July 2025
Sons of Valhalla is a fun Metroidvania game is a fun one, and I definitely had some fun. The plot is fairly simple. The main character has to get his wife back, and pursues things, even after he died. The voice actors are great and did a good job bringing people to life. Combat is fun and easy, to master, and the system building bases, hiring mercenaries and kill the enemies. Side scrolling is quite nice and not necessarily bad. Just that it is short enough that it still is quite fun. The pixel art is cute, and gets the point across with the character and enemies. It is cool to see a ship go across and while you fight. It is also nice to see you can swipe and destroy a building. I also, enjoyed the music while in the game, and think it is a plus. The developers drastically changed the game in September 2024, after reading some terrible negative reviews, which made things very different, and much better if you ask me. Before, it was rough and repetitive, and lack diversity that made it lack interest, and borderline monotonous. After the patch, I love it now. The levels are shorter, and bit more varied, so I think ti is good. Only bad thing is that, I paid $30 USD for it, and yet, the price lowered to $19.99 afterwards. I didn’t like it as much. Overall, Score 5/10 BEFORE the September 2024 update. Score 8/10 AFTER September 2024 update. Recommendation: yes. Achievements: 2.5 hours Replay value: no

would i recommend this game?? hard to say. i like the premise. i like the character Thorald Olavson. his ideas of honour, bravery and chivalry. the voice acting is really good! runes are cool, and how they give you magic powers. the boss fights are cool. But honestly? most of the time i'm playing the campaign? I'm just sitting in my fortress waiting :/ waiting until i have enough resources to upgrade my troops to level 3. and then bulldozing the enemy with archers and catapults. making barracks units in the later stages is almost pointless. they die so quickly. later on you can become a one man army and you wont even need melee units to protect your ranged units. later on, boss fights become a complete dog walk. if you're injured? just eat meat! 50+ hp. bam. completing 1 scenario usually takes me about 5 hours. okay - but onto the part that people say they really hated. the stealth section - Raya's escape. i actually really liked it! in fact it only took me maybe under an hour to complete. some people say "oh vikings were never subtle about things! they were loud and proud and blah blah blah!" but Raya isn't a viking. viking isn't a civilization, it's a verb. it means "raiding" -- but the idea of Raya using whatever she can find, to escape her capture, is really powerful. and she does it without killing anyone. and i love that about her. anyway if you've read this far, i'd rate this game... maybe a 7? out of 10? 6 if you include the ending. id reconmend getting it if its on sale but not buying full price. its a great time waster. fun hack and slash.

Sons of Valhalla ”My Name is Thorald Olavson ” Side scrolling combat with base building and a narrative driven story. Its not overly complex but this is their first title and its pretty good. The artwork and sound is very nice and everything is voice acted as well. The game-play loop is satisfying and doesn't overstay its welcome and needlessly pad itself out. Had they dragged it out and padded it up it could have dragged a little. A great little indie title and I'll be interested to see what this Dev studio does in the future. Lots of Viking myth so anyone who is a fan of this will enjoy. Ranging from Odin & Loki to Hel & Niflheim. Some nice touches like Heimdall guarding the Bifröst and Geri and Freki by Odins side. The only flaw I came across was the immense slow down in horde mode. I love the fact that arrows stay in place in this game but in the horde when a metric tonne of arrows are trying to be rendered it causes the game to chug. The ending gives us a cliff hanger with a to be continued. I would like to see more of this game to be honest, I enjoyed it Trail-Dave "To be continued?"

"accidentally clicked "restart level" on the menu and it immediately undid my entire progress on a level. not sure why there's not a "are you sure?" for quitting the game or restarting the level. crazy oversight that just made me waste two hours of my life, of a time I was actually quite proud of grinding out. all just gone, poof. cause I misclicked" - original review and it still stands. but having beat the game and played a bit of the Horde mode, the gameplay loop is addictive. can be repetitive, if you try to stick to one play-style, but there's a varied amount of units and ranged weapons to experiment with that make for a fun time (example: cover the ground in tar, then let your fire archers set ablaze all enemy battalion charges) very satisfying to learn and prevail, very fun. hope they make a sequel, or DLC. glad to turn my review around. the quality of life improvements they could make would save some headaches, but worth the price, especially if you like supporting indie devs!

Almost a perfect game. I loved the pixel art animation and the fact that the entire game is voice acted was not a detail I overlooked. Wow! A real masterpiece. Cant wait for the DLC or sequel. I want to see more units and building types in the future to further diversify gameplay. A jump mechanic would be nice as well.
