NORSE: Oath of Blood Gameplay

Image

NORSE: Oath of Blood lets players lead a warband through a blend of strategic settlement management and turn-based tactical combat. Campaign flow revolves around exploring the world map, triggering missions, and returning to your settlement to craft and equip gear, manage villagers, and grow your Viking stronghold. Combats play out on a grid where positioning, terrain, unit synergy, and environmental hazards can turn the tide of battle, rewarding careful planning and smart sequencing.

Battles are tightly focused on small squads, with each warrior offering unique abilities and strategic value. Beyond the battlefield, decisions about diplomacy, resource allocation, and building development shape your journey. This keeps the loop of preparation, engagement, and recovery feel meaningful without overwhelming players with excessive detail.

NORSE: Oath of Blood Story Plot

NORSE: Oath of Blood centers on Gunnar’s rise from loss to leadership in Viking-Age Norway. After the violent overthrow of his father, Jarl Gripr, at the hands of Steinarr Far-Spear, Gunnar is driven from his homeland and left to gather allies, rebuild his strength, and challenge the man who claimed his birthright.

Set in the unforgiving fjords and forests of Viking‑Age Norway, Gunnar’s journey begins with loss and betrayal, evolving into a relentless quest to rebuild his scattered people, reclaim honor, and pursue vengeance across a land full of rival clans and shifting loyalties.
