Lots of places to explore

The game’s dynamic
You must be careful because while working together, you can hurt your friend in-game. For example, chopping down a tree may cause some damage to a nearby friend by falling on them. This brings a unique feeling of reality to the game, like you’re really living your own Viking life.
Build your own Viking longhouse
Build, rebuild, and model your longhouse. Bring concepts from this culture to life with your own taste by harvesting wood, which is essential for building your house. You can also use wood to build and repair floors, walls, and ceilings as well as building a small house for yourself or a large one to house all your friends.
Find a favorite weapon
Do you prefer to use a bow, an axe, or a shield? You can choose for yourself! Explore the many options to create extra space to hold more items in your inventory and more!
Viking theme
The Nordic mythology has a grand history, and in Valheim it’s possible to explore different views of this civilization and its many references to their people.
Sailing
Nothing else can bring a sense of liberty more than crafting your own boat and being able to explore unfamiliar places. In Valheim, you can go on expeditions and conquer whatever you want!
Playing with friends
There’s nothing better than being able to build a Viking village with your friends, defeat monsters, and live out your life in a new culture.
