Commanders may now come with one of thirteen small, passive buffs – so more than ever you will need to work with what you have and each run will be more unique. Maximize their efficiency by choosing items & upgrades which synergize well with your traits.

Achieving victory on certain islands will allow you to unlock Starting Items and Starting Traits. These can be selected for your initial 2 Commanders when starting a new game.

Even your pikes will struggle to deal with these swift, dual-wielding Vikings, who will prove a challenge even to experienced commanders.

Checkpoint Islands will give you a reset point, acting as a safety net for when your campaign reaches a tragic conclusion. You can also opt out of the “Iron Man” behaviour of the game by enabling Replayable Levels on a new campaign.

If more casual is not what you’re looking for, we’ve also added an unlockable Very Hard difficulty for those who are up to the challenge.

Choose the look of your commanders, and equip them with Starting Items & Traits if you’ve unlocked any.

Jotunn Edition also features several new commander looks.
