Valhalla Hills is humorous civilization-building strategy game about a Viking Clan struggling to survive in a harsh mountain region as they attempt to build a Valhalla on Earth.

Valhalla Hills is inspired by traditional building games like The Settlers 2 but takes this proud heritage into the modern era, adding procedurally generated mountain landscapes and a rogue-like mechanic to intensify and expand the experience. A clever economic system provides depth and ample challenge for experienced players of strategy games and genre-newcomers alike.

The Early Access release of Valhalla Hills is fully playable (and great fun!), but will be continuously optimized and enhanced until final release in the fourth quarter of 2015. Currently, only a Windows PC versions is available, with Mac and Linux coming later.

“This is a very good day for strategy fans," says Carsten Fichtelmann, CEO and Founder of Daedalic. “We are very proud to present a very high profile and cleverly crafted game to players worldwide. We, as well as the talented developers at Funatics, will use the early access phase to garner player feedback as we continually improve the game before release.”

Until August 31, 2015, the core version of Valhalla Hills will be available for a discounted price of $15.99 USD (normally $19.99 USD), with optional "Premium" and "Contributor" versions (with extra content) also available.

Key features: 

  • Traditional building game gameplay in the “The Settlers” vein, but modernized
  • Made by genre veterans with 20+ years of experience
  • Beautiful graphics made possible by Unreal Engine 4
  • Endless variation, endless challenge, endless fun
