31 of 31 · most liked firstShort version: 41% Nothern Tale is a time manager with a tremendous amount of potential, ruined by pacing issues, a lack of a proper story, and level design that is mediocre at best. Long version: Northern Tale 1 is just another entry in the sea of resource managers where we have to use our small workforce to gather resources, clear roads, and construct production buildings. This time, we do it to cleanse the Viking land from a curse, while also saving the three daughters of our hero, Ragnar,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found this little gem as I was wandering thru the steam store. It's a time management type game like "My Kingdom for the Princess" and very well done. It runs very well on my older PC and has cute music and nice looking graphics. And my favorite part...It has a relax mode so I can play without having a timer stress me out. There are two types of timed game play (normal and hard) if that's your thing, but I personally don't like timed games. There is one bad point...If you have your…

Some levels are very difficult and despite the fact the the game doesn't have Steam Achievements, it has 50 achievements inside the game. The music is great and I can spend hours and hours playing this. Recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I suppose this is for young children, as it is the definition of a bare-bones time-management game. Except i've played through 1/3rd of the game and have yet to encounter the squirrel Viking. Anyway, if you have played any of the Viking Brothers games, the setting here is similar. The levels have no story or dialogue to them, and nothing new happens in level 14 that didn't already happen in level 1: that is, you don't learn any new skills or upgrades or encounter any new obstacles. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Time Management game has charming artworks and the unusual possibility to play without timer. If you would like to try one of those game without being stressed by the time limit, this one may be the right to buy to test out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game Information "Northern Tales" is a Strategy game. The game was developed by Realore Studios and published by Qumaron. "Northern Tales" is the first episode of "Northern Tales." The Game Review Game Visuals I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu. Game Audio I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thoroughly enjoyed Northern Tale and would play it again! What I like most about it is it caters to my playing style. Rather than rushing through trying to complete the level in a certain amount of time, I like to play relaxed and complete everything: all resources picked up, all holes filled, all buildings to the max, etc. Northern Tale allows me to do that and doesn't penalize me for playing that way (3 stars awarded on all completed levels). Even though some levels can lead to "strategy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Less polished than some other series (say, 12 Labours of Hercules), but quite playable. Has an untimed difficulty and in-game achievements. Fullscreen works on multiple monitors. Runs great on Steamplay (Linux Mint 18.2 64-bit (Kernel 4.13) NVIDIA 384.130 i5-6500 / GTX 1060).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you ever played the endless stream of Hercules games, this is like that. Maybe a little more simple, but the gist is the same. Always better in a bundle, but at 2.99 USD it is ok. 5/10 full price 8/10 in a bundle where it is inexpensive, and you realize it is pretty simple and takes your mind off of things.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A funny casual game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game, not the best in this genre, but worth the time and money. It will provide you many hours of fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came for the hamster viking, stayed for a very relaxing and satisfying game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice clean the road type of time management game. It just gets a bit boring if you play it all in one session since it doesn't really introduce any new elements across the game, but for shorter play sessions it is great. Works fine on Linux with Proton (Proton 4.2-1).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of my first games on pc. Still a great game!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not bad. I'm thumbing it down because it doesn't deserve a 100% user score. Nonetheless, this game doesn't have much in the way of flaws. The difficulty setting is a bit high. Your micro better be on point in order for you to have any hope of getting the 3 star time on most, let alone all, of the levels. The in-game achievements aren't synced with Steam. There's not a lot in the way of story. It's mostly just a pretext for the gameplay, as well as occasionally introducing you to special…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game in this genre of games buy on sale even better
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best random steam key game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice, well-made time/resource management game. It has a time attack feature when you have to complete the levels in less time possible and a relaxing modality when you can max out all the resources with no stress. The story is very basic, the graphics and music is ok. I would recommend only to people who really like resource management games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Viking Series is one of my favorite, I've tried other series and I don't know why but they're just not as good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's lovely to find one of these games that's actually challenging! Worth every penny and having played through and achieved all 2 and 3 stars I'm even tempted to play more that the 22 hours I've already played and get 3 star clearance. (Although I'm really unsure I'll be able to!)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Little gem. Enjoy it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it fun... yehh. Is it challenging... not really. Didn't get really challenged until level 40. There are 45 levels haha. If you're looking for casual enjoyment grab it fora buck! If you want a challenge go for 12 Labors of Hercules or Moai.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun,relaxing,enjoyed it alot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and long lasting adventure
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a bit too classic, but it's a correct time management game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was having a bad day when I started this game and I found it absorbing enough to take my mind off things. I played with the timer off (why add to my stress?) and found it very enjoyable. The music and sound effects were nice, not annoying. The only negative I could see was the font on the loading screens - it just made the game look a bit cheap and unprofessional. But who really cares about that. If you can get this game at a discount it's a nice way to spend a few hours, and probably quite a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Northern Tale is a time management game in which you have to make your way to your objectives by clearing the path of obstacles and useful resources. You start with a villager at your town center, and you must select the object you want the villager to work on next. The villager will run down the path, and interact with that object to clear it, making room for the next part of the path. Objects include resources (food, wood, and gold), obstacles such as woodpiles and rocks, and gold chunks,…
