About Sons of Valhalla
Sons of Valhalla combines side-scrolling combat with roguelike strategy and base building in a beautiful pixel-art Viking Age world. You play as Thorald Olavson, a warrior hell-bent on tracking down the Jarl who burned down his home, kidnapped his beloved, and fled to distant England.Raise a warband and personally lead your troops in a grand saga of vengeance as the gods themselves watch over you.Across the North Sea, far from home, hunting your nemesis down will take resources, soldiers, and strategic thinking. Manage limited funds as you choose your path down the English countryside, battling, besieging, and bargaining for equipment as you call for reinforcements from home, leaving a trail of corpses in your wake.
- Branching paths lie before you as a raging storm chases your band from the north. Travel from town to town to seek out merchants, mercenaries, and violence – from epic sieges to skirmishes on open fields.
- Double back, skip past, and revisit locations as your plans call for it – in Sons of Valhalla, points of interest on the map aren’t locked to you because you’ve already marched past them! Will you return to an armorer that sold powerful equipment that you couldn’t yet afford? Perhaps the local castle may be beyond your strength when you first arrive, but with clever maneuvering, you can add to your forces and return later? As the storm slowly envelops the land, distant towns may become unreachable – choose your advance wisely.
- Resources earned on the battlefield can be used to purchase equipment, upgrade your troops, and even build structures and siege engines to aid in your efforts. Set aside, these same resources can be used at the various merchants to further your capabilities beyond any single engagement. Plan how you use your limited supplies with care, or see a quick end to your invasion.
- Recruit a wide array of troops to fight by your side – from basic swordsmen and archers to unique champions such as combat blacksmiths and shieldmaidens, each comes with their own strengths and weaknesses. Success in battle comes from using the right troops for the right situation. Will you utilize the shaman for their healing powers to keep your troops fighting for longer, or is the rapid swinging of the berserker more your speed?
- Command your troops to overcome evolving situations on the battlefield – order them to fall in line behind you, to charge forward, to retreat, or to form the impregnable shield wall when under a hail of arrows. Quick thinking, positioning, and army composition all play a major role in battle.
- Break through the enemy shield wall and cut them down with your own blade or become a master of the bow and spear as you destroy your enemy from a distance. Purchase powerful equipment to aid you on the battlefield and down flasks of mead to maintain your fortitude as you stand with your men, protect their retreats, and lead their assaults.

Do want to play Kingdom, but wanted more mechanics and control over individual units plus get into the fight yourself? Well have I got a game for you. There are a lot of upgrade paths to go down in the campaign (there are 3 modes) and a lot of different runes to suit different playstyles. Personally, the charge arrow was kind of where things got a lot easier. Boost your health, damage, and all of your secondary gear. There are lot of rewards, so if you're lucky and get a treasure boosting one early on, you might be able to afford all of the different buffs. Which helps out a LOT in the final bosses. Story gets a little out there at the end, but it does kind of make sense that Odin would give you the job to begin with. Then you get hit with a 'to be continued'. Which is not a great start for thing kind of game. If they already have the funding for it and it's in development, great. The escape mode I played all of 5 minutes of. You play as the wife who is....escaping. I had no interest in it. I was there for the Kingdom-like mode. Then there's the endless mode which features what looks like one of the villains of the campaign. Personally not into it. Don't even know what …2 found this helpful
After playing HOURS of KIngdom series, I liked how this looked, nice style. I read reviews and thought "it wouldnt be the first "Mixed" game i like. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this a boring gameplay loop. I will refund even tho it was just 5eu..1 found this helpful
I only say yes because it seems like they are still making active updates and hotfixes. The game itself has a lot of potential. It integrates base building and rouge-like scaling which is a new concept for me. But the enemy NPCs bug out really easily which sometimes trivializes fights. The game also crashes fairly frequently. I played through the main campaign and despite the bugs and crashing, I was still compelled enough to play it to the end, so it is fun.... But the other campaign crashed immediately and I had been fed up at that point. The gameplay itself suffers from highly repetitive fight styles and base building. Nothing much changes, the real interest comes from the boss fights. Unfortunately the 2nd boss fight is the hardest due to annoying mechanics, the last boss fight was an actual joke. The story wasn't really compelling and the voice acting was noticeably not good. Some permanent upgrades to structures would go a long way. But base building was from the ground up each time and felt tiring.1 found this helpful
Great game. I loved it. It’s like this: clone of kingdom two crowns, with more combat abilities and troops. Simple fun, loved it.1 found this helpful
Honestly, game is decent until you face the bishop boss. That one is such an uninteresting slog...1 found this helpful
Good Game! Simple and fun!
