Thrown from the gates of Asgard.

<span class="bold">Valhalla Hills</span> a viking city builder, is available for pre-orders now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 20% discount.

The mightiest of warriors will be fallen in battle, slain by the swords and hands of their foes. The chosen revel in perennial glory, where wine flows eternal and time is naught.

Valhalla Hills is a viking-themed city builder and survival game that invokes memories of games like The Settlers, Cultures and Banished. In this world, entrance to Valhalla is only granted to those who are deemed worthy. The rest will wander the hills for eternity. But not you, you're going to prance right in there. And that's going to take some preparation.

You can also pre-order the <span class="bold">Two Horned Helmet Edition</span> which features two upcoming DLC packs, an artbook, wallpaper, soundtrack, developer Video, 5 special in-game items!

Pre-order <span class="bold">Valhalla Hills</span> now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 20% discount will last for the duration of pre-orders.

Haha, by that time maybe GOG will offer it as a sale freebie. ;)
Mmh... seems overpriced for what it is.

In any case, wait for reviews, people.
Am I allowed to read reviews elsewhere, or do I have to wait for someone to put one on GOG?

Derps aside... I'll not only buy this by release day because I want to, I'll also do it with a little spite on top.

Since it apparently shares traits with Banished, it might be a sale freebie _and_ on sale. >_<

Nevertheless, I might buy this. I'd heard of it quite a while back and it looked interesting.
I saw Black Label Society concert yesterday night. Yeah, I can't get enough of Vikings. Interesting one... whishlisted!

Indie game developers are seriously raising their prices like if they were triple A releases. Aaand... the funny thing is that is an early access game still. And guess what? "Season Pass" with 2 DLC confirmed from nowhere. Man... that's not cute. Finish the game first, then we should talk about 'expanding'. Isn't it?

Let me be honest: The artstyle is beautiful, gameplay-wise seems decent, graphics are okay and looks like a game I might enjoy, but... hng. Stop learning the bad moves about big companies, guys. Please. Avoid like plague those marketing decisions. It should be more profitable FOR YOU and YOUR CLIENTS.
At first I was "Wooot, a game by creators of Settlers 2 and Cultures?! How come none of game news sites I visit ever said anything about it?! I'm super excited!".

Then I checked some screens and it was "Looks nice, although I would still prefer Cultures 1 looks"

Then I wached some videos and I changed my stance to "Looks rather simplistic, not sure if it will have the depth of Settlers 2 or Cultures. Plus the randomized islands? That probably means generic everything and lack of nice pre-defined campaign scenarios."

So going back to my default stance - will wait for it to launch and see reviews / let's plays
