Our take on Trollskog
Most quests and buildings in the early-access version take roughly 2–3 hours to complete, so the available content currently gives the game a limited scope.
What is Trollskog?
Trollskog is an open-world city-building and real-time strategy game set in a forest shaped by Swedish folklore.
Players found villages, grow a kingdom, and tailor each settlement to the resources in its surroundings. Magical beings and their towns inhabit the world, alongside non-player characters who may be allies or adversaries. Quests move the narrative forward and improve relations with forest creatures. Resources can be obtained by negotiating or by fighting. Decisions about production affect the weapons and abilities available to an army in tactical combat. The game is in early access, and the current build offers a brief experience: its available quests and buildings take roughly two to three hours to finish.
