Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok – Vikings, Chaos, and a Hint of Ragnarök If Vampire Survivors and Norse mythology collided in an epic battle, the result would be Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok . 🪓 This roguelike combines intense survival combat with tactical build optimization and an atmosphere that would make Odin proud. But is it truly the ultimate Viking experience or more of a drinking binge gone awry? Story Forget epic tales—this is about sheer survival! You choose from a growing roster of Norse heroes , battle against waves of monsters , and strive to stay alive as long as possible. Along the way, you unlock new abilities, experiment with various builds, and hope your inner Viking is strong enough to withstand Ragnarök. 🔹 Dark Norse Fantasy – The world looks like it was ripped straight from a saga book. 🔹 Roguelike Progression – Each death brings you closer to your next perfect run. 🔹 Endless Chaos – Hordes of enemies, power-ups, and rune enchantments ensure no two games are alike. Whether you ascend to Valhalla or go down like a wet rag—it’s all up to you. Strengths and Weaknesses ✔️ Norse Mythology Meets Addictive Gameplay – Perfect for fans of gods, axe fights, and endless monster slaying. ✔️ Motivating Progression System – Each run pushes you forward without feeling like you’re hitting a wall. ✔️ Diverse Builds – Combine various abilities to discover which combination slays best. ✔️ Active Developers – New content, balancing changes, and even the removal of unnecessarily grindy achievements—the devs truly listen to the community! ❌ Occasionally Chaotic and Overwhelming – When everything explodes and enemies come from all sides, it’s easy to lose track. Stay alert or perish. ❌ Steep Learning Curve – Those unwilling to sacrifice some early runs for Odin’s glory will suffer initially. ❌ Hordes Everywhere – If you’re not careful, you’ll be overrun faster than a village in a Viking raid. ✔️ Recommended for / ❌ Not Recommended for ✔️ Fans of roguelikes with a Norse flair. ✔️ Players who enjoy optimizing builds and creating their own overpowered war machines. ✔️ Those who’ve always wondered if they could survive Ragnarök. ❌ Players who prefer slow, strategic gameplay. ❌ Individuals with a phobia of enemy hordes. ❌ Anyone seeking a relaxed, stress-free Viking life —here, there’s only chaos. Achievements The achievements range from “Spend gold 25 times” to “Die 25 times” . Notably, the developers remove unnecessarily grindy achievements, showing that they truly listen to the community . Want the full collection? Just mow down everything that moves. 🪓 My Opinion Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok is a brutal, addictive, and incredibly entertaining roguelike that’s perfect for fans of Norse mythology and chaotic gameplay. It already boasts a wealth of content, and with active developers, the chances are high that it will get even better . Scientific Estimate: My playtime is based on countless “just one more run” moments that eventually led to an existential crisis.

A fully recommended action-roguelike with many interesting skills & characters to unlock.

Nov. 2024

I recommend but with some caveats. I really enjoy the overall gameplay, where it's fun to boot up the game on my Steam Deck and zone out while playing the game. Some of the characters are really cool, with my favorite one being the merchant whose health is a shared resource with the gold you pick up. It really makes you think about when to buy items vs. saving money to be able to have enough damage / health to survive. The main criticism is that the runs feel very similar, most of the enemies are the same (with different skins), relics are often repeated (especially at the start of a run), and bosses often have invulnerability windows to draw out the fight. The game is feeling really drawn out, but there's a lot here to chip away at over a long period of time. I'd probably buy any DLCs that come out because I do enjoy a lot of the core experience. Wishlist / Random thoughts: - I wish there was a way to customize runs without feeling like you take a disadvantage from gaining the meta-resource. - The Ragnarok mode doesn't really add enough variety to the levels other than "make it harder" - More Easter Eggs / Discoverability / Exploration things would be cool - A hero meta-level up catch-up mechanic would be much appreciated to cut down some of the grind - A "turbo" mode would be cool -- my runs typically take 20+ minutes. - A more intense 10-15 minute mode would be neat. Something that requires you to be really strategic with the places you go on the map as maybe you'd struggle to get to all the landmarks before hitting a boss. - Boss rush?? 🤔

One of the best Survivor games out there! I own at least 15 games in this genre including (of course) Vampire Survivors, Nordic Ashes does not simply repeat the VS formula. It makes several changes and, for me, the most important being - it rewards skill and strategy to a far greater degree than most others including VS. Excellent in game upgrade tree and rewarding permanent upgrade tree. Grinding is there but you feel like you are getting somewhere. Excellent game play balance and well thought out. 9/10. In my top five games along with: Vampire Survivors Rogue Genesia, Army Of Ruin Greedland Deep Rock Galactic Survivors (Would be up there but not enough content yet).

April 2024

Highly Recommended. This is my favourite traditional style bullet heaven game to date. The only game that falls in this genre that I like more is Brotato but I feel that game is different enough from the genre as a whole that its largely its own thing. As a game clearly trying to be like Vampire Survivors, 20 Minutes Till Daw, Halls of Torment and many others...this is best version of that. Its hard to really explain why...I just think this hits that mostly mindless zen state game play with meaningful progression and yet offers enough engagement and choice to not get boring. Hours slip away playing this game like they would playing Diablo for example. I think the progression trees between runs are deceptively well made. The ultimate unlocks for them have a HUGE impact that you really feel even if on the surface you might not realise why. I really like how this game has familiar feeling runs rather than chaos of other games in the genre...here you typically have a go to build that you can then expand from rather than other games where you largely go with the flow of RNG. Great game. Admittedly it starts out off putting. I don't care for the art style of this game and those first couple of runs are GLACIAL in pace...it gives a pretty negative first impression but you really do slowly build from there to something that's a lot more fun.
