Hi!

So Beta is here and for the first time you can play in the Beat 'Em Up mode.

Two ways to enjoy the story:
There are two story modes in the game: Beat ‘Em Up and Rogue-lite.

Beat ‘Em Up mode procedurally generates a larger world 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).

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

What's more there are:

1. More than 10 Viking Clans to discover and unlock . Each Clan has a special bonus and access to different Viking Classes.
2. Each of the 7 Viking Classes comes with unique play styles and combos.
3. Over 80 skills to choose from when leveling up your Valkyrie.

Let me know what you think! :)

Thanks!

Thanks Xolipher, great points there. I'm not a big journal fan myself as I tend to skip those in games, but will definitely look into that. 
Some reward for being the best in a previous level. Adding that to my "task wishlist" right now :D 
Throwing might be slightly more problematic. Will defintiely think about it.

Thanks for your kind words! I really appreciate you shared those ideas with us :). 

Hey Xolipher, thanks for playing ;).

If the problem occurs again, could you send us a screenshot and the log? We are tracking that one down.

To get log:
Open itch.io app -> die for valhalla -> Show local files -> (In explorer) DieForValhalla_Data -> output_log.txt

Send that log to me at krzysiek@monstercouch.com

Thanks! 

Changelog:
- Challenge mode that takes you through several biomes where you have to be quick and brutal to get as many points as possible
- Skald's combos now buff himself and other Vikings around
- Fixes to how damage over time effects work (burning, poison)
- Some stories are already in the game
- Shrines!

Hello there! Let me start.

I’m Krzysiek (a Polish version of the name Christopher). Here at Monster Couch I do gameplay programming and run the business&marketing side of things. This weekend we’ll be taking care of a friend’s dog and I can’t help but smile when I think of how excited my little son will be.

How are you? :)

1. What do I need to do to beat the demo?
   To beat the demo you need to defeat Fafnir. First you need to find clues about his hideout. Then a new place will appear on the map. Fafnir is a dragon-like creature.
   
   
2. Can I get some practice before Feb 2?
   Of couse. Just remember than only content posted / streamed durng our campaign will count towards the Challenge.
   
   
3. Can I change resolution or other settings?
   You can do that through the game launcher. Hold ctrl on your keyboard while launching the game (it works with itch.io app aswell). There will be in-game option for that, just not now, sorry!
   
   
4. Is the game finished?
   Well, no :). It's still in the making so please give it some patience ;)
   

Thanks for reading!
