Great TM Game
This is along the lines of My Kingdom for the Princess,Island Tribe, Roads of Rome etc. You have the options to multi click and to play with no time limit. I personally love TM games and this is no exception. There are a few hidden things to find in the game, and you get little snippets of information about the Vikings. I bought the game before the trial was up as I enjoyed it so much. I have yet to pass the first chapter, but so far I have to say, that for me this game is great fun.

Too much fun
This is a really good TM game. Much like My Kingdom for the Princess. As you get further it gets harder, but you can replay each level to get the 3 stars. Try to find all hamsters, just a little bonus, just for fun. You can also use the extra bonuses that are available to you, such as speed, double resources etc.
You should plan ahead, look at the map and see what you should build first. It's also very funny looking at the vikings movements and what they have to say.
Just a fun, strategic game.

Very Enjoyable
I just love TM games when they have a relaxed mode. Being 67 yrs old I tend to move at a slower pace and this game is perfect. Scene's are clear and colorful.

LOVE THIS GAME!
Been waiting for a fun TM game. Sorta a mix of Roads To Rome and Kingdom for a Princess. Love the graphics and the gameplay. I don't usually leave a comment on games but I am having a BLAST!

5 Stars All the Way! Terrific TM Game!
This is a terrific TM game! I loved it. It is the same type of theme as My Kingdom for the Princess. If you loved that, you will love this one. You play a Viking King who upon his return from a raid finds that his 3 daughters have been kidnapped by an evil witch and his kingdom destroyed. You have to free all three of the daughters, who are named after the seasons. It is well written, with a great storyline, the graphics are fantastic. All in all, a terrific game. Highly recommend it!

Cute but nothing special
This is a Viking themed resource/worker game similar to the RoR and MKftP series. While charming with cute animations and characters, there is little to set this game apart. Fans of the genre may have a lot of fun with this addition.
Based on approximately 20 minutes of play:
- 3 modes of play (normal, multi-click and no time)
- no widescreen
- can replay levels to win up to 3 stars
- loading screen alternates between game tips and facts about Vikings
No complaints about what is offered. It's decent for this type of game but offers nothing interesting or innovative (beyond the multi-click option which I love).

LOVE a good Time Management game!
This is going to rank right up there with Royal Envoy, My Kingdom for the Princess etc. Set in Viking era, lots of interesting interactives on each level and a good solid storyline make this a winner.

These never get old
It's like Christmas morning when I open BFG to find a TM game like this as the new release. I bought this before I even played the trial and the only thing that disappoints me is that it's short. 45 levels to be exact (which is long enough to be worth the purchase!).
Great graphics, great story line, and the familiar sound effects we know and love with these games. Thanks, BFG!

Fun, Fast Paced . . . Great Game!
I purchased this game before even trying the demo. The developers always offer us great games.
-3 game levels to play
-The option to replay to get 3-stars
-Graphics are great
-Storyline is interesting
-Fast paced time management game that will keep you moving
-As with most games of this type, there is a little delay loaded each chapter
-If you enjoy games of this type, you will not be disappointed.

fun but some problems
I had some trouble running this game effectively; I had to change the cursor to the normal computer cursor to stop jiggy pointer syndrome, and run the whole game not at full screen to stop character staggering/ghosting which really was impossible to play with at full screen.
Once I did these things however, the game was enjoyable, so I did go right through the trial and bought it.
I'm a little unclear if I would recommend it to others with these kinds of problems (for some users - obviously not everyone has had problems). I don't get these issues with Roads to Rome or Legends of Atlantis.
