Game mechanics

Sons of Valhalla is a side-scrolling game. We control the protagonist and we take care of expanding our settlement, as well as organizing destructive expeditions and shedding enemy blood. Our own village provides us with a constant supply of resources and warriors, so we have to not only develop it significantly, but also solidly fortify it to ensure its defense.

When our village is secured, we can get on langskips and set off on expeditions, during which we have to plunder and conquer enemy settlements and fortresses. Dynamic clashes take place in real time, and success is ensured not only by issuing the largest possible number of troops supported by siege machines, but also by our own reflexes and dexterity. The protagonist takes an active part in battles, using primarily the sword.

As we progress, we develop the hero and upgrade his troops, so that we can face more and more challenges over time.
