Combat is of the tactical grid-based variety. Some warrior types counter others and as you kill more enemies’, individual members of your clan will level up and get better at certain actions. Over time your high-level warriors will feel precious to you.
