    It's fuuuuuuun! Playing the early access version was alright, but since then they changed and added so much stuff and now it's really fun!

They also added more enemies, like the dwarfs which take your building space if you don't stop them. I recommend this game!… Expand

    I really enjoy the graphics. Watching the cuddly vikings doing viking stuff is really charming.

    Yes, there's a quite steep learning curve especially if you're new to these type of strategy games, or haven't played it for a while (which was my situation). But in later levels (one hour of gameplay or something like that) you'll manage to rise a nice village and are prepared for the (sometimes tough) enemies. And run up to the final portal.

    And that's basically it.

    I have to admit, that it might doesn't sound quite interesting at first, but I was searching for a game I can play for an hour or two and return later on to continue my play without any frustrations or disorientation. Since you found a familiar pattern for each of your villages you feel comfortable at home every time you return.

    For me (and at least for a fair price) it's a great fun to play. Very recommended!    … Expand

    Probably NOT the best gamer in the world. But man I love gaming.

    It's a sweet strategy builder game from Funatics Software.

    Odin, the ruler of Asgard, is in a bad temper and trough his son and vikings out of Asgard since they lack of honor.
    Your mission is to protect and help the vikings to regain their honor so they can return to Asgard.

    POSITIVES:
    I found the graphics very appealing (except the water line) and the viking animations are quite smooth and nice.
    I like the cartoonish style and the environment looks good to my eye.
    I like the music but hope it will vary a bit more since I progress trough the game.

    NEGATIVES:
    The game play and tutorial is confusing to me, and I don't understand exactly what I'm doing. What's on auto, and what's not... I think it's not to bad as soon you get the point, sort of say. I need a few hours before I get it.

    So, at a first look I like the game very much and I definitely recommend others to try it.

    As a huge fan of Settlers 2 and the Cultures series I was very excited when I heard about Valhalla Hills and my expectations got fulfilled. I purchased while early access was still running and right then it already felt like a complete game. I love the simple art style and already spend hours with this game.

    Nice litle gem. A lot of Vikings in a funny graphics style.What I really like is that every Viking gives you the impression that he/she is unique.
    If you like strategy games like settlers, cultures and so on Valhalla Hills is a must have. Lot of fun and a really nice game.

    A really enjoyable, relaxing game reminiscent of old Settlers. [02/2016, p.57]

    Valhalla Hills is well designed and quite charming. If you are into strategy and building type games you will get addicted to Valhalla Hills easily.

    With the procedurally generated maps there’s plenty of replay value and there’s something rather rewarding helping you tribe earn the stripes and conquer each level. However the issues with crashes on the low-end of the graphical scale are a concern especially as this will be a tempting game for those who game on the go.
