Northern Tale 4

Northern Tale 4 is a time management game, the forth in the series, where you will have to help the brave King Ragnar defend his lands from invaders once again.

In order to better understand the story, you need to know about Ragnar. As a young warrior, Ragnar defeated an evil witch and imprisoned her into an eternal prison. Once he was proclaimed king, he had to fight an evil dragon and with the help of four neighbor kings, he defeated the beast. Ragnar wed his four daughters to the kings and the Northern Realm was at peace.

After many years, when Ragnar was old, an emissary came in behalf of his youngest daughter, the beautiful Spring carrying bad news. An evil army invaded the North, an army formed of giants, black knights and evil witches. These monstrous creatures used their magic powers to cause havoc and destruction.

Ragnar decided to gather his army and defeat the evil forces that threatened to kill the Vikings. Using a magical horn, he called all warriors to battle and after building a great and mighty ship they set sail towards the enemy. Unfortunately a great storm destroyed the ship and all the Viking warriors were thrown in the depths of the sea.

A powerful underwater creature took pity on the Vikings and granted them the ability to breath underwater. This is where things get really interesting. If in the first three games of the series the action only took place on the surface, this time, your management skills will be required in order to conquer the underwater kingdom.

There are different resources players will have to collect in order to get rid of the monstrous totems and evil stones that plague the North. Money can be gathered from mines and gold boulders, food can be gathered from trees and farms, building materials can be mined or can be acquired from the workshop. All the resources can also be collected from tree stumps/underwater shells.

The four game in the Northern Tale series improves the story about Ragnar and his mighty Viking warriors and even more brings something new to the gameplay. Fans of time management will definitely be thrilled while playing this game.
