Step into the rugged, untamed beauty of dark age Norway in Norse, 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. Penned by award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author Giles Kristian, Norse brings a rich, historically immersive narrative to life. With unforgettable characters and a gripping narrative, every moment is an adventure in a world where honor, loyalty, and revenge reign supreme. Will players guide Gunnar to victory and restore his father’s legacy, or will the treachery of Steinarr Far-Spear mark the end of his saga? The fate of Gunnar’s people rests in his hands.
