Raiders of Valhalla is a new auto-battler roguelike that the folks of Afil Games were kind enough to send me. They also did Primal Survivors Xbox Review so they have a history of making smaller indy roguelike games.
This game is quite simple in every capacity. The story is a simple story of dwarves looking for treasure and fighting their way to Valhalla. The graphics are simple, and the sound is simple. Truthfully I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The controls as you guessed it, are simple. You use your mouse and the right click to get through menus, choose different weapons and armor then send your vikings on their way.
The battles as you guess from the type of game have no real input from you after you start them. They are cute to watch with your little vikings charging at the enemies and getting bounces back.
While the game is simple and unlocks come quick there are a few issues I have. for example the game does crash quite often. There is a sort of skill tree, but that isn’t available yet and I’m not sure how well that will work with the game having permadeath you can’t turn off. I just numbered my games attempt # to keep track because as soon as I died it gets deleted anyway.
The game is however well worth the $13. The amount of fun to be had is there even with these minor issues that will be worked out as early access continues. The game is a good 7/10. Give it a go, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
