About this game

Hammer of the Gods is a turn-based strategy game set in a world shaped by the Viking view of the gods. Players compete to earn the favor of the Norse gods and become the Hammer of the Gods, with glorious death and personal honor playing important roles alongside conquest.

Players can raid coastal villages, conquer cities, connect settlements with roads, and build castles for protection. The route to victory depends on the chosen family: Human, Elf, Troll, or Dwarf. Completing Odin's quest can establish the player as his chosen leader on Midgard and secure a place in legend.
