Sons of Valhalla is a side scrolling base building strategy game that catapults you into the age of the Vikings. You slip into the role of the Viking Jarl son Thorald Olavson, who is leaving for England to save the love of his life.
The one thing I was most excited about with Sons of Valhalla was the city-building aspect but sadly this ends up being a really shallow experience. As a fan of StarCraft, WarCraft and any number of games like that, I had hoped this would be similar but on a 2D plane. There is no real depth or strategy that takes place when building the city or training...
Sons of Valhalla is an exceptional 2D side-scroller action game that challenges the player’s strategic approach and skills management.
Sons of Valhalla, which is pleasing to the eye with its pixel visuals and the Viking theme, appears as a game that does not fully utilize its potential and unfortunately drags itself into repetition.
Sons of Valhalla blends Viking themes with various genres, creating a unique and addictive game. The detailed pixel art and Norse mythology-inspired story add charm, though a repetitive horde mode and occasional frame drops slightly mar the game.
Sons of Valhalla has some ways to go. I’m hoping a couple of updates will ease some of the tedium of the city building and waiting for units. It felt like I was stuck through a lot of my playthrough, having to wait for something or another rather than forging ahead.
I wouldn’t even mind waiting for tactical purposes, but there really isn’t much more...
