Die for Valhalla! Critic Reviews

Die for Valhalla! can be appreciated either as a surprisingly complex action RPG or just a fantastic casual beat em’ up. Whichever way you see it, Valhalla is a welcome addition to the Switch’s growing RPG library.

Die For Valhalla! is a successful mix of several genres that mainly presents itself as a lengthy side-scrolling beat-'em-up and just like the majority of such games is best enjoyed with friends along the way. There is still a lot to chew for the lonely solo player out there, so if you into the genre and Norse mythology, do consider giving this one a possession. Odin would approve and so do we.

Die For Valhalla! is a nice evolution of what 2D side-scrollers can be. Mixing in frantic action, charming visuals, and some surprisingly flexible approaches to action that always looks great and feels satisfying.

It doesn't go through with all its promises, however, and the game quickly becomes repetitive, despite its decent performance on virtually every aspect, it's mostly harmed by its lack of a livelier spirit.
