Surely you remember how a genre that many did not understand its charm as survival became persistently fashionable on PC. Suddenly, developments and more developments began to appear like mushrooms in the field to the extreme, taking thousands of users ahead. Although some of these are still active today and in very good health, as is the case with valheim.
Vikings are in everything
The point is that valheim He is not an upstart of those who have just arrived since it has been with us for a couple of full years and always immersed in an early access process from which it has not left for the moment. This allows its developers, the guys from Iron Gate AB, to do tests with the peace of mind that comes from having achieved a resounding success in sales. Let’s not forget that this title managed to place more than a million units in just one week in February 2021.
But curiously it has been recently and on Steam, when we have detected a peak of players who have returned to it and that they have placed it among those that are considered a trend after a really good weekend at the beginning of this same month of February. What has happened? Because normally, for these circumstances to occur, there is always a price reduction, or some promotion that Steam puts in our hands or an update with some important extra content.
On this occasion none of that has happened so valheim has appeared in the trending ranking on Steam fleetingly and has disappeared without a trace, Leaving the privileged places he occupied and returning to his cave without leaving too much of a trace to explain what happened: an event between clans? An alignment of stars from Asgard? Nobody knows why…
Multiplayer procedural survival
valheim It is a title in which our first mission is to survive, and we must also do so with the threat of the presence of other players on our same server, where they will stalk us or help us depending on the decisions we make during the game. We can create a small guild that is self-sufficient within a controlled environment, setting up a camp, building ships to cross the seas or vice versa, dedicate ourselves to looting and try to subdue all those who share the stage with our ax
In any case, one of the keys to the success of valheim is its randomness. Each new adventure is different from the previous one. because the entire scenario is created through procedural technology that never repeats the same pattern, so our journey through Viking lands will always be unprecedented and we will not know where the resources and objects are that will allow us to advance throughout the history.
Definitely, valheim It’s one of those games They invite you to spend many hours on it because moving forward and getting a good team is complicated. So much so that in the same way that we will need half a life in the game to forge a legend, it is possible to lose everything in a skirmish against enemies because of a bad calculation that we make. A great game that is not going to cost you too much. Barely 20 euritos of nothing right now on Steam.
