How co-op works

Online co-op for one to four players running a Viking tavern together, splitting duties between hunting mythical beasts for ingredients and coordinating kitchen service during chaotic rushes.

About this game

Meadgard challenges players to open and operate a Viking tavern under the watchful eyes of Norse gods. Teams of up to four hunt mystical creatures across rugged landscapes to gather rare ingredients, then return to prepare meals and pour mead for rowdy patrons who demand fast service and potent drinks. When the tavern runs dry or guests grow angry, divine punishment looms.

The loop alternates between outdoor hunts and indoor kitchen chaos. Combat and resource gathering feed directly into cooking stations where coordination and quick reflexes keep orders moving. Patrons arrive in waves, each with preferences and tempers that shift based on what you serve and how quickly it arrives. Mistakes pile up fast when communication breaks down.

Successful shifts unlock new recipes, equipment upgrades, and tougher creature hunts. Each session tests how well the team balances exploration, combat efficiency, and kitchen workflow under mounting pressure. The blend of cooperative hunting and frantic service creates a rhythm that rewards groups who can adapt roles on the fly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can run the tavern together?

Meadgard supports 1-4 players in online co-op. You can tackle the hunting and cooking chaos solo or team up with up to three friends to split the workload between gathering ingredients and serving patrons.

Do we need voice chat to coordinate effectively?

While not strictly required, voice communication is highly recommended. The game involves quick decisions between hunting runs and kitchen service, and coordinating who handles which orders or ingredients becomes much smoother when you can call out tasks in real time.

What happens if we mess up too many orders or run out of mead?

When patrons grow too angry or the tavern runs dry, you face punishment from the Norse gods themselves. The game escalates the consequences of poor service, so keeping up with demand and managing your mead supply is critical to survival.

Is the hunting combat simple, or does it require skill to gather ingredients?

You hunt mystical creatures across rugged landscapes to gather rare ingredients, and combat efficiency directly impacts your kitchen prep. The loop is designed so both the outdoor hunts and indoor cooking require coordination and quick reflexes, meaning sloppy hunting makes the service rush even harder.
