Die for Valhalla! Reviews

What a gem! $9-12 of hack n slash fun! Fans of "Rampage knights" and "Castle Crashers" this is a great game for you . Die for Valhalla follows the same pace, environments and formula as castle crashers with quite a bit more attention to skill point allocation and character development. This game, while a fun multi-player, still shines with an entertaining singleplayer mode. This is often not the case for hack n slash beat em up games. You start by picking a spirit who represents a season. As that spirit, you can possess objects or revivable vikings to fight and dominate the battlefield in silly ways. Each viking represents a class or style of fighting with special moves. Pets can be found on some maps by defending a point (warning the shrines health will be your pets health, and yes pets can die). Hopefully pets can be permantly unlocked, as they feel somewhat useless at the moment acting as dumb damage sponges. If you leave a map to the overworld view, you have the option to unlock clan houses that contain various types of vikings and bonus perks. The skill allocation system is the real meat of the game. You have two trees with their own points, "skills" and "runes". Skills are simply a randomized cluster of abilities or perks (you can pick one per level). Picking "runes" is like playing "minesweeper" to maximize your base stats (hp, magic, def, atk). The game could use a few more monster variations, pets, boss battles and a central "hub" for unlocked pets. But just as any game, that comes in time.

A little bit boring but the boss system was good. I bought this game to play with my brother. My brother don't like it and I played all the game alone. If I played it co-op, I know I love the game more and more. Pros: +Body-ghost system never seen before. +Stat upgrades are very creative. Cons: -Music is good but not epic. I can't understand is it a normal music or a boss music. -Sfx not. -There was no sense of knock. (Caused by Sfx.) But it's still playable.

I am somewhat mixed on this game. It has great animations, creative and diverse monsters that generally require different strategies to take down, and some hilarious cut scenes. That being said i would take a hard look at this game before buying it because it is pretty short and gets insanely repetitive at times because some monsters can have a boatload of hp. Overall this game was great but i would mainly consider it to be a time killer.

Very straight forward hack and slash. Plot is ok. Graphics are ok. If you get it cheap and want to mindlessly grind then this is the game for you. I was about a third of the way through the game and I lost all interest in it.

Charming, funny, action packed and rather difficult beat them up game. What I liked in Die for Walhalla: - quite challenging gameplay - nice graphics, great design of monsters and bosses - you will hack and slash tousends and feel somehow light and relaxed - bloody Vikings! - couch co-op mode with bloody Vikings! What I did not like: - design of some levels looks somehow similar - boss fights are sometimes difficult as hell and frustrating (especially in single player mode) Overall: for this price its must-have selection if you like this kind of games.

My son and I really wanted to like this game. But no. PROS Nice art. Interesting level-up system. CONS Even when we tried to develop 2 characters differently, we felt they play pretty much the same. The levels and the enemies felt too repetitive. High level enemies were basically the same as low level ones but with much more HP. Controls felt a bit stiff or even unresponsive when fighting lots of enemies. Boss fights (specially the late ones) were super boring.

I bought this game after watching KeepEtClassy play it. Overall I'd say it's short and fun, and even more short and fun if you have 1-3 friends with you and sufficient controllers. I had neither, but nonetheless it was good. It took seven hours to beat, and a better player will be able to do it quicker than that, but if you do Hardcore mode you'll be having a few Game Overs to go through. In a lot of ways this is your classic side-scrolling beat 'em up - move about and try to judge if the enemy is on the same plane as you, standard jump-attack-heavy buttons that you string together in combos, you know the deal if you were born before the 90s. While it looks very "Made in Macromedia Flash", it keeps to the visual style all the way through. It plays well, and the simple combat style (modified by particular special abilities of certain "classes") is easy to get caught up in. It's certainly not a Final Fight 3 level of polished brawler, but it has its own unique elements. Also the levelling system is fun and fits into the theme. The game is cheap, so if you like to run about and hit people with an axe, I'd say go for it.

I'd recommend it, it's a good game with nice mechanics, it can be challenging as well, you can play as a regular beat'em all or as a roguelike, it has RPG elements to it, the difficulty is increasing as you gain more power, the art style and the music are really nice and helps the story delivering, there is also funny moments with the cut-scenes which introduce a level, you have several classes and many possiblities to approach the game, it is really easy to pick up, has a nice playtime and a great variety of enemies, themes and customisations.

- Art is beautiful - Gameplay more or less - level and mob design poor -> idk what player base seeks this game, but it is poor - simple story not bad After all, first two hours are fine, then it is boring. Dynamic of game is quite fine, good coop. Skills are random. Tbf, Castle Crashers are great than Die for Valhalla. Idk, give it a shot. In discount it can cost around 3,5€.

It has pretty mediocre game design. The level-up system is nice, but the game play feels stale. The enemies don't get more interesting as the game progresses, they just get more HP. The final boss seems impossible to beat without grinding. Buy Castle Crashers, Charlie Murder, or Son of a Witch instead.
