Transcript
00:00In the unforgiving lands of Aska, you'll struggle to survive without the help of your tribe.
00:22Meeting your basic needs is essential.
00:24Foraging keeps hunger and thirst at bay, and surviving the night might be possible by building
00:29a simple camp.
00:30But this won't be enough to protect you from the dangers lurking in these lands.
00:40After being shipwrecked on this mysterious shore, it's up to you to reunite your lost
00:45tribe and carve out a new home.
00:49The gods have blessed you with the Eye of Odin, a beacon powered by Jotun blood that
00:55calls out to other Vikings.
00:58Aska is a survival game where you're never alone.
01:01You decide who joins your tribe, so choose with care.
01:06Villagers are here to support your leadership style.
01:09Whether you prefer getting your hands dirty in the soil or in the throes of battle, your
01:14tribe will assist you.
01:16Feel free to explore while your tribe tends to the village, or stay within the safety
01:20of the community to build and harvest, and let the tribe fight off any threats.
01:29Primitive camps are enough to provide shelter for a few members of your tribe, but just
01:33like yourself, your villagers have other needs.
01:36If you don't make sure they're fed, warm, and safe, they will abandon the tribe or perish.
01:48As their leader, your villagers look to you for guidance.
01:52Villagers will automatically start building when they join you.
01:55Each member of the tribe has their own traits, strengths, and weaknesses.
01:59It's up to you to decide what work they're best suited for and how they can best support
02:04the tribe.
02:05Take Bjorn, for example, who prefers to work during daylight hours, so they may be better
02:10suited for farm work.
02:12Make sure they are assigned to tend crops in the blazing sun, and they'll be happy.
02:18Freya, on the other hand, is a night owl.
02:20Long nights don't faze them, making them a good candidate for guard duty.
02:25As leader, you choose their patrol route to make sure the village is well defended.
02:33The lands of Aska are wild, and the will of the gods is fickle.
02:40Without the right preparation and planning, your hard-earned progress can easily be reduced
02:44to dust.
02:54Should you fall in battle, Valhalla will not welcome you into the afterlife.
02:58Instead, death grants the difficult choice of either being reborn in a weakened body,
03:03or to be revived with full strength by sacrificing a valued member of your tribe.
03:09To overcome the greatest challenges, you'll need to advance buildings and techniques to
03:14better equip and protect your villagers.
03:18And don't forget to tame fierce beasts to use for protection, or companionship.
03:31The world of Aska is filled with godlike promise and menace.
03:37Alone you are destined to fail, but together with your tribe, and should you choose to,
03:43seek the aid of other players, you can overcome whatever trials the gods set in your path,
03:50and forge ahead to uncover the secrets of these untamed lands.
04:02Aska is coming to Steam on the 20th of June, 2024.
