The monetization model of the game is highly praised for its lack of intrusive ads and non-aggressive microtransactions. Players appreciate that ads are entirely optional and primarily used for obtaining bonus items, allowing for a fair gameplay experience without the pressure to spend money. Overall, the game is seen as respectful to players, offering a balanced approach to monetization that enhances rather than detracts from the gaming experience.
“A fantastic game with no bothersome microtransactions.”
“Monetization is well done and in no way forced.”
“No ads, no sales pitches, no annoying push notifications, just simple calming gameplay, this gets a 5 star for actually being a game and not just another money hungry product.”
“Seems like a cash grab game, where you can get more if you pay more.”
“Yea it's fun to play not pay to win and no forced ads but the problem is the time of upgrading which makes the game unbalanced; one upgrade took 5 hours even if you just play 6 hours below.”
“Good things are that it doesn't contain annoying ads, but the long waiting times are the main reason why I don't want to play this game.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the mechanics, graphics, and the blend of resource management and idle elements. However, many express frustration with the slow pacing and excessive waiting times for crafting and resource generation, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. While the game offers a relaxing experience with minimal ads and fair progression, some users feel that the gameplay loop becomes tedious over time.
“I love the game mechanics; my only problem is the long amount of time it takes to get/produce a single item. I don't mind the upgrading time because that made sense.”
“The game has a great blend of resource management and idle gameplay, and it is very relaxing to pop in, assign tasks, then leave.”
“Incredible gameplay mixed with optional ads and 0 pay-to-win features.”
“The gameplay loop is just not fun; I find myself more frustrated at hitting wall after wall than thinking that I'm enjoying myself.”
“The game started off great and it was fun with good gameplay, but after a while it was just so boring because you have to wait so long for the time it takes to make food. I just want to play the game, not play for 2 minutes and then be forced to wait a century for food to be cooked.”
“If you wait half an hour, you get 1 minute of gameplay before you have to wait another half an hour for something to finish building.”

The graphics of the game have been widely praised for their nostalgic pixel art style, reminiscent of indie games like Forager, which many players find appealing and easy on the eyes. Reviewers appreciate the cute and well-crafted visuals, noting that they enhance the overall gameplay experience without being overwhelming. However, some players have pointed out that character designs can be repetitive, and there are suggestions for more variety in aesthetics.
“The pixel graphics are very appealing to an old school aesthetic and the music is fantastic and perfectly fitting.”
“The art style is great and easy to look at for long amounts of time.”
“I love the graphics and the well-developed theme.”
“Clash of Clans with a Forager art style.”
“My only complaint on the aesthetic front is that all of the Vikings have identical appearances.”
“I haven't played it at all, but my review is that this art style is literally just the art style of an indie game called Forager, with some differences like instead of a pure blank character or different types of weapons and menus.”

The reviews indicate that the game features significant grinding, particularly in leveling up skills and completing quests, which can feel tedious and repetitive. While some players appreciate the depth and variety of activities available, many express that the grind can detract from the overall enjoyment, especially in the early stages. However, the game is still recommended for those who enjoy grinding for upgrades and resource management, with the caveat that it may become monotonous over time.
“Quests give 15 exp, farming gives 3 exp when you need 5,000+ exp to reach level 14.”
“Overall, it's more tedious than fun because you can't do a whole lot besides logging in every 15 minutes for 1 minute.”
“You start with 3 vikings, get your 4th right away, then start repeatedly grinding the same tasks over and over until the game bores you to death before you get your 5th viking.”

The story revolves around a tribal revenge narrative, where players seek to avenge their destroyed village, complemented by engaging quests and appealing art. However, the quest system has been criticized for being overwhelming and poorly structured, leading to frustration in gameplay progression. Overall, while the storyline has potential, it requires further development and refinement to enhance the gaming experience.
“Otherwise great art, story, dev touch... just, well done.”
“I believe if it's expanded upon right like it seems it has been, I'd be ecstatic to see a long drawn-out game in this fashion done very well with a nice complimentary storyline.”
“The story, the amount of activities and the graphics, it's so awesome.”
“You run a tribe and get revenge on another tribe that destroyed your village (anime-style backstory).”
“Loaded with quests when I haven't even completed the ones from level 3; the quest system is horrible.”
“Great ideas, but I don't see much point in attacking only to complete missions to get coins. By the time I get coins, it becomes a never-ending cycle of upgrading and not battling.”
