You need to plug Souls into the HP of your village's Yggdrasil tree, the bit of town enemies are actually attacking. Souls are probably the most important resource in the game. Katharine: Personally I think Tribes Of Midgard's biggest problem right now is its Souls economy. Trouble is, days just aren't long enough for you to settle in, gather resources, or make any significant progress before night comes and you have to return to base. There's a night and day cycle here, where the day is a fairly chill time for exploration. Your home base is battered by nasty monsters every night, gradually increasing in bigness and badness, and you have to stop them waltzing in to destroy your town. I think the world and monsters are fun, but I just wish I had more time to soak it in. Metapohrically, because we hadn't built gates.Įd: I'm with Alice. We haven't even unlocked stones and a giant is basically battering down our gates here. I gave up after realising we were going to die before I’d mastered the art of placing down a single wooden ramp where I bloody well wanted it to go. Not that any of us actually figured out much of a use for building, apart from a ramp up the side of the cliff. Things don’t snap together very easily, though, which quickly turns even the simplest building endeavour into a bit of a headache. One of the things Tribes Of Midgard has, seemingly meant to set it apart from similar games, is the ability to build structures out of snapping parts, a bit like Valheim. Maybe I’d have noticed earlier if I hadn’t spent so much time failing to figure out how to build a simple ramp. There are some pretty cool skills there, too. I was half way through our second game before I discovered there are combat classes and skill trees I could have been using to give myself a fighting chance. Rather in the “Hah, let’s point and laugh at these people who don’t know the first thing about survival” way. Ollie: The question I’m left with is: does the game want us to get there? There's so much it doesn’t tell you, and not in the “You know the basics, now go out and discover things for yourself” way. But the question is: would you ever even get there? I really like the look of it, the monster design is great - properly epic - and you'd probably see very cool stuff with late game weapons and abilities. Alice Bee: I'm probably the most positive out of the group, in that I think this game could properly own if it didn't keep massively getting in its own way.
