    • Vinland: Artic Assault

      Hey guys!

      I've been watching Pewdiepie ever since he started his Hot Wheels let's play, and I finally made an account on the forums.

      I would like to introduce you guys to a fantastic indie game I found :)


      VINLAND ARTIC ASSAULT-

      (from Desura page)

      Join Leif Erikson, the intrepid explorer and help guide him and his
      crew to the fabled lands which would one day become known as Vinland.
      Hand-sculpted levels provide a dramatic backdrop to his voyage of
      discovery, delving ever deeper into the dangers of the unknown, fighting
      enemies both natural and mystical. To aid in this, there are a variety
      of weapons and navigators that can be collected during the journey,
      which allow the player to customise their vessel. The challenges to be
      faced during this expedition, range from battling through storms and
      blizzards, to defeating a witch and sneaking past the spirits of the
      dead. Then there is the ever present threat of the ice, the frozen death
      which lurks ever present in the seas of the North Atlantic. If Leif is
      going to survive the trip to Vinland then he will have to master both
      these silent predators but also his own fears and doubts recounted in a
      dramatic series of dialogues throughout the game.


      Features:

      Ships-

      In Arctic Assault, Leif has access to three different types of ship,
      which he will be able to access at any time. Each vessel has its own
      characteristics and traits, and will handle very differently from the
      others.
      For instance there is the Drakkar, which stands firmly in the middle
      ground between the two extremes of the other two vessels, the Drakkar is
      the typical Viking Longship, clinker built to become one of the most
      iconic aspects of the Viking era. They are constructed to be sturdy and
      swift, filling the niche for versatility left by the two more
      specialised ships. The Drakkar is the most customisable ship in Leif’s
      arsenal, being able to be outfitted for greater speed or greater
      toughness during his voyage, adaptable for any requirement.
      Powerful Weapons-

      Throughout his journey to Vinland, Leif will come across new weapons
      and equipment ranging from the common to the extraordinary, from the
      mythical to the magical. In order to overcome all the challenges in his
      way, Leif will need to seize upon the different strengths and weaknesses
      of each item, and discover clever ways of combining their traits to
      find powerful new techniques.
      During his travels, Leif could even uncover the legendary Mjolnir
      Hammer. Some believe this weapon to be mere myth, but it is well known
      that legend lives in part in reality and this holds especially true in
      the Viking mind. If Leif can find the mighty hammer of Thor, its magical
      abilities would prove a major asset in the struggle to Vinland. Mjolnir
      bounces between foes, unleashing a shower of energy each time it
      strikes.
      Navigators-

      Certain members of the crew can be promoted to becoming Leif’s 2nd
      in command, or the “Navigator” , theirs is the particular duty of being
      the one to guide Leif and the crew to their destiny. Each will adapt
      this role in a different manner, using their powerful personality to
      shape the crew’s action in different ways. It should be noted, that some
      characters will only accept the post on certain types of ship, some of
      them are just not suitable for work on a ship which is of a different
      persuasion to themselves.
      An example is, Leif’s younger brother, Thorvald accompanies his
      brother on the voyage. Where Leif is thoughtful and intelligent,
      Thorvald is energetic and reckless. This sense of dashing adventure
      inspires the crew to take risks they otherwise would not, trusting to
      Thorvald’s sixth sense to get them through safely.
