![]() There’s a short tutorial, which you can see above, though it leaves a great many things unexplained for you to discover on your own. How you deal with these threats, and how you carve up your daily tasks, is the fun of Tribes of Midgard. ![]() Lumbering and massive giants, these Jötnarr slowly make their way to your village, Hel-bent on destroying your small slice of the World Tree. Perhaps you’ll be strong enough to recover it, but I’d suggest bringing backup, lest those resources and equipment be lost to the ages.Īs you work to shore up defenses you’ll eventually be notified that a Jötnarr is approaching. Similarly, any resource you have collected are dropped right there in a box. You gather souls with every resource you collect and every kill, but if you are killed in the field, those souls are lost. Gates, arrow towers, and walls will stop those Helthings, but you have bigger problems.Įverything you do in Tribes of Midgard runs on souls. ![]() Surviving the night leaves you a scant few hours to explore, gather resources, and try to build up defenses for your little berg.

With all of that rolled into one, you’d expect it’d be lesser for it, but somehow it works.

In the Völsunga Saga, a 13th century epic about Sigurd’s killing of the dragon Fafnir says “Fear not death, for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it” - words to live, and die by.
