The game, contrary to one of the most negative reviews, is NOT woke. It is also NOT Valheim, it is more similar to Gedonia. There are male and female sexes at character creation AND the subtypes of background you have available change on the basis of your sex and ethnic group (Norse or Sami). I believe both male and female can be farmer background but only female can be forager etc. The male vs female created character models have different hair styles and faces available to them. Update: I really am beginning to enjoy the RPG focused elements. The characters each tell a lot of information about the setting and lore. There are faction systems, various cultures within the game (Sami, Norse, German), and several progression trees to learn skills for your various forms. I'd say the single most annoying thing about the game is walking makes your character feel/look very slow. Also note: To understand what to do you have to READ what the NPCs say. This is not the easy-mode, modern 'RPG' with a bunch of highlights on the map. This review was mainly to correct the claims of the inaccurate and hypercritical one posted by a different Steam user in October 2025.

Interesting game with nordic theme. Fun shapeshifting mechanics, fighting and exploration in an intriguing world

A fun game with shapeshifting mechanics

I enjoyed it :D

First of, it's always difficult to recommend unfinished early access games, so I usually don't. But as someone who loves nordic history and folklore, I am biased. That said, if you can take this review for what it is, this simple little rpg is a wonderful take on the themes and source material used within. The gameplay loop as it is now, while simple (in terms of combat and interactions/activities), I would say is interesting enough to make it fun. I'm 8 hours (of light meandering) in, and it still feels like there's still a lot ahead, though time will tell how much of it may be gated behind future updates. Trying to figure out how to cleanse the lands while running around as a skin changer, exploring while running some errands, enjoying the sights and sounds, ... All wonderful. And while you can't *pet* the dog, very sad, you can *be* the dog. And that's almost makes up for it. The game of course still has that early access smell in certain areas, some polish in others. Kinda surprisingly, the norwegian translations are almost non-existant, instead using lines from the english version, but what's there seems well written so far. The devs seem to be active and responsive, and the…

This game has potential...But it needs to be more of itself and less of a ,,Valheim without building" sort of a game. It's still in early access....but it was like that for half a year and the basic fixes like corrected animations and lack of audio is still an issue that puts of while playing! I will come back to it in the future for sure, but I hope for it to be more of a playable environment and that it gets rid of Outward syndrome by then :/
