What is Valheim?
Valheim is a Viking-themed survival game, where you can explore and survive on your own or with up to 9 friends on a dedicated Valheim server. Players can work together to build bases, create new gear, explore the world together and defeat some epic bosses. The game features numerous biomes with different difficulty levels, where players can farm for resources, craft new items, create new recipes and ultimately kill the boss in that area. While the single-player experience is fun, heading out with a group of friends to take on the world together is what makes Valheim special.
