Today at 6 pm CET, the final version of Valhalla Hills will be digitally available on Steam and GOG, among other platforms.
With the official digital release of Valhalla Hills a new type of adversary, the mountain dwarves, will also be implemented in the game to give our sturdy Vikings some more trouble – but the newly available defense towers will give settlements an edge and help keep villages safe.
During Early Access, the developers received a lot of helpful press and player feedback and continuously improved Valhalla Hills and the gaming experience. This cooperation definitely paid off: Valhalla Hills has been nominated in four categories at the German Developer Awards, among the nominations are Best German Game and Best Game Design.

Since the Vikings wouldn’t last long in the mountains, they have to take care of clothing, food and shelter and defend themselves against ghostly mountain dwellers and wild beasts. These sturdy people have their own head and since a good keg of mead is a solid reason to slack around, all this is easier said than done. However, another threat looms, coming from out of the mountain…
