The gameplay teaser shows various aspects in short sections that play a major role in Valhalla. In unsorted order:
- Main character Eivor travels with his / her Ravens early medieval England – the raven, like the eagle, acts as a scout to mark opponents and positions.
- The Raid mechanics is easy to see: You attack coastal settlements / fortresses with your longboat and lead your warriors to victory in large battles.
- Also Sieges are part of these raids. There are several types of battering rams and other siege devices.
- Throwing weapons are confirmed: Eivor throws throwing axes to cut enemies from a distance.
- The Clash of religions plays a major role: we see the cross of Christians in contrast to pagan monuments.
- You can freely style Eivor and tattoo.
- On the Longboat take about a dozen Vikings. That speaks for class instead of mass, you recruit both story characters and special raiders, which you can build yourself in the editor.
