Funatics ("Cultures") is making a "modern builder game, inspired by classical systems like Settlers 2 and Cultures". Daedalic will be publisher. Apparently they made the announcement during E3, but no one noticed, most stories in the (German) press are from this week.
Valhalla Hills is a building strategy game in the tradition of games like The Settlers or “Cultures”. The player has to lead his outcast Viking heroes to the top of a mountain, where a magical portal is leading to Valhalla. But to do so the Vikings need to do one thing first: Survive!
The player faces challenges and dangers in the inhospitable mountain region and find a way to the peak. Since the Vikings wouldn’t survive long in this territory the player has to take good care of them, protect them, clothe them and feed them as well as help them to fend off ghostly residents and wild beasts.
- the game will run on Unreal Engine 4
- indirect controls
- protagonists with their own personality and needs (mead)
- day and night cycle
- well-balanced economy
- generated maps
- Early Access on Steam August 24th, 2015
- lead designer / developer is Thomas Häuser (The Settlers 2)
