Picked this up over the weekend and not sure what to make of it.  It's certainly not what I thought it was going to be, a reskinned Age of Empires for the Switch.  Has more in common with Settlers if anything, as you can't directly control any of your units. Instead you build little Viking huts, halls, farms and mining structures and assign your people to them, as they plop out of your town centre.  I'll stick with it, because it offers some interesting new spins on the strategy field. Not least the elimination of the Zerg Rush.

Adjacent areas have to be colonised first ('bought' with your ever dwindling food supplies) before you can build structures on them. And troops can't be pumped out of buildings, you're limited to small warbands (plus a hero unit) who can be sent across the land, but only if your scouts have first explored the surrounding areas. But you don't have direct control over them either.

What saves it is the addition of seasons, something I've rarely seen, but always wanted, in a strategy game. During the Summer months the land is lush and green and your food supplies rocket. Then Winter descends, blizzards cover the land, your little Vikings start consuming more firewood and mead and suddenly your settlements start complaining. And everyone knows an unhappy Viking is an unproductive Viking.

Just plodding through the story campaign at the moment, having decided to trade with a neighbouring band of Kobolds rather than wipe them out (for now).  Have located an enemy hold, so going to build up my warband until its large enough to take 'em on.
