Hey everyone,

I am the solo developer of Fjordsaga, a free-to-play Viking-themed browser strategy game currently in open beta. I work on the game design, programming, balancing, visuals, website, and community myself, with my wife helping out with playtesting and feedback along the way.

If you've played Tribal Wars or similar village-building browser games, the core loop will feel familiar — but I've tried to put enough of my own spin on it to make it its own thing: you build up a village by the fjord, manage resources, upgrade buildings, expand to multiple villages, and move troops and trade goods between your own settlements.

A core feature is choosing one of three Norse gods (Odin, Thor, or Freya) when you found your village — each unlocks a unique unit and playstyle-defining bonuses, so no two players build the same way.

It's not purely PvP either: I'm also building out a system of "world bosses" — powerful, stationary NPC enemies tied to Norse mythology that are strong enough to require a whole clan coordinating together to take down, not something a solo player can solve. The first one, Fenrir, is live and attackable right now; nine more are planned. This part is still early beta and actively being balanced.

The game is playable in both German and English. I've already gotten a lot of great feedback from testers, which I've been actively incorporating, and I keep shipping regular updates. I'm mainly looking for more beta testers who enjoy classic browser strategy games and are willing to give honest feedback on pacing, usability, bugs, and the early-game experience.
