    Valheim - Interest Blog

     

     

    Valheim, developed by Iron Gate Studios, and published by Coffee Stain Publishing, is an open world survival sandbox, released on Steam in Early Access on February 2, 2021.

     

     

    Players are thrust into the roles of Vikings, who were sent into the afterlife in order to combat the creatures besieging Valheim, the tenth Norse realm. Being the newest guardian of the realm, you are tasked with slaying the ancient enemies of Odin and the gods, and bring order to the realm of Valheim.

     

     

     

     

    Players are able to explore a procedurally generated world, of their choosing. Venturing into dark forests, climbing onto snow covered mountains, and looking upon long lush valleys. If that inner viking in them is there, they can take to the seas and try to explore it, with the risk of awakening something....

     

     

     

     

    Ever dreamed of being the lord of your own Norse village? Well, now you can be. Build your own houses, mead halls, and even castles, with a powerful construction interface in game. You can even build legendary vessels to conquer those seas and discover new lands, rich with resources and new dangers to conquer. The limit is your own imagination Viking.

     

     

     

     

    Survive in this harsh and cruel world, as you fend off creatures and find resources to build your towns, and feed yourself. Craft yourself powerful weapons and armor, as well as food and mead to prepare yourself for any encounter ahead of you.

     

     

     

     

    Don't do it alone! Take a friend with you, or 9. Whatever floats your Long-ship! Players are able to play in co-op on self hosted servers, or dedicated servers, and explore the world of Valheim with all its beauty and dangers. It is recommended to play within a party of 3-5, as the game is still in Early Access, and there is still things to be fixed and improved as time goes by.

     

     

    You can buy the game on Steam: Valheim Steam Page

     

     

    This game has taken the internet by storm, and is among the top 5 played games on Steam currently, with peak players being around 500,000 a day. It offers something players have been wanting for a long time, a survival game that offers all the fun of one, without the annoying troupes accompanied by it.

    Valheim quietly takes the internet by Storm

                            

    On Tuesday February 9th, Valheim became the fourth most played game on Steam, hosting

    over 160,000 peak concurrent users, surpassing Grand Theft Auto V, Apex Legends and

    Rocket League.

     

    Valheim, a new indie Viking-themed multiplayer survival game has just hit Steam Early Access.

     Up to 10 players will be able to work together to explore and survive the harsh environments of

    the tenth world of Yggdrasil. It is probably best described as a Minecraft, Terraria, Souls game.

    That’s a lot to take in. Valheim combines the 3D base building of Minecraft – although with the

    mechanics of Rust – with the material grind and boss-fight mechanics of Terraria. And the combat

    has definite Souls-like vibes.


    Though it’s not just the art style that has everyone raving about Valheim.

    One of the first awesome aspects of the game is the way in which you level up skills.

    Cutting down trees with your fists boosts your unarmed skill. It’s like a crossover of Mount and Blade,

    Runescape, and Oblivion. Much more intuitive than a complex skill tree.

     

    The scale of the game is also impressive, and you’ll notice it even before you take down the first

    of the several bosses in the game.
