ASKA – Viking Survival Game with Deep Village Management & Co-op Adventure

ASKA – A Deeply Immersive Viking Survival Experience

ASKA, developed by Sand Sailor Studio and published by Thunderful Publishing, invites players into a rich, atmospheric Viking world where survival, leadership, and legacy are at the core of the experience. Whether you’re forging ahead solo or teaming up with up to three friends, ASKA combines the thrill of survival with intelligent village management and rich world-building.

Build, Lead, Survive

From the moment you claim your first plot of land, ASKA tasks you with shaping the fate of your Viking tribe. The game’s core loop revolves around constructing a thriving settlement, assigning roles to intelligent NPC villagers, and defending your community from external threats — both natural and supernatural. Every structure you build, from forges to fortresses, contributes to your village's efficiency and sustainability.

A Living, Breathing World

What sets ASKA apart is its dynamic village simulation. NPC villagers are more than background characters — they have needs, daily schedules, and unique strengths that affect your community’s growth. Watching your tribe evolve, and seeing personal stories unfold, brings a layer of emotional investment that’s rare in survival games. The sense of camaraderie is palpable, especially during long winters or sudden attacks.

Lead Your People to Glory

Strategic planning is vital. Assign villagers to become blacksmiths, hunters, or warriors, and train them accordingly. Each role has meaningful impact — a skilled hunter may be the difference between starvation and survival when winter sets in. Managing resources, assigning tasks, and preparing for the unknown are essential to your tribe’s endurance.

Challenge the Mystical and the Merciless

ASKA doesn’t just test your logistical mind — it challenges your combat skills. From the cursed Blood Moon to frostbitten winters, you'll face the brutal beauty of Norse mythology brought to life. Combat is skill-based and satisfying, pitting you against legendary creatures and dark forces. As you grow stronger, build runestones to unlock powerful tribe enhancements and magic-infused upgrades.

Rich Customization and Exploration

With procedurally generated maps, there’s always something new to discover — hidden caves, ancient landmarks, and valuable resources scattered across the land. Personalize your village with crafted furniture, dyes, and decorative elements to make your settlement feel truly yours. ASKA balances form and function masterfully.

ASKA feels like the evolution of survival-crafting games. It blends strategy, storytelling, and mythological combat into a deeply rewarding experience. The intelligent NPCs, co-op functionality, and emotional weight behind every leadership decision make it one of the most promising Viking-themed games on the horizon.
