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 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. Show less

I recommend this game!

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. Show less

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.

I recommend 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!

I recommend this 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 ...Show more

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!

I recommend this game!

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 ...Show more

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. Show less

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.

I recommend this game!
