The first demo for Norse: Oath of Blood has been released for Steam Next Fest.

From Tripwire Interactive:

Step into the rugged, untamed beauty of dark age Norway in NORSE: Oath of Blood, a turn-based tactics game that plunges players into the heart of the Viking Age. Embark on an epic quest for vengeance as Gunnar, a young warrior whose destiny is forged in blood and betrayal. After the treacherous Steinarr Far-Spear murders his father, Jarl Gripr, and usurps his high seat, Gunnar's path is clear: rebuild, ally, and rise to reclaim honor and justice.

Craft a settlement from the ground up, gather allies from far and wide, and train a formidable warband to stand by his side. Every decision shapes the world around Gunnar, as he navigates a landscape teeming with both danger and opportunity. Face off against rival clans, forge unbreakable bonds, and outmaneuver his enemies in tactical, turn-based battles that test players' strategic prowess.

  • Tactical Turn-Based Combat: Command a warband in tactical skirmishes where positioning, terrain, and timing determine survival.
  • Settlement Building & Resource Management: Oversee Gunnar’s Viking village as it grows from a small camp into a thriving stronghold.
  • Character-Driven Narrative: Make impactful choices that influence relationships, shape alliances, and unfold the story of Gunnar as he restores his father’s legacy.
