Norse city builder Land of the Vikings looks like it could scratch your Banished itch

For those who like all things Viking, the city-builder survival sim Land of the Vikings might be right up your alley.

Launched in Early Access today on Steam for $19.99, the developers describe the game as Frostpunk with Vikings, but if you ask me, it also has a bit of a Banished vibe to it. And that’s a good thing because I love that game, and have been hoping for a sequel for ages..

In development at Laps Games and to be published by Iceberg Interactive, in Land of the Vikings, you are the Jarl of a new Viking village who must manage resources and survive harsh conditions, and enemy raids. You must do this while also guiding your fellow Vikings to work together through social conflict.
