Wished I had their energy
Never played a game like this before. Played the demo and was hooked. Bought it and finished it. If you can multi-task, then this game is for you.

Great Fun Vikings, Spiders, Ghosts Oh My!
I have tried Time Management demos before but there seemed to be too much going on that I lost interest. I read the Big Fish reviews on this game and thought I would give this one a try. I was hooked about twenty minutes into the demo. I had a free game coupon and purchased it. What a wonderful game. It?s so addictive, fun, and who won't want to help King Ragnar save his kingdom and his daughters from the evil witch.
The graphic's in Northern Tale were impressive. Lots of things blowing up. Those Vikings can sure run fast, work non-stop and eat alot. I was getting tired watching them. I laughed when they danced and got a kick out of their funny murmurings. Get a repair completed and an ugly wasteland becomes a beautiful forest full of color.
I guess I can add Time Management/Strategy games to my game list and will be looking for more in the future.
Thanks to all the fishies for their great reviews as I depend on them when trying out a game.

cute,fun, better so far than some other TM games
TM game with a twist. very colorful. gives the option to turn off the voices and still hear sound and music. The characters voices, I find, as irritating in other TM games. we shall see how challenging it gets as I play more.

love the difficulty levels
I played through on the untimed and really enjoyed it. I am now playing on the multiple clicks (medium level. It is even better. I wish My Kingdom for a Princess III had these choices. I would buy them all. Kudos to the developer for listening to we older or challenged players. Thank you, Big Fish!

same northern lights
I do love those games more than anything but somehow the graphics are not as detailed as in some other games. That makes it not the most addictive thing out there. Other than the story, there is really nothing new here. Gather your resorces, build or fix the farm etc. I will buy it but I really would like to see another Dash game.

Addictive Little Vikings!
I must confess that I was disappointed in this game after I bought it. Yet I kept going back to play it some more. It seemed kind of like a grind game, as there was always something in your way to your goal. The power ups were changing all the time. I wasn't sure which ones to use when, but I hate it when I can't beat a game, so I kept going back & playing levels over & over & realized I was hooked! Sneaky vikings! I can't really say why I like this game. You are basically doing the same things over & over, but there is strategy involved, in which obstacle to remove first, what to build first & what power ups to use. I bought it & I still play it off & on between other games. My only down side was the small size of things.

Fun TM game
I enjoyed this game. It is very similar to MKFTP series, Roads to Rome series in that you build and repair a kingdom, in this game a Viking kingdom as you look to free your 3 daughters. I like the option to multiclick so you can queue tasks.
My one con with the game is that the 'storms' or whatever they are cause lights to flash across the game screen. I found it hard on my eyes and started to feel a bit sick as I worked through chapter 1, so I now play this game for just a couple of levels and then stop for a while. Not sure if this could be a concern for people who have epilepsy or migraines.
I hope that there will also be a Southern, Western, and Eastern Tale in the future minus the flashing storms.
An enjoyable TM/building game that I will play again.
