The Viking mythology-inspired world has always been a rich tapestry for video games, and Lionheart Studios' upcoming roguelike RPG, Valhalla Survival, is no exception. With pre-registration now open and an anticipated launch date of April 21st, new details about the game have emerged, offering a glimpse into what players can expect.
Valhalla Survival is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, promising stunning graphics and immersive gameplay. One of the standout features Lionheart Studios is promoting is the game's vertical interface, designed for one-handed play. This allows players to engage in quick, 5-7 minute sessions of fast-paced action, perfect for gaming on the go.
For those craving more extensive hack 'n slash experiences, Valhalla Survival also offers an "Eternal Glory" mode where players can battle endless waves of monsters across over 120 stages. Players can choose from three distinct classes: Warrior, Sorceress, and Rogue, each with their own skill tree featuring ten activatable skills per run. This customization allows players to tailor their strategies and maximize their chances of success.
The game boasts an impressive array of content, including over 200 pieces of equipment and a staggering 240 monster types, culminating in massive boss battles that promise to test players' skills to the limit. While Valhalla Survival may not be a direct successor to games like Diablo, it certainly appears to be carving out its own niche within the mobile hack 'n slash RPG genre.
The vertical perspective of the game might not appeal to everyone, but with support for 13 languages at launch and a planned release in over 220 countries, Lionheart Studios is aiming for a broad appeal. As the launch date approaches, fans of roguelikes and hack 'n slash games have plenty to look forward to with Valhalla Survival.
