Early patches for Valheim hints at a bright future for the game.
After being released as Early Access on February 2nd, Valheim swiftly gathered a major following. With more than 15,000 reviews on Steam, the game has garnered an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' review on the gaming platform.
Despite being in early access, developers have done extremely well to release updates swiftly. Valheim describes itself as,
"A brutal exploration and survival game...set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture."
The game presents players with the option to build their empire, battle against enemies, and conquer their territories and resources. It has been designed with the basic concepts of a survival-sandbox experience.
Valheim also allows players to explore integral mechanics like building a trade route or even setting up a deep camp for hunting. Additionally, allowing up to 10 players in a single lobby makes Valheim an ideal multiplayer game.
Nonetheless, with one week passed since Valheim's release, developers have made their goals for the game clear. With two updates in the first week of release, Iron Gate AB plans to make Valheim a mainstream game for the community.
