You can do it through a comprehensive crafting system that allows building boats, rafts, farms, strongholds, and everything in-between. That said, you can dodge, parry, block, and attack with a vast range of weapons and shields.Ī crucial part of the experience is building a longboat to explore the different islands. For example, swinging the ax improves the ax skill. There’s a character progression system that works by leveling specific skill trees through particular actions. You craft weapons, build fortifications and grow in power slowly but steadily. Doing so requires exploration, exploring, harvesting, crafting, and combat. Your goal is slaying Odin’s rivals to restore order to the realm.

You play as a Viking soul on Valheim, the tenth Norse world. There’re also dedicated servers for players who want to have a recurrent character. You can play the game either alone or with servers with 10 people. Valheim is an open-world adventure survival game within a procedurally generated Viking world.
