About the Game

Die for Valhalla! is an action RPG where you hack, slash and crush your enemies! Possess and take full control of heroes, monsters and other things to help Vikings save their realm!



You are a Valkyrie, a supernatural maiden bestowed with the ability to possess fallen warriors. You embark on a quest that will lead you through strange lands where Norse Mythology collides with Lovecraftian mythos. Sounds Weird? Well, because it is!

You can play solo or locally with friends (up to 4 players).

Two ways to enjoy the story:


Normal - Beat ‘Em Up mode creates a larger world for you to explore with a more relaxed difficulty curve. You can revive your friends and the potions you find have useful or hilarious effects (or both).

Hardcore - Rogue-lite mode generates a smaller world featuring steeper difficulty curve and permadeath. Some of the potions you find have malicious effects - you have to learn which ones to avoid in each run!

Key Features:

  • Normal mode - Beat 'em up style for a more relaxed gameplay
  • Hardcore mode - action-packed hybrid of Roguelite and arcade Beat ‘Em Up.
  • Unique Possession mechanic.
  • 10+ Viking Clans to discover and unlock. Each Clan has a special bonus and access to different Viking Classes.
  • 7 Viking Classes, each with its unique playstyles and combos.
  • Over 80 skills to choose from when leveling up your Valkyrie.
  • Cute but bloodthirsty creatures will become your companions. Each has a different ability to aid you on your journey.
  • Deathmatch and Survival Challenges: Test your skills and compete with friends.
  • And more!
