The story of Lost Viking: Kingdom of Women
Lost Viking: Kingdom of Women takes the settings of the Middle Ages' Eastern Europe world. In the 9th century, there is a tribe of Vikings venture by boats through the inland to find their new settling place. The leader of this expenditure is Ragnald - the wisest and also the greatest warrior of the Vikings.
Exploring with his wife and children, Ragnald leads his companions to search for a promising land with peace, clean water, vegetation and animal abundant. He also has the help of his trusty wolf friends, hoping for the best and peaceful journey.
However, things suddenly turn sour, as his crew has fallen into an ambush. Specifically, the women in the Kingdom of Women has trapped the Vikings, as they don't want to let men inside their territory. Hence, they've captured all women and children and ruthlessly killed all men - except one - Ragnald.
Even though he luckily survived the ambush with the help of Yaga, Ragnald doesn't have much strength left. The last scene he saw after losing consciousness was that his wife - Tove and his children were taken away with other captives. Waking up on the bank of the river, Ragnald can only rely on Yaga now to survive and find his way to his beloved ones.
From having nearly no clues on where are the attackers and the captives, Ragnald starts his adventure in this exotic, wild and dangerous lands. Fortunately, Yaga is very useful as he saves the Viking leader from many deadly scenes, such as wild animals attacks and hunting for foods.
One man and one wolf will have against the severity of the weather, hostile animals, food insufficient and disease. If that's not terrible enough, you'll also have to encounter the hostile tribes full of women as well. You can already tell that it will not be a normal village, but find out what's really special about it later!
Gameplay features
Lost Viking: Kingdom of Women is a survival adventure game, in which you'll step in the shoes of Ragnald to survive and search for his wife and children. In this low-fi 3D world, you'll have to precisely manage your resources: time, foods, waters and energy to get to the village and rescue your beloved ones.
To be more specific, the game requires you to do many tasks to survive in this hostile area. First of all, the game doesn't have any maps or navigation, so you'll have to use your own way of navigating to discover this exotic world.
There, you'll have to stay alive first by finding foods, water and build temporary shelters to stay safe over the night. Hunting wild animals might not be a difficult task for a Viking, but you will also have to flee from some dangerous creatures as well, such as bears, poisonous mosquitos and vermins, and the most dangerous ones - people.
Don't worry, since you'll have chances of revenge later. Using your crafting skills, you can create a lot of equipment and weapons to help you get over dangerous places. From crafting a fishing trap to stream fishing, you can create more weapons to deal with the inhabitants.
And don't forget that you have a trusty companion - Yaga on your side as well. You can order the wolf to hunt, investigating and tracking down the danger lurking around.
In the end, you'll find the mystery behind the women's village, and it's going to be out of your imagination.
