Cultures: Northland + 8th Wonder of the World
A 2015 RTS that resurrects the Viking-era Cultures formula, slow-burn settlement building with light combat, best played if you prefer spreadsheets over action.
GamerScout Verdict
A dated but genuinely deep settlement builder, worth trying if you value resource puzzles over production polish.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Cultures: Northland + 8th Wonder of the World
I've always had a soft spot for RTS games that treat base building as the main event rather than a prelude to skirmishes. Cultures: Northland is exactly that: a settlement sim with strategy bones, where you manage Vikings, resources, and construction queues across campaigns and sandbox modes. You're not micro-managing unit armies; you're deciding whether your Norse settlement gets a mill or a smithy next, and the game respects that slower rhythm. It includes the main campaign and the 8th Wonder expansion, giving you decent content volume for a budget title. The catch is production values and UI polish, it feels like a game from 2004 masquerading as 2015. No multiplayer that works reliably anymore, and the tutorial doesn't hold your hand much. If you're comfortable building civilisations at your own pace and don't need photorealistic graphics, the core loop is genuinely solid. For everyone else, expect a learning curve that's steep enough to frustrate casual players.
