Did the game designers intend it as this, or did you see it as this? Because I don't think people who just want to build and showcase buildings see it as this.

It is quite literally the games description. Here, I'll quote it for you:

A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!
