What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose to enter Early Access to refine the user experience and interface with the help of players. While the game is near completion, we believe player feedback will help in polishing the final product and improving the overall experience. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate the game will remain in Early Access until the end of 2025. This timeline allows us to incorporate community feedback and make the necessary refinements for a polished final release. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay experience but will undergo refinements in user interface, user experience, and onboarding. We plan to enhance the tutorial and flow between game modes to ensure a smoother introduction for new players. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes the features described in the Game's "About This" section, so please refer to that for details. While the foundation is solid, we plan to work on refining usability, improving onboarding for new players, and enhancing the overall user interface. ”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not plan to change the price after the Early Access period. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

About This Game

Hnefatafl Online:

A Deeply Strategic Online Board Game

Game Description:

Hnefatafl Online, also known as Viking Chess, is an asymmetrical board game where players engage in battle as either attackers or defenders.

This ancient board game, beloved by Vikings a thousand years ago, has been resurrected in the modern era to offer real-time online competition across multiple platforms. Enjoy a deeply strategic board game experience through online battles.

Local Matches:

After an online match concludes, you can resume the interrupted local match from where you left off. Embrace the ancient strategies as if you were a Viking, engaging with players in a historic battle of wits.
