Tribal Trouble: Resurrected

Once upon a time, a gang of Viking raiders got so drunk celebrating their latest pillaging that they got lost on the high sea and stranded on a remote group of tropical islands. Here they chose to stay for a while, much to the annoyance of the local Natives.

Play as the Natives or the troublesome Vikings! Build up your tribe, defend your village, and raid your neighbors in this classic real-time strategy game. The trouble is back now with more chaos, larger maps, and up to 12 players online.

Simple to Play, Hard to Win
Tribal Trouble keeps things simple. The mechanics take minutes to learn. Gather resources, grow your tribe, send your warriors out to conquer the island. But winning? That takes more than knowing the rules. You'll need good strategy, smart use of the terrain, and a strong taste for causing trouble.

Coming in 1.0 (Summer 2026)
Archipelago + Boats - In the original, tribes were landlocked to one island per game. Now players can build boats and take to the seas to expand their tribe and find other treasures!

More features coming throughout development, driven by community feedback.

A Community Revival
Tribal Trouble: Resurrected is a community-driven revival of the beloved 2004 RTS from Oddlabs, brought back to life with the original developers' blessing. After the game was open-sourced in 2014, fans modernized and expanded it keeping the charm alive and free for everyone.
