Everything We Know About Roots of Yggdrasil
Roots of Yggdrasil Story Plot
Welcome to Ragnarok’s afterparty. I’d tell you to have fun, but there’s much rebuilding and adventuring to do across the floating shards of the former Nine Realms. In Roots of Yggdrasil, you play as Sunna and her Viking tribe as they span the shattered roots of the World Tree on their magical floating longship, The Holt. Build settlements and power up Saplings across the broken landscape. Meet with Gods and Goddesses as you try to rebuild the world pieces left scattered about by Ragnarok. Prove that you and your tribe have what it takes to reach the top of Yggdrasil and be the caretakers of the new world.
Roots of Yggdrasil Gameplay
Roots of Yggdrasil is a roguelike deck builder/city builder game. You’ll be creating settlements using the building cards from your deck. However, the settlements would be in a race against time to avoid the Ginnungagap, a primordial, magical void that annihilates everything in its path. In true roguelike fashion, each failure will grant you better knowledge and gear for the next run. The Holt, your permanent home, serves as the game’s hub, where you could unlock new mechanics and upgrades to help you achieve your tribe’s goal of reaching the top of Yggdrasil.
