Survivors of Ragnarök
French Rice Games | Released Aug 20, 2011
Survivors of Ragnarök is a city-building-management-survival game about chickens.
Explore
Lead your company of dwarfs into high mountain passes, deep into dangerous forests, scorching deserts, and into the dark underbelly of the earth and back.
Raiders of Ragnarok
It's adventure mode with a cooler name. Reclaim your fortress, venture into the wilderness, explore other settlements, and delve into depe dungeons in search of rare and valuable artifacts in THE BEST rogue-like-platformer-rpg yet to be made.
Unique and Quirky Creatures
Encounter Bizarre and dangerous creatures from dwarf-eating-tiger-snails, flying pigs, bishop-fishes, and Chickthulhu (100% our idea and totally not suggested by an annoying community member named Thoktaz).
Yeah we know, it's awesome.
Gotta Catch 'em All!
Unlock dozens of unique dwarfs only to die by your hands moments later.
Single Player Campaign
With all the dry humor, charm, wit, and satire you've come to expect from us bundled in an epic historically accurate retelling of the events after everyone's favorite end of the world scenario (next to the zombie-apocalypse, but trust me we have that covered). Expect to be taking part in such epic and grand historical battles such as the Battle of Basing and the Battle of Svolder.
Bellow we have provided a historically accurate depiction of the Battle of Clontarf on April 23, 1024 (your gonna have to trust us on this one guys, it's legit).
Beautiful Hand-Drawn Pixel Art
Now this might just be our personal bias, but we believe we have some pretty sweet pixel art. Each and every pixel lovingly hand-drawn and animated frame by frame.

Latest News: Survivors of Ragnarök - Killing Bugs (Alpha 26)
5 comments by Tastyrice on Feb 21st, 2013
Zap! Zap! Zap! Here at French Rice Games one of our many jobs is to bring you bug fixes for unfinished games that need a lot of work in a relatively late manner. We could give you some boring details about life and only being being developed by two individuals who both are full-time students and have part time jobs... but we won’t bore you with all those boring bits. We’ll simply just copy and paste some wonderful patch notes you guys might find entertaining and continue on with development.
- Added New tree that is part of the plant system.
- Fixed Plants growth better managed.
- Fixed Aggressive mob pathfinding.
- Fixed Aggressive mob graphical glitches.
Alongside some minor bug fixes we are gearing up our combat system for use with equipment. Here’s what we have in mind.
SoR Stat System
Base Stats:
- Vitality (health, ammount of food and sleep needed)
- Strength (damage, and a few jobs.)
- Endurance(base armor, length of time a dwarf can be starving or tired)
- Willpower(Magical skill and defence)
- Agility (Critical Hits, Acuracy and speed, some jobs)
- Luck
These start out randomly between 10 and 15.
50% of the Exp given for every other task(skill usage) will be given to the Dwarfs main level.
The Dwarfs main level take 3x to 5x as much Exp to level up.
Base Stats increase with the dwarfs level, NOT by usage.
Base Stat Level Calculation: level = ((maxLevel + geneBonus + personalityBonus) /maxLevel)*dwarfLevel)
Static Values:
maxLevel = 1000
geneBonus = (0<->10)*20
personalityBonus = (100 if it is the dwarfs personality)
Personalities:
- Energetic - Vitality
- Hotheaded- Strength
- Stubborn- Endurance
- Reserved- Willpower
- Lively- Agility
- Perky- Luck
Each personality will increase a base stat improvement rate by about 10%.
Genetics:
Genes effect base stats by 0 to 10%.
A random value will be determined that will create a number between 0 and 5.
That value is the dwarfs gene for that particular stat.
The gene multiplied by 20 equals the bonus.
Skills:
- Gatherer
- Hunter
- Woodsman
- Miner
- Carpenter
- Smith
- StoneCutter
- Cook
- BrewMaster
- Tanner
- (Comming soon, skills for each weapon class and type)
Skills level with usage following the function: (4*(x^3))/5Genes that control this function may be added later.
Equiptment Slots:
- Head
- Neck
- Chest
- Ring (left hand)
- Ring (right hand)
- Right Hand
- Left Hand

Haven't been playing it for very long, but it is certainly amazing right now, despite being a bit buggy and lacking content! If you like the sims, minecraft, adorable pixel chickens, and dwarves who climb blocks like newborn kittens climb stairs, you will love this game!

FrenchRiceGames, I am disappoint D: This game is in development for almost one full year. The last updates added gimmicky nonsense like pumpkin patches and candy, rather than adding to the base of the game itself. Other games in a similar state of development offer much more actual gameplay and potential. (Project Zomboid, Towns, heck even Kenshi) Reading the update logs makes me feel like the developers don't even care about the game. I mean sure they pump in tons of self-made pixel art of things…

I, as well as many others would also do, advise no-one to buy this game until it is fixed to a playable standard. I know you are probably saying 'but it is an alpha game, stop complaining about a few bugs'. It is not a few bugs, it is lots of them and they are game breaking. If you must for some reason download it then only get the chicken edition, you can upgrade to a paid edition when you know for certain the game is playable. Do not make the mistake of handing your money over just yet, the less money they get the more chance the bugs shall be fixed unless they give up working on it full stop. Do not take the chance... You have been warned.
Poseidon's balls! You know when the right time to put in a 'mute music' option is? WHEN YOU FIRST ADD MUSIC TO THE GAME! Do you know how long it takes to implement? TEN FREAKING MINUTES! This game doesn't meet the basic expectations I have for even an alpha game. Hell, this game doesn't meet my expectations of a blank .txt document. I literally programmed a better game than this while typing this comment.
I took a risk and bought it but I wish I never did now. My people will not move and i cannot even click on them. When I click the ground to be dug up it just disappears no matter where I press... I have basically bought a static game, please please fix and update this game.
I feel sorry for the people who bought the valkyrie edition, unless they are actually being prioritised and being updated whilst the people who bought the settler edition, as I did, must wait a year for a fix. The chicken edition will no doubt remain broken forever.
The valkyrie edition is like 5 updates ahead of settlers and settlers is like 3 ahead of chicken so... valkyrie guys get quite more better stuff. Still broken though
Does this game still get updated, I cant even find anything on this one. The devs are sure quiet and im thus not investing in this one.
I keep watching this game with interest but everytime I look there is barely an update. Once there is something sorted with the crashing and something to make it at least playable I will buy it. Don't get me wrong here, I do expect bugs in an alpha game but bugs that makes a game unplayable should be patched asap. More development on the game could mean more support and once I see regular patches being made it shall be on my play list.
Looks like they released alpha 25 yesterday but forgot to post the PC version of it on here.
Incredibly buggy, it's not even the crashes, it's that the AI is the stupidest thing I've ever seen and everything gets stuck after a few minutes. It's not even that I lose, just nothing interesting happens... We need like a thousand updates, currently unplayable
I'm in the same boat... no updates for over a month so I'm not sure...
