Tribes of Midgard is a game genre that we have not seen very often lately and miss. Nowadays, since many games are based on competition, games played as PvE and Co-op have started to become rare. It is precisely for this reason that Tribes of Midgard-style games have become much more valuable than they normally would be. Because even though competitive games are today’s meta, these types of games can still be missed.
Protecting the village and the arrival of the giants
Pros:
- Having various weapons and classes
- Good hitting feeling, comfortable gameplay
- Craft system is simple and effective
Missing:
- Despite its colorful world, the sense of discovery quickly disappears
- The game is very repetitive
- Imbalances between classes played
Tribes of Midgard is a game where you protect your tribe against giants and evil beings who regularly try to destroy your village every evening. The game basically has a very simple story and there is not much plot. That’s why Tribes of Midgard is the kind of game where you can sit down once in a while and say “I’ll throw 2-3 hands of Midgard”. You may not say that, as an average game takes at least 1 hour.
The initial Phase of the game starts out similar to most survival games. From scratch and with no equipment. The game asks you to prepare enough to spend the first night and protect your village at first. This situation can usually be avoided by simply picking up stones, branches, pebbles, etc., and using starter weapons such as swords and arrows. The really pompous part begins when a giant lands on earth. After the 2nd day, a random one of 4 different types of giants lands in your world and the game asks you to prepare against the giant.
The most basic ways to prepare against giants are simply as follows:
- Increasing the level of NPCs
- Improving the equipment you have
- Building walls and archer towers for easier exploration at night
- Building mines, lumberjacks, etc. for passive material income
To attempt these improvements, you must first kill a lot of creatures, collect souls and improve your level. After killing creatures and getting your first level, you can choose one of 8 different classes (many of which can be unlocked when certain conditions are met) and continue where you left off. Collecting souls is the main source of development. All your upgrades consume souls and if you die, you lose all your souls. That’s why you have to play carefully.
Materials such as stone, iron and wood are very important in the game. Therefore, in addition to constantly collecting these materials, it is necessary to build places such as quarries and woodcutters near the village and earn a passive material income. Of course, the in-game currency spirit, which you need most to be able to do these, comes into play. Many activities you do in the game (cutting trees, cutting creatures, breaking mines, etc.) give you soul. Of course, you have to decide which class you will prefer, as your level will increase while performing such activities.
Advanced stages and the process of getting used to the game
Tribes of midgard has been really entertaining for a while. However, due to the nature of the game, the fun leaves its place to the boredom of repeating itself. In the game, you can only advance forever by protecting the village and fighting against the titans. Technically, there is no end to the game. In general, the game ends whenever you want. Because when you kill the first giant, a portal opens where you can get the rewards of your progress up to that time and exit.
Playing the game forever is of course an option, but knowingly when you play the game, you get all the upgrades you can get around the 10th day and around the 14th day, you literally have nothing to do. Your only activity is to cut down the giants that come in the classic way and protect the villages. Therefore, playing the game forever is an option, but it can be said that the game is stuck or finished somewhere.
Gameplay modes of the game are divided into survival and saga mode. Saga mode can be called the story mode of the game in a way. The only difference from survival mode is that advancing to infinity is not an option here. Usually, after completing your Saga mod-specific quests, you have to sneak out of the portal immediately, otherwise when you reach day 14, it’s night forever and you really have to protect the village as if there is no tomorrow.
So is it worth fighting against giants?
Pros:
- Norse mythology and the fun of fighting giants
- Not having to play constantly
- Introducing PvE experience, which is no longer common nowadays
Cons:
- Repeating itself a lot after a while
- Tasks to be done etc. things go fast
Although Tribes of Midgard is generally very enjoyable when you play alone, it is much more enjoyable when you have a circle of friends you can play with as you can increase the person limit in a section to 10 people in the game. It is true that when you play the game for a long time, it causes a fainting feeling, which consists of repeating itself. But the game has not been released for a long time and the developer team is taking good care of the game.
The progress of the game is in the form of seasons, and in the intermediate seasons, etc. Things are constantly changing. Of course, there are extra activities as well. Therefore, even if you are bored by playing all the time, when you re-enter the game after a while, you are likely to encounter many new things.
