What is Tribes of Midgard?

A Viking survival action RPG set in procedurally generated worlds threatened by Ragnarök. Alone or in online co-op, you gather resources, craft gear, build and defend a village, explore dungeons and oceans, and fight creatures, Jötnar, and Ancients. Survival mode supports play at your own pace, while Saga mode turns the same systems into a race against endless winter.

+you prefer cooperative PvE against giant bosses
+you like choosing between open-ended survival and timed runs

Not for you if...

Players praise co-op exploration and Survival mode's gathering, crafting, and base-building loop. Common complaints include repetitive progression, clunky combat and building, connection or lost-progress problems, and public matchmaking that starts sessions without filling a group. Some players also report that solo play requires an online connection.
