RaiderHeim

About the Game

🔥⚔️ Developer Note — Post-Event Update ⚔️🔥

We’ve just returned from PlayIT Budapest, and your support was incredible!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, played the latest build, and shared kind words and feedback.

A new batch of screenshots and gameplay footage are on the way –  the first Closed Test is coming soon, if you feel the vibe hop on the opportunity. We will share details later on our socials sites.
If you resonate with the world of RaiderHeim, follow the Steam page – and help us grow this brave young community as we prepare the first playable demo.

🔥⚔️ Raiderheim awaits. ⚔️🔥

Endless war and chaos spread across the realms.

The once-proud clans now fight dishonorably for what little remains, while Viking warriors fallen in ancient battles march once more under the banner of the Dark Kingdom, spreading plague and death across the land.

Villages burn out of mercy, bridges collapse, yet the armies of the plague march relentlessly on.

Still, one name echoes from the Norns — Raiderheim, the last camp of the living.

In this dark Viking survival action RPG, fight in epic battles and explore the cruel wilderness, the ruins of cities, and the remnants of fallen kingdoms.

Uncover a dark saga through ancient codices and rune stones scattered across sacred sites, where you and your companion may rest for the night.

Search the wilderness, trade with survivors, and fight brutal battles against both the undead and the living in a corrupted world inspired by Viking mythology and and the legacy of dark (medieval) survival epics.

Can you reach Raiderheim — humanity’s last burning campfire — and join the Brotherhood?

🩸 Key Features 🩸

• Large-Scale Battles
  
  
  Epic, large-scale conflicts unfold between human warbands, beasts, and the undead. Join the fray, manipulate the outcome, or vanish into the fog and let chaos consume the field.

• Brutal Combat
  
  
  Real-time, tactical hack-and-slash combat awaits you with tons of loot as a reward – but you must choose your opponents wisely.
  There is no magic potion to restore your health instantly.

  Wounds attract enemies and beasts, and healing takes time, making every encounter tense and strategic.

• Survive Through Action
  
  
  Hunt, trade, and scavenge to survive the cold, the hunger, the wounds, and the foggy, hostile nights.
  Forge weapons, shelters, medicine, and consumables to endure the journey.

• Explore a Dying Realm
  
  
  Wander semi-procedural wilds, swamps, ruins, and other regions shaped by day–night cycles and dynamic weather.
  Each discovery rewards exploration points and lore fragments.

• Storytelling
  
  
  Meet NPCs with their own motives and self-interest – some will help, but others may betray you.
  Unravel a saga inspired by Viking myth, set in a world bleeding through its darkest times.

⚔️ Playable Cast ⚔️

• The Hunter – The shadow warrior of the wilderness.
  A master survivor skilled in traps, disguise, and ranged combat. Agile and cunning, the Hunter can evolve to tame wild beasts or command the raw forces of nature.

• The Raider – A brute-force, Viking-born berserker.
  Less tactical but unstoppable, confronting foes head-on and enduring wounds no other could.
  Wielding devastating two-handed weapons, the Raider becomes a raging force on the battlefield – one no man should dare challenge.

• Other character classes are currently in development and will be revealed in future updates.

🌑 Visuals & Tone 🌑

• A stylized, semi-realistic top-down  third person view drenched in atmosphere – dynamic volumetric fog, shadows, and lights of day and night cycles, with advanced weather effects that immerse you in this dying realm, where the warmth of a campfire feels like home.
  Every sound, every flicker of light, is designed to pull you deeper into this grim and dark world.

All footage and screenshots presented here are captured directly from the first playable builds.


Everything shown is real-time and fully in-game, with no filters or post-processing applied.


Visuals are subject to updates before the first public demo reaches you.

⚒️ Current Status ⚒️

RaiderHeim has reached its first playable state, and development now turns toward player testing and feedback.

A public demo is coming soon, followed by a closed beta for the bravest and earliest supporters – those who have wishlisted, joined the community, and stood with the Brotherhood.

Visuals remain in an early stage, as the focus so far has been on forging the gameplay core, combat systems, and the foundations of the world itself.
