The game recommends this is how you always start for every new island you travel to, as tools are key to getting life on the island to a solid start. First thing required is materials, so your small group of rejected Viking warriors will hunt down resources to construct the first building, the toolmaker. While you might not know what type of island you will find yourself inhabiting, one thing clear is that each start always begins the same way. It reminds me of the classic, Worms, where its battlegrounds were created from numbers the player could enter. The game’s structure might sound similar to classic building management games, such as The Settlers 2 and Cultures, and there is a good reason for that, It’s not because the team are some young gun developers who were influenced by those classic games, but in actual fact, it’s due to the team featuring some of the same people that worked on those games all those years ago.Įach island is randomly generated from a sequence of numbers. This is to make sure that the fallen are ready for discovering and opening the portals, which are gateways to progress to the next hill, building up the honour to get ever closer to Valhalla until being at the point where you have enough honour to be let in.
You don’t physically control the population that walk around the island, rather, you passively influence their AI by building things and requesting unemployed Vikings, who have just fallen down from the sky and are sitting around doing nothing but chilling under a tree, to do work. Valhalla Hills is the resource management part of the God/strategy genre. This is where Leko comes in as a saviour, gathering the fallen warriors together to build their way back up to Valhalla. That isn’t the only issue, as Odin is so furious with how his son has turned out, he has closed the doors to Valhalla in a hissy fit, blocking any brave, honourable, Vikings who have fallen in battle from entering the paradise of Valhalla. It’s made worse when Leko fails in key areas of the exam of the gods, and so Odin, who has had enough with his son, appoints him as a lowly “ God of the Builders” and casts him down to Earth. Instead, he loves building things, which is not something a true Viking should enjoy as much as having alcoholic fuelled bar brawls. Odin is furious that his young son, Leko, isn’t interested in getting drunk, doesn’t have the bloodthirsty intent for fighting and won’t plunder like a good Viking.

You see, in the beginning of Funatics Software latest God game, we are met with an angry Odin, and when the ruler of Asgard is angry, boy, is he truly pissed, and no one in the Norse mythology is safe from his anger. If the story of Valhalla Hills is anything to go by, then I’m glad I don’t have Odin as a father.
