Valheim Experience

If you miss sagas about mighty Vikings, blame the Ragnarok TV series for not showing the real atmosphere of ancient times. Also, if you can't stand the fact that American Gods were canceled, and you don’t know how Odin is holding on there, Valheim is your game. It is set in the mix of legendary Asgard and any Scandinavian rural landscapes.

You start the game carried by Valkyries in mysterious Valheim. You have a task to kill enemies of Odin and restore the order in this place. You have to come through the trials. Don’t worry, from time to time, your efforts will be rewarded by Gods, and you will receive the glory you always desired. In the meantime, you have to go further and explore this beautiful place with hostile inhabitants. The open world allows you to build the ship and travel to multiple islands in your quest. The main features of Valheim:

• Enormous mysterious world from Northern mythology opened for your exploration;
• Multiplayer with up to 10 players to join you in the battle;
• Wide range of versatile weaponry;
• Mythical creatures;
• You can sail around the sea in the boat;
• Players can relax from battles while building houses;
• You can create craft weapons or food;
• Instead of a fight with enemies, you may try yourself as a farmer.
