Aska is a Viking survival and village-building game from Sand Sailor Studio, released in Early Access in 2024. You and up to 12 friends wash ashore on a procedurally generated island and work together to build a thriving clan — chopping wood, farming, raising animals, crafting weapons and armor, and fending off nightly Helvetti raids from enemy Vikings and supernatural creatures.
What makes Aska distinctive is the village-as-NPC system: you can recruit AI villagers (called Karls) to handle the work you don't want to do. Job assignments persist between sessions, which means a well-staffed server world keeps producing resources while no human is online. Running a dedicated Aska server means those villagers stay on the clock 24/7 and your clan progresses while you're at work.
Aska is CPU-heavy once you have dozens of villagers simulating pathfinding and AI behavior — which is where our Ryzen 9 7950X3D nodes pull away from budget hosts. 10–12 GB RAM comfortably handles a full 13-player server with an active mid-game village. Every Aska instance we ship comes with the right server.json defaults, open ports, and a 7-day rolling backup schedule so a bad Helvetti raid never costs you more than a day's progress.
“Setup was instant. I was uploading my world within two minutes of checkout.”
“Latency from the EU node is under 30ms for my whole squad. Zero rubber-banding even on intense sessions.”
“Support actually knows the games. Had a config issue resolved in 20 minutes at 2am.”
“Backups saved a 200-hour save after a mod broke it. One-click restore, worth the plan by itself.”
“Panel is miles better than what I was on before. I don't even miss SFTP.”
“Switching between games without paying again is the feature I didn't know I needed.”
Aska officially supports up to 13 players in co-op. All our Aska plans support the full 13-slot capacity; the differences are RAM, CPU priority, and backup retention.
Yes — that's the main reason to run a dedicated Aska server. When the host's machine is offline, a dedicated server keeps the simulation running so your villagers continue chopping, farming, hunting, and crafting while you're away.
Vanilla Aska runs comfortably in 6 GB for small villages (under 20 villagers). Mid-game villages with 40+ villagers and extensive farming infrastructure benefit from 10–12 GB. The Pro plan handles end-game builds without tick slowdown.
No. Aska is currently PC-only on Steam. Console versions have not been announced on the current roadmap.
Raids scale to the village size and defensive structures, not to the number of online players. A dedicated server with active AI villagers will still receive raids overnight — the Karls defend the base. We recommend scheduled daily backups (included on all plans) so a catastrophic raid doesn't wipe hours of progress.
Modding support is limited in the current Early Access build. We provide full file access so you can drop in community mods as the scene matures. We'll add a one-click installer when an official mod workshop ships.
