Viking Vending

A trading game in which you inherit a shop in a cozy little harbor. Items are bought at the harbor from various people who sell you more or less useful goods, including weapons, food, and everyday items such as horseshoes and rolling pins. Their value is determined by several factors, including rarity, condition, and appearance, while some information remains hidden until you improve your skills or upgrade individual workstations you can access.

Viking Vending takes an unconventional approach to Norse-inspired gaming by replacing the familiar themes of warfare and conquest with the challenges of operating a thriving trading business. Developed and published by FatFishGame, the game casts players as the owner of a humble harbor shop that serves Vikings returning from their adventures.

This distinctive premise immediately gives the game its own personality, offering a refreshing blend of management simulation, trading strategy, and light fantasy elements. At the center of the experience is an engaging economic loop that rewards careful planning rather than fast reflexes. Raiders regularly bring back weapons, armor, relics, and magical treasures that can be purchased for resale. However, simply placing every item on display is rarely the best strategy. Some equipment can be repaired to increase its worth, while mysterious relics require identification before their true value becomes clear. Enchantments add another layer of depth by allowing ordina…
