NORSE: Oath of Blood is an RPG and strategy game in which you take on the role of Gunnar, a young warrior forced into exile after his father, Jarl Gripr, is slain by the ruthless Steinarr Far-Spear. With his home destroyed and his people scattered, you guide Gunnar as he rebuilds his settlement, forges strategic alliances, and leads his warband on a relentless quest for vengeance.
Battles play out in turn-based combat where positioning, unit synergy, and terrain all matter, and you use elevation, flanking, and environmental hazards to gain the upper hand. Each warrior brings a unique skillset, so deploying them wisely lets you control the field and outsmart your foes, and you can recruit and train a variety of fighters with customizable gear and upgradeable abilities that broaden your tactical options.
Between fights you oversee your Viking village as it grows from a small camp into a thriving stronghold, assigning villagers to roles, managing resources, and upgrading buildings to unlock new units and equipment. Scavenging the wilds, trading with allies, and gathering key resources let you craft authentic weapons and armor and upgrade your smithy, armory, and workshops, all of which directly affect your combat strength and your village's resilience. Written with a strong narrative streak, this PC strategy RPG asks whether you can restore Gunnar's father's legacy.
