Expeditions: Viking Announced - Sequel to Historical RPG Expeditions: Conquistador

Copenhagen, Denmark -- May 20th, 2015 -- Danish indie developer Logic Artists today announced they have begun development on the second installment in their historical RPG Expeditions series, Expeditions: Viking. Set in the late 700’s A.D., Expeditions: Viking is a tactical RPG where players inherit the leadership of their clan and are charged with elevating their clan’s status by adventuring in far away lands and defending their home from their enemies both foreign and domestic.

With the announcement, Logic Artists has also revealed some details about the game. Building from the original designs of their first game Expeditions: Conquistador the Logic Artists team have also taken player suggestions to heart. Announcing that the Expeditions Sequel will have an upgradable player village which they must return to between expeditionary raids to build and protect. Over-land travel and combat will now exist as part of the same layer. Transitioning from unrestricted exploratory movement to turn-based combat smoothly. Additionally players will see their player character manifested in the game world not just as a Role-playing character for conversations and decision making (As was in the first of the Expeditions Series), but also visibly represented in travel and combat as a custom character.

“We are very excited to return to our roots in the RPG genre, and as developers from the Nordic region, to make a game in a setting that is a lot closer to home than anything we've done before”, said Jonas Wæver, Creative Director for Logic Artists.“We're improving on the Conquistador formula with deeper and more dynamic systems for character progression, combat abilities, role-playing, choice and consequence, and expanding on our favorite part of Conquistador: camping and wilderness survival”.

Expeditions: Viking is a Historically-themed RPG set in the Viking Age. As the new leader of a humble clan of farmers and fighters players must adventure into the unknown lands to the west to raid and/or trade their way to wealth, fame and glory. Will you rewrite history as a peaceful and benevolent trader? Or pave your road to Valhalla with the treasures and bones of your fallen enemies? Experience choice and consequence as never before in the much awaited addition to the Expeditions Series, Expeditions: Viking.

I liked Conquistador at first but after a while the grind started getting to me. If they address that in Vikings I will probably give it a shot.

Me too but I couldn't get to the 2nd part to the game as I ran into a show stopper bug. As I left one island to start the adventure on the next island it froze and no matter what I did I couldn't get past it. I didn't want to start over because of the grind you talk about so it just got uninstalled. I'll keep my eye on Vikings though.

This is cheap on the summer sale but Im still torn. Looking for something under $10 and I CANNOT waste any money. I love overhead party based RPGs...but I dont want another action rpg liek Diablo right now. Is this turn based combat like xcom or just simply real time?

So any thoughts after all this time? Back in the day I heard nothing but good stuff on Expeditions: Conquistador and got it ...and hated it.

But Ive watched some lets play videos on this one and it looks like a totally different style of playing. I like how it starts with the clan matters and such. Is this one good?
