Every level is a new map, a new challenge, and a new set of roguelike perks. By day: build your base, set up defenses, grow your village. By night: take direct control of your Viking hero and lead your army into battle. Each level is a new map to conquer. By day, gather resources, handle base building, and set up tower defense around your village and castle. When night falls, take direct control of your Viking hero and command your army in real-time strategy combat as enemy waves attack. Master both halves of the loop (castle defense by day, hero-led battle by night) to push deeper into the Nine Realms. What keeps every run fresh: • Roguelike perks and temporary boosts reshape each level and each run. No two playthroughs are the same. • Built as an offline game. Play the campaign without a connection. • No forced ads, no interruptions mid-battle. Unlock new heroes, weapons, and gear as you progress, each with unique abilities and its own playstyle. The story: the Jotun (ancient giants and sworn enemies of the gods) have seized the Nine Realms. Rooted in Norse mythology, your quest is to rebuild your lands as a Viking commander and hold the line before Ragnarok arrives. Key features • Tower defense (TD) and base defense with tactical RTS control • Base building. Grow and upgrade your village and castle • Castle defense by day, direct hero control and army command by night • Real-time strategy combat against waves of enemies • Roguelike perk system for high replay value • Unlock multiple heroes, plus weapons and gear with unique abilities • Designed for offline play • No forced ads • A Norse mythology world: the Jotun, the Nine Realms, and Ragnarok Quick questions: Can I play offline?

I really enjoy your game. I would like to suggest adding Brazilian Portuguese localization. There are many Brazilian players who would love to play the game in their native language, and it would make the game much more accessible. Thank you for your great work, and I hope you will consider this suggestion! **Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion, we will consider it :) ### 5/5 — Great Tower defence game *2026-08-05* Good progression, great map layouts and even better graphics! **Developer response:** Appreciate the kind words, enjoy the game! ### 5/5 — Très cool *2026-08-03* Sympa Stategic et Addict **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Idea since you’re still in beta *2026-08-02* Love the idea but the pvp is kinda confusing i dont see how theres any competition to it. My idea/solution: pvp same idea building your village up round by round but 2 minute turns to decide what to build, round starts screen widens you see both villages, goal defeat other village first with strategy some using tower heavy strats to defend and some with more troops to overwhelm the enemy, just a idea tho from consumer to developer🙌🏻god bless most success🙏🏼 **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words and feedback, this kind of PVP is the only option for a studio of our size and for the amount of players we have. ### 4/5 — Super jeu *2026-08-02* Super jeu,le gameplay est vraiment cool néanmoins les troupes sont plutôt mal équilibrés,en effet appart les troupes de base que l’on obtient dès le début du jeu,les autres sont plutôt nul et inutile. Un bouton pour annuler une construction pendant la nuit en cas d’erreur serait aussi appréciable. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Actually the crossbow and javelin soldiers are pretty strong against large enemies. The berserker and stone thrower could perhaps use a small buff. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-01* Best game I’ve played on mobile in a while. Super addictive and good to grind, lots of stuff to do. I think it would be really cool if the tower placements and options were up to the players so we can build our own strategies and have a little more freedom. I know this comes with balancing issues but i think it can really help replayability. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. It's something we tested when first making the game, but it wasn't very fun, things started to get ugly ! ### 5/5 — My new favorite game *2026-07-31* This game is so addicting if you enjoy tower defense games. It’s simple, unique, and challenges you to try harder levels. The blessings system during each level is personally one of my favorite parts that I really enjoy. Highly recommend playing it. **Developer response:** Thank you A LOT for the kind words! ### 5/5 — How is this not more popular? *2026-07-30* You know those mini game ads you play where you run as the hero around killing stuff, then you install the game and find its 99% a base building game with minimal actual hero control and fun? This is the exact opposite. The base building is picking what to build to survive the next round. That’s it, then you start rampaging around trying to save the base. How you play, spec your hero etc depends on how well your base survives the waves. Too much focus on economy, you can’t be everywhere at once and you lose that income for the round. Too much focus on troops and towers, your income isn’t enough to scale with the waves. The level of pragmatism requires to get through the stages is very high and it adds a very fun dynamic to it. No forced ads, simple graphics and fun. 11/10, really fun. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review, we're glad you see how great this gameplay loop is! Let's hope the algorithm picks up on it :) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-26* Good **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and for playing our game! ### 5/5 — Top *2026-07-25* Top vraiment **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! ## Frequently asked questions about Viking Hero TD ### What is Viking Hero TD: Roguelike RTS about?
