Sons of Valhalla

Sons of Valhalla is a beautiful pixel art game that combines side-scrolling combat and building strategy in the Viking Age. You play as a warrior named Thorald Olafson. He is obsessed with finding the Earl who burned down his home, kidnapped his lover, and fled to distant England.

Gather warriors, build fortresses, and personally lead your troops in this epic saga of revenge.

After crossing the North Sea and finding yourself far from home, your first order of business is to build a fortress for the offensive. To defeat your sworn enemy, you will need resources, warriors, and strategic thinking. Develop your economy, build siege camps and training grounds, increase the number of your troops, and raid nearby villages to replenish resources and weaken your opponent.

• Build and upgrade buildings to gather resources and recruit warriors, as well as improve their skills and equipment. Turn your settlements into impregnable fortresses with well-armed troops and powerful siege weapons.
• As you move deeper into the country, build defensive structures: the enemy will not sit idly by in the face of your invasion, so conquered border towns will turn into battlefields. Mercenaries such as arsonists and hunters are available only in these cities and can turn the tide of battle.
• Resources are limited, so you need to plan your development in advance so that you have enough soldiers at any given time. It’s up to you to create a huge army of regular warriors or hire a small detachment of veterans to help pave the way forward. And don’t forget that archers behind stone walls will easily deal with even a large detachment of swordsmen if they are not armed with shields, and a lone shaman will quickly fall to the hands of infantry if left without reinforcements.

Control your warriors in battle with orders, as well as use special abilities and battle formations. However, remember that a true warrior does not hide behind others, so be ready to take up a sword and fight shoulder to shoulder with your men.

• Strengthen your army by hiring a variety of warriors: from regular swordsmen and archers to seasoned veterans such as battle blacksmiths and warriors. Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, so success in battle will depend on how suitable warriors you choose for each situation. Will you rely on the healing abilities of the Shamans to keep your army fighting longer, or do you prefer the fury of the Berserkers, who will quickly crush everything in their path?
• Give orders to your warriors according to the battle situation: they can line up behind you, rush forward, retreat, or put up a defensive wall that will protect them from a hail of arrows. Quick reactions, proper placement of forces, and a balanced army composition play an important role in every battle.
• Break through enemy shield walls and slash with your blade, or master your bow and spear to destroy your foes from a distance. Throw incendiary vials and cast powerful runes to inspire your troops to great deeds. Empty mead flasks to bolster your spirit as you fight alongside your warriors or cover their retreat. After a tough battle, while your comrades are recuperating in the strongholds, you can set out on a solo quest to find treasure and glory in battle.
