VALHEIM is a new action survival and construction simulator game. The game was released quite recently on February 2, 2021, only with a focus on early access. The game was developed by Iron Gate AB, which plans to continue working on the game and add new goodies.

By the way, the game can be played in cooperative mode with friends up to 10 people. But this will change the level of the environment. The more people in one team and on one server, the more dangerous and difficult it will be to go through and develop.

From some point of view, the game resembles the well-known Minecraft. Only with improved graphics and more detailed pixel graphics. For example, the building interface resembled the one we saw in the game Minecraft. The similarity to Minecraft is only in some points, and most of the other points are the best developments of the Iron Gate AB studio in the game VALHEIM.

About the history of the Vikings and survival in the game VALHEIM.

The game is presented in the form of Scandinavian mythologies and the culture of the ancient Vikings. You will have to survive and develop on the territory of Walheim. This is the 10th Viking world with stunning natural beauty. The vast world is full of dangers and the further the Viking explores the world around him, the greater the difficulties to see. On the way, you can meet huge monsters and very powerful bosses.

Our hero found himself in the mysterious world of Walheim thanks to a bird. The main task of the hero is survival, and an attempt to open the gates of Valhalla. To survive and get additional bonuses, according to the bird’s advice, you need to look for places with altars. To do this, you will have to fulfill the condition for the altar and put the captured animal on it. After that, a summoned boss appears, with whom you need to fight and get trophies from him. These trophies must be brought to the place of the main altar to which the bird brought.

Defeated bosses, or rather the remaining trophies, provide additional special bonuses. The bonus takes effect only if the trophies are hung on the stones near the main altar. The main altar is the main ritual place of our Viking, where he can receive additional power.

Our hero will have to survive, referring to his inner qualities and experience. Knowledge in construction and engineering will help you build a shelter and collect tools for protection. You can craft armor and different types of weapons. And the resources for the implementation of the tasks are underfoot, in the open world of VALHEIM.

About construction in the game VALHEIM.

The first house can be found not far from the main altar, looks like a wooden hut. The found house can be settled and improved, including a complete rebuild. There may be a hive of wild bees inside the house, which must be disposed of immediately upon entering the house.

Increasing living space will require resources from wood, which can be found right on the ground or plucked from small trees with your bare hands. And the stone is located near the river and can also be collected by hand. After making tools, you can extract resources from deposits, large locations of resources.

The construction process resembles a Minecraft game with an improved interface. The crafting process is probably also borrowed and improved from the same game. This makes the game much better and more interesting. There is a desire to build something else.

Surprisingly, this is the first time we’ve come across thoughtful construction elements. At the beginning of the development of your home, big innovations are not very noticeable. The house is easy to build, just like in most games with similar construction elements.

Second floor.

And when you start building the second floor, problems already begin. Since it is necessary to calculate the load of the building and it is possible to build a reinforced foundation. The fact is that the second floor is built on supporting structures that serve as the basis and support the second floor. In our case, it was not possible to build the second floor. Perhaps they did something wrong and the supporting structure simply did not fit on top of each other.

In addition to construction on land, the construction of floating ships is available. With the help of surface structures, you can move to other territories that are closed by the sea. When traveling on your boat, you need to stock up on food and everything you need. Since the sea will not have the resources that are on land.

About survival in the game VALHEIM.

At the moment, VALHEIM is the only game, in our opinion, where everything is implemented quite clearly. For example, a character can die from a tree he chopped down. Moreover, a felled tree can act as a weapon; when falling, it touches other growing trees and causes damage. Let’s say this approach can be applied to enemy fighters, if you guess the trajectory of the fall.

An enemy fighter can also knock down a tree. For example, an orc who can try to hit a character with his club. The blow made can touch the trees standing nearby, and in the future trees can fall on the hero. And even if you managed to dodge the blow of the orc, then there is a chance to die from falling trees.

The fire itself.

The fire itself, who would have thought, was made by the developers with a double effect. On the one hand, a fire can warm the character and illuminate the room, and on the other hand, a fire in a house can burn you. make the character comfortable in the house next to the fire, you need to build an air duct or chimney. To do this, it is enough to leave an opening in the roof area and the smoke from the fire will go out into the street.

To get food, the character will have to look for food or hunt. The safest are deer, but you have to run after them. With boars it is easier, they themselves can attack the character, all that remains is to successfully fight off. There may be such pigs, to which the damage caused prompts them to retreat, and then attack again.

Surprisingly, most animals can swim. Not to walk along the bottom of the river, namely to swim, and are calmly able to swim across to the other side. But our character with swimming is not very good, the longer in the water, the greater the likelihood of getting damage from water. For swimming, you will have to pump such skills.

Changing the time of day in the VALHEIM game.

In many games there is a change of day and night. VALHEIM, one of the few games where changing the time of day can be very harmful to the hero. Since at night, penalty effects are imposed on the character. It is more difficult to navigate at night due to poor visibility. In addition, at night, the temperature drops, which is why you have to create a fire and warm up. On average, at night, during the summer period, the character will not freeze.

About climate and environment in the game VALHEIM.

In addition to the change of day and night, the game has environmental effects. For example, rain and cold wind can damage a character’s health. If you light a fire and leave it in an open space, then the rain can put out the fire, you have to build small buildings.

The wind in the game VALHEIM also has its own meaning. on the one hand, it shows the owl’s presence and direction, needed for the character. On the other hand, without the wind and its direction, the constructed surface ship cannot sail. Controlling the built boat is still something, you have to learn to catch the wind.

During the winter period, the character can freeze and begin to lose health. To do this, you will need to wear clothing that removes the negative effects of the cold. And do not forget to warm up by the fire.

Conclusion on the game VALHEIM.

Having looked at the possibilities of the game, we can say that the developers offer players a decent product. The graphics are not super 4K, but this is the main feature of the game, its so-called highlight. The main features are in the internal tools. Such as the influence of the environment on the character and the effects of survival with construction processes.
