{"title":"Games Farm","description":"\u003cp\u003eGames Farm is an independent studio headquartered in Košice, Slovakia, and one of the longest-running names in Slovak game development. Its story began in 2001, when a group of friends who shared a passion for video games came together to build their first title, the isometric action RPG Kult: Heretic Kingdoms, which reached players in 2004 and planted the seed of a franchise the studio still tends today. Early on the team operated under the name 3D People before settling on Games Farm, and shortly after that debut it turned to the skies with Air Conflicts, an arcade-style series of World War I and II combat flight games that grew across the 2010s in partnership with publisher bitComposer Games: Air Conflicts: Secret Wars arrived in 2011 on Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers followed in December 2012, and Air Conflicts: Vietnam rounded out the run before the first two were brought to Nintendo Switch in March 2019. Throughout this stretch the studio also co-developed projects with other developers and publishers across a range of genres and platforms, building the cross-platform experience that defines its work now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe studio returned to its roots in November 2014 with Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, an isometric action RPG published by bitComposer that picked up the Kult storyline a decade on, then began a long partnership with Kalypso Media that produced Vikings: Wolves of Midgard in 2017, a Norse-mythology action RPG for PC and consoles, and Shadows: Awakening, which reworked and continued the Heretic Kingdoms saga on Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Those years brought recognition at home and abroad, including a GameStop best indie game award and Slovak Game of the Year honors in both 2017 and 2018. The company is led by CEO and creative director Peter Nagy, a central figure in the Slovak scene with more than two decades in the industry and collaborations with partners such as Activision, Ubisoft, Valve and Funcom, alongside art director Michal Macák, who joined in 2008 after leading character work at 10Tacle Studios and Pyro Studios, and programming director Jan Turan. Now more than 50 people strong with over 20 released titles, Games Farm continues to develop premium games for PC and consoles, most recently the Norse-themed Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel. For players, the studio's catalog is a reliable home for hands-on, loot-driven action RPGs with a distinctly Central European flavor, and Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is the place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vikings-wolves-of-midgard-pc-download","title":"Vikings: Wolves of Midgard","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eVikings: Wolves of Midgard drops you into a Norse world on the edge of Ragnarok, where the Fire and Frost Giants are joining their armies and the only thing standing in their way is a clan of exiles. Games Farm's action RPG blends the history and mythology of the Vikings with a dark fantasy twist: isometric hack and slash combat, a progression system built on blood sacrifice, and a winter so harsh that the cold itself will kill you if you linger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRagnarok Comes to Midgard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegend says that when the coldest winter descends, the Jotan will return to take their vengeance on the Gods of Asgard. That winter is here. The Ulfung, the Wolves of Midgard, are a notorious band of ostracized Viking warriors, bloodied but unbowed after the destruction of their village. As the new clan chief, you rebuild what was lost, rally the survivors, and spearhead the charge against the fiendish creatures of the Fimbulwinter before Midgard is annihilated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay as a fierce Viking warrior or a merciless shieldmaiden and travel beyond earthly Midgard into freezing Niflheim and boiling Balheim, facing dire wolves, undead hordes, goblins, giants and the beasts of Ragnarok along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBlood for the Gods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery enemy you cut down leaves blood behind, and blood is what the gods want. Collect it from the fallen and carry it back to the altar, where sacrificing it earns gifts from the Gods that enhance your powers. It is the heart of the game's progression, and it turns each raid into a tribute run: the more you kill, the more you have to offer, and the stronger the Wolves grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePower-infused amulets\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eEquip talismans tied to the gods themselves, like the Talismans of Thor or Loki, to make their abilities your own. Swapping amulets reshapes how your chief fights, so it pays to experiment.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eTrials of the Gods\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePut your new skills to the test in dedicated challenges that push your build against the toughest the realms have to offer.

Decapitations and dismemberment are common, and the arenas fill with the remains of everything you have fought. Mastery comes from committing to your weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect your skills with each weapon type to unlock its true potential. Swords, axes and hammers, bows for keeping the Jotan at range, and spell-powered canes for those who prefer sorcery to steel all have their own path to master.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivate Rage Mode and let your anger take hold. For a short window your chief becomes a berserker, overwhelming packs of enemies in bloodthirsty combat when a fight turns against you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix and match talismans, weapon skills and gifts from the gods to build a warrior or shieldmaiden that suits how you like to fight, then refine it as harder realms demand more of you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Cold Is Coming for You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deadly Fimbulwinter is not scenery. Out in the frozen realms, exposure builds the longer you stay in the open, and nature's wrath will wear your chief down as surely as any giant. Survival means reading the map for warmth and shelter, moving between fires with purpose, and choosing when to push on and when to fall back. It gives the exploration a tension that most action RPGs never attempt, and the contrast with Balheim's heat and the swamps of the undead keeps every realm feeling distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Wolves Hunt Better Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole journey to the Shores of Midgard can be shared. Team up with a friend in two player online co-op, or fight side by side on one screen, and divide the clan's work between you: one of you wading in with an axe while the other rains arrows from the ridge. Four difficulty levels let you tune the challenge to your skills and talents, and for those who want the Fimbulwinter at its most unforgiving, there is the unrelenting hardcore mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wolves are cold, they are hungry, and they will stop at nothing to survive. Take up the chief's mantle, gather blood for the altar, and lead the Ulfung into the winter that ends the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kalypso Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39218506828,"sku":"PC_10602586508_DL_GL","price":7.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/3268\/files\/card-vikings-wolves-of-midgard-pc-mac-linux-steam-game.jpg?v=1790117809"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pjsgames.com\/collections\/games-farm.oembed","provider":"PJ's Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
