Enter the raw and untamed beauty of Dark Age Norway in NORSE: Oath of Blood, a turn-based tactical game plunging players into the heart of the Viking Age. Embark on an epic quest for vengeance as Gunnar, a young warrior whose destiny is forged in blood and betrayal.

Build a settlement from the ground up, gather allies from all corners, and train a formidable war band to stand with you. Every decision shapes the world around Gunnar as he navigates a landscape rife with peril and opportunity. Face rival clans, forge unbreakable bonds, and overcome enemies in turn-based tactical battles that test players’ strategic prowess.

Unforgettable characters and a gripping story make NORSE: Oath of Blood more than just a tactics game—it’s a playable historical epic. Every moment is an adventure in a world where honor, loyalty, and vengeance reign supreme.
