Sometimes Devs listen to what the people want. Unfortunately, Sometimes the wrong kind of people turn up first to play a game and make stupid and reckless suggestions which corrupt the gameplay dynamic. Well done you "gamers" who wouldn't know gameplay if it bit them on the arse. Devs - Your only getting a thumbs up (and going by the ratings, you could use it)because you only half listening to those "gamers" and kept the original idea under the beta branch. Thank fook I went straight to the beta branch when I seen your notification as my first play, I wouldn't of given this reimagination a second glance.

Sons of Valhalla is an ambitious indie title that tries to merge the immediacy of side-scrolling combat with the depth of base building and strategy, all wrapped in a striking Viking setting. The game follows Thorald Olavson, a warrior who sets out across the sea after his village is destroyed and his beloved taken. His pursuit of vengeance is fueled by Odin himself, who grants him resurrection at the cost of precious runes, giving each death a tangible weight. The narrative may not break new ground in terms of originality, but it offers a strong backdrop that fits the brutality and mythic tone of its world, adding just enough motivation to carry players through its campaign of conquest and survival. One of the first things that stands out is the presentation. The pixel art is beautifully detailed, bringing the harsh landscapes of England to life with shifting skies, weather patterns, and careful use of light and shadow. Villages burn with convincing embers, forests feel dense and alive, and the day-night cycle gives a sense of passage that complements the journey. Animations for combat and unit movement are fluid, and the overall atmosphere benefits from an evocative soundtrack that balances calm ambient pieces with intense tracks that rise during battle. The combination of visual polish and audio design makes the game feel far more immersive than its minimalist style might initially suggest. Mechanically, the game attempts something bold. At its core, Sons of Valhalla is about building and defending bases while gathering resources such as wood, food, and silver to fuel expansion. Troops can be recruited from barracks and commanded into battle, but unlike many strategy titles, the player is not confined to an overhead perspective. Thorald himself is a combatant on the field, equipped with melee and ranged options, and empowered by a rune system that provides buffs and modifiers. This hybrid design creates moments where you are not just a distant commander but a warrior leading from the front, giving the game a unique identity that blends tactical oversight with direct action. Despite this creative approach, the execution is uneven. The pace can often feel sluggish, with long stretches of waiting for resources to accumulate before meaningful decisions can be made. While commanding troops can be satisfying, the artificial intelligence is frequently unreliable, with units bunching together awkwardly, obscuring the battlefield, or targeting the wrong objectives. Siege equipment in particular can be frustrating when it prioritizes stray enemies over fortifications, stalling momentum during assaults. Additionally, progression between levels can feel hollow since most buildings and upgrades are reset, leaving only Thorald’s runes to carry forward. This lack of continuity undermines the sense of growth and forces the player to start fresh too often, which can quickly feel repetitive. The campaign itself is relatively short, often taking fewer than ten hours to complete, and while it features a horde mode for replayability, the variety is limited. Many players report that after the novelty of the hybrid gameplay wears off, the repetition becomes more apparent, especially since the enemy encounters and building sequences follow a familiar rhythm. Performance issues further complicate matters, particularly on handheld devices like the Steam Deck, where frame rates can drop significantly during larger battles due to poor CPU optimization. Even on stronger PCs, the lack of graphical options and occasional technical hiccups can be noticeable. Yet for all its flaws, Sons of Valhalla manages to leave an impression. Its art style and music create a world that is easy to get lost in, and the combination of base management with direct action combat feels fresh even when it falters in balance. The rune system adds just enough tension to death and progression to make each choice matter, and the overall concept remains compelling. While it may not fully realize its potential, it succeeds often enough to warrant attention from fans of strategy-action hybrids and pixel-art adventures. Those willing to embrace its rough edges will find a game that, though imperfect, offers a distinctive take on Viking conquest with heart and ambition. Rating: 6/10

Finished this game already — the content is very little. Only 3 stages, and there’s nothing new after that. Compared to the price, it’s really not worth it. No New Game+ either. The game feels kind of like Kingdom, but with far less content. In comparison, I can’t recommend buying it unless it’s at least 50% off. Looks good on the outside, but inside there’s almost nothing. i rated around 3/5

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.
