ViCrew RPG Overview

A dose of good old low-poly graphic style, a band of Vikings traversing procedurally generated maps, a turn-based combat system, and five distinct classes to choose from for your raids. These are the core elements of the roguelite ViCrew, developed by Matthias Denk.

ViCrew RPG Roguelite Overview

Assemble a crew of four fearless Norse warriors, choosing from five distinct classes, including Warriors, Archers, and Druids, each bringing unique abilities to the battlefield. With procedurally generated maps, you navigate treacherous waters by ship, explore islands brimming with treasures and challenges, and master the combat system to plunder your way to glory or death, permadeath.

Beyond combat, ViCrew emphasizes survival and resource management. Sell your hard-earned loot to stock up on food and gear for your crew or risk being unprepared for tougher missions. With a progression system that lets you level up your Vikings, the game keeps you striving for greater power and wealth. ViCrew is in development and is expected during Q1 2025 on PC via Steam, but in the meantime, you can give the demo a try. Below is an overview, screens, and trailer.
