Die For Valhalla! a hack- and slash- RPG, from the indie developers Monster Couch, which sees a supernatural maiden bestowed with the power to control heroes and monsters to help save her realm.
"A few years ago, I attended Pax Prime and interviewed Monster Couch about their upcoming game, Die for Valhalla!. I was impressed by the art style, the fun pick-up and play nature of the game, and the variety that was shown off for each Viking class. While these aspects remain as strong as ever, the repetitive nature of how the game plays brings it down to being a fairly mediocre and forgettable experience. " Jeff Young - Analog Stick Gaming
Die For Valhalla! manages to be something quite different while still tickling that old-school side-scrolling beat 'em up vibe.
Gareth writes: "What with God of War, Hellblade and now Die for Vahalla, I feel like I've moved to Scandinavia, taken up residence next to Thor and live just around the block from Odin.
This game however is not frightened to poke a tongue out and give a crafty wink to the whole mythology surrounding everything Norse. But is it worth a table at the great hall of Valhalla? Or is it doomed to that lonely cold walk to the realm of Hel?"
