Tribes of Midgard

The house defended Yggdrasil across 2021-2022 for two years, peaking at 523 viewers for Tribes of Midgard, Norsfell's Viking survival roguelike. The July 2021 launch had StreamerHouse gathering resources, building defenses, and fighting giants in 10-player co-op sessions before Ragnarok destroyed everything. The streams appreciated the genre mashup—action-RPG meets survival meets tower defense meets roguelike—but highlighted the core frustration that dying yielded almost zero meta-progression besides cosmetics. Two years of coverage showed a game with "wonderful visuals" and "fun combat" held back by unrewarding death and poor stranger cooperation. The house documented a roguelike that worked brilliantly with friends but fell apart with randoms, proving that co-op design can make or break genre experiments.
