Games development company Iron Gate AB and publisher Coffee Stain have announced that the new Viking game Valheim launched via Steam earlier this month has already sold over 1 million copies in just its first week. Valheim has received “Overwhelmingly Positive”reviews on steam from nearly 20,000 reviewers and offers 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! “
Key features of the Valheim game include :
– Huge procedurally-generated world – explore and inhabit mystical lands, from mysteriousforests to imposing snow-topped mountain ranges and stunning meadows, complete with their own creatures of legend to battle and wildlife to hunt.
– Co-op PvE (2-10 players) – – Whether you want to brave the lands alone or venture with trusted allies, Valheim supports independent, player-hosted servers and unlimited world creation. We recommend playing co-op with 3-5 players.
– Punishing dodge & block based combat system with a wide range of weapons
– Build & sail ships – from flimsy rafts to imposing warships, build legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands.
– Summon and defeat vengeful primordial bosses of myth and legend, and collect trophies to progress and craft new powerful items
– Flexible house and base building system – raise mead halls, farms, settlements outposts, castles and more.
– Intuitive item crafting – forge the finest weapons and armour, and craft food and mead.
– Dedicated server- for players who want to run a persistent server. If you prefer not to run a server on your PC, consider renting a server at G-Portal.
“A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Besieged by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim.”
“Your trials begin at the disarmingly peaceful centre of Valheim, but the gods reward the brave and glory awaits. Venture forth through imposing forests and snow-capped mountains, explore and harvest more valuable materials to craft deadlier weapons, sturdier armor, viking strongholds and outposts. Build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far…”
