TO GREENER PASTURES
In Valhalla, you play as a male or female Viking warrior named Eivor and travel with your clan from your ancestral Norwegian home to conquer and settle England’s fertile fields. Though more temperate than frigid Norway, England is no less perilous. Whether it’s Anglo-Saxon barbarians, trained soldiers under a king’s command, or untamed wildlife, England has many trials to challenge your Viking crew. To survive, Eivor and the clan must forge alliances with other Vikings and Anglo-Saxon allies.
Establishing and growing your settlement is one of Valhalla’s main features. By building and expanding structures such as a stable, forge, granary, barracks, and items shop, you’ll gain access to additional weapons, gear, warriors, horses, and other items. Unlocking and upgrading your settlement also opens up new missions. These, in turn, reward you with experience points, weapons, lore, and a chance to get to know your settlers better.
You’ll need sufficient supplies and raw materials to upgrade buildings, but the process is as simple as walking up to a structure and selecting “upgrade.” Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations featured a similar base-building mechanic. But those games’ settlement mechanics didn’t feel as intimate as Valhalla’s, because you upgraded buildings from a bird’s eye view similar to real-time strategy games. In Valhalla, you live inside your settlement and see it and its inhabitants mature over time.
