Dive into the captivating world of Valhalla Survival, a thrilling open-world survival action RPG steeped in the rich lore of Norse mythology. Prepare for a challenging journey through Midgard, a land teeming with mythical creatures, unforgiving climates, and the ever-present threat of Ragnarök. This unique blend of survival mechanics and deep RPG elements creates an immersive experience for both survival and RPG enthusiasts. Master magical skills and put them to the test in dynamic real-time combat, demanding both skill and strategy. This beginner's guide illuminates core gameplay mechanics to help you thrive in this brutal yet beautiful world.
Valhalla Survival offers a unique roguelike experience where player control focuses solely on character movement. Unlike many survival RPGs, you can equip weapons and level up your characters outside the main gameplay. Simply select your character and weapon, click "Play," and embark on the story stages. Difficulty increases with progression, starting with weaker enemies before escalating to challenging bosses and mini-bosses that will test your dodging skills.
Navigate the world by clicking anywhere on the screen; there's no traditional movement wheel. While visually stunning, skill animations may occasionally require some patience. Gain experience (EXP) by collecting blue crystals dropped by defeated enemies. Green crystals restore health (HP).
After completing campaign levels 1-4, you can purchase characters and upgrades via in-game microtransactions. Each character boasts unique traits that synergize with their combat abilities. You can freely level up and switch between any owned character, regardless of class, offering unparalleled flexibility. Leveling enhances base stats (Attack, Defense, Movement Speed) and improves ability effectiveness.
Weapons are crucial to survival in Valhalla. The game encourages experimentation through diverse weapon builds. While class and playstyle restrictions exist (e.g., Asheran, the melee warrior, can't use bows), each class has numerous weapon options, combinable with armor and other equipment.
Weapons also provide stat boosts, enhancing damage, survivability, and mobility. Weapons of varying rarities are acquired as loot from mini-bosses and bosses, with higher-quality drops appearing at greater difficulty levels.
