Overview

Tribal Trouble: Resurrected is a free-to-play real-time strategy game that brings back the classic tribal warfare with a fresh coat of paint. Developed by Ryan Linehan and Omar Mokhtar, and published by Stray Software, this title launched on Steam on October 15, 2026.

The premise is delightfully absurd: a gang of Viking raiders, after a particularly heavy celebration, gets lost at sea and ends up stranded on a remote tropical island chain. The locals, naturally, are not thrilled.

You can choose to play as either the Natives or the Vikings, each with their own campaign and playstyle.

Highlights

  • Free Forever: The complete game is available at no cost, with no paywalls or pay-to-win mechanics. Everything is accessible from the start.
  • Two Original Campaigns: Experience the story from both sides—pillage as the troublesome Vikings or defend your home as the Natives. Each campaign offers a unique perspective on the conflict.
  • 12-Player Online Multiplayer: Take the battle online with up to 12 players in chaotic PvP matches. The larger maps and increased chaos promise a more dynamic RTS experience than the original.

Who It's For

If you're a fan of classic RTS games like Age of Empires or Warcraft III, but want something lighter and more accessible, this is a great fit. The free-to-play model means you can jump in without any financial commitment.

It's also perfect for players who enjoy asymmetric factions—Vikings and Natives play differently, offering replayability. Whether you prefer single-player campaigns or competitive online matches, there's something here for you.
