What is Valhalla Hills?

In this single-player settlement strategy game, Odin has denied a group of fallen Vikings entry to Valhalla. Across randomly generated mountain levels, you gather food and wood, manage your Vikings' needs, and guide them past hazards to a portal at each summit.

For you if...

+you like managing resources for a Viking settlement
+you prefer changing mountain levels with a clear goal

Not for you if...

−you want fast-paced action instead of resource management
−you prefer handcrafted maps over randomly generated levels
