What it is
Tribes of Midgard is a top-down survival action RPG for one to ten players set in a Norse-mythology world. By day you gather resources and craft weapons, armor, and defenses; by night waves of mythological enemies attack your base as you try to protect the seed of Yggdrasil and stave off Ragnarok. Combat is stylized and colorful, with melee and ranged fighting against creatures like trolls, dark elves, and giants rather than realistic gore. There is no sexual content, nudity, or strong language. The game can be played solo or in co-op online with others, including via voice and text chat, and it offers optional real-money cosmetic purchases.
How it's framed
The game frames the player as a heroic Viking Einherjar defending the world tree against an apocalyptic threat; violence is directed at mythological monsters and presented as adventurous, cooperative heroism rather than realistic or cruel.
