Totem Tribe II: Jotun (PC) Preview

There are huge problems with this game.  It has obviously been developed as a war game and is masquerading as an adventure/quest game.  There are huge discrepancies in player capabilities arising as a result of pay to play and experience that mean new players have absolutely no chance of progressing through any of the 'alternative win strategies'.  Basically if you do not team up with a large aggressive alliance at the very beginning you have no zero chance of finishing the game.  Weighting are hugely in favour of warlike behaviour and peaceful behaviour is massively penalised.  Played for about six months and decided it was a game with huge potential completely wasted by preoccupation with WAR!!!!!  Developers need to decide what their objective is.  Just another war game.  A waste of time!!!!
 

DO not believe the fake advert.Developer which goes by the name of berserker is absolutely pathetic.Never takes opinions of other players,does stupid updates that kill the game and then if you try to say something against it or disagree with developers - he bans your chat so you would keep quiet and learn to obey his orders like a slave.I am very saddened to say that this game will never be finished in 20 years if this keeps up.
And I bet this comment will be deleted as well,just because I am saying the harsh truth that "berserker" does not want to hear.
Its really sad,because the game is good and berserker is making it worse with his "balance" updates.

I am fairly new to this game. I like the variety of the game. There are multiple quests and puzzles to keep you entertain and some victories you can achieve. Some people have a hard time with the game, but I find that if you concentrate in just 1 hero Vs 5 its much easier to learn and adjust. There is a war component to the game as well as the the quests. People need to learn to defend their domain, or join an established clan. I have played solo since I started. I have gotten some attacks, but I read the reports and learn from them. I think some of the harsh comments come from people that are bitter of not having "their way". I think the developers have a vision and try to move towards as fast as they can, but no one works for free! and making a game and updates its work, so yes money is needed to pay those people that do just that. If people dont understand that, then they live in a bubble! 
I will continue to play and to donate  or "pay to  play" but its my choice to do so! I know many players that advance fairly quick and have great defence and do not spend a nickel in the game! It can be done, just need to play smart

Been playing for EIGHT years, with a few gaps.  Missed the first few alphas' joined in A4 or A5.
Berserker is an Indie developer with a small team and yet still manages to add new content regularly.  We finally made it to Beta in 2018 and no longer have server wipes, now each hero can be played for up to 150 days, if you don't go for one of the 3 victories first.
I am 57 years old Mum and came late to gaming, but after a year or so, I started to get the hang of things and even joined an alliance, then another alliance before settling on my current one.
We have a lot of older people play, game is about 70 Grandmothers, 20% parents and 10% others.
It doesn't need fast reflexes, like the stuff my kids play and while maths helps, it's not essential.  Over the years I've sometimes had issues with the game, but on the whole, it's a very engaging and interesting game.  During my gaps, I have looked for other games, but somehow, I always end up back here, I just can't find anything I like better.
