What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“ASKA is a systems heavy game set in a procedurally generated world, where AI villagers carry out a huge range of tasks across combat, crafting, building, farming, resource harvesting and navigation. Hundreds of systems interact over long gameplay loops that can run tens or even hundreds of hours, so every playthrough evolves differently, and Early Access lets players experience the whole system as it's being built. We're a studio of nine, and with our publisher Thunderful, Early Access has let us grow the game alongside our community, shipping things they asked for, like Seafaring, multiple new biomes, custom games and dedicated servers. It also keeps the team and the project funded as we keep going.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to continue into next year as we keep building out the game's systems and content. Since entering Early Access, we have released regular major updates and will continue to make ongoing reviews and adjustments based on community feedback to ensure the game evolves in line with community expectations and desires.”

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

“Since launch, we have delivered several major content updates, including Seaborne Raiders, which introduced longships and naval exploration, and Animal Husbandry, update which added taming animals and more. We have additional content planned before Full Launch, and we will also continue listening to player feedback and providing smaller updates on a regular basis. Outside of these, we will also continue listening to player feedback and providing smaller updates on a regular basis.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version has grown substantially since our initial alpha release, with 12 major updates delivered so far, expanding everything from naval exploration to entirely new production chains like beekeeping and mead brewing. Our community keeps growing, and their feedback and suggestions continue to shape how ASKA develops. Each major update has focused on improving stability alongside new content, and we continue to prioritize performance and reliability, particularly for larger settlements and multiplayer sessions, as ongoing areas of investment.”

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

“The price has not changed since the Early Access launch. As with most Early Access titles, the game price may increase once at Full Launch. Any increase would be proportional to the extra work and content added during the course of Early Access. ”

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

“We have multiple dedicated community spaces, including Discord and the Steam forums, where we regularly interact with our community. This feedback has directly shaped features such as World Generation options and naval exploration. We will continue to use these spaces throughout the remainder of Early Access to learn from our players and shape the game into the best quality experience that we can.”

About This Game

BUILD, LEAD, SURVIVE

In ASKA, build and sustain a powerful Viking tribe where you and your villagers work, craft, hunt, and fight together. Command intelligent NPC villagers, guiding them through the challenges of survival in a harsh and dangerous world. Play solo or with up to three friends and forge your legend.

BUILD AND CUSTOMISE YOUR OWN VIKING SETTLEMENT

Design and construct every aspect of your village - from homes and workshops to altars and fortifications. Each structure serves a purpose, contributing to the functionality and defence of your thriving community.

A LIVING, BREATHING VILLAGE

Construct and live within your village. Build, work, and fight alongside your tribe, witnessing & managing your villagers’ daily schedules. Villagers require food, water, & rest as well as having their individual needs and strengths based on their perks. Witness their individual stories unfold as they contribute to the settlement's growth and resilience. You’re not just building a base; you’re nurturing a living community.

LEAD YOUR TRIBE

Assign roles and train villagers in various skills, whether in battle or their chosen vocation. Developing skilled blacksmiths will benefit the tribe with tools and weapons, while proficient hunters will be able to explore further into the world gathering additional resources to feed them more effectively. Strategic planning will enhance your tribe's efficiency and preparedness for external threats.

PREPARE FOR WAR - AND HARSH WINTERS

A wise leader prepares for battle even in peaceful times. In these mystical lands, you must be prepared for the challenges of the Blood Moon, and as winter sets in be ready to face the freeze and prevent your tribe from succumbing to the cold, harsh environment. Seek out dark forces scattered throughout the lands and build powerful runestones to improve your tribe and village. Will you be ready?
