Valhalla's Tide

Take a Viking longship out onto a vast, living ocean where the monsters grow as you do.

**Sail.** A helm you steer with one hand, a sail telegraph, a sea chart you can tap to set a course. Five seas, each with its own weather: the Frost Sea's ice and northern lights, the Storm Sea's lightning and waterspouts, the fog of the Mist Sea, the reefs of the Warm Sea. Day turns to night; storms roll in; rogue waves lift the hull.

**Fight.** Sharks, sea serpents, giant octopuses, lightning eels, leviathans and more: every beast has its own attacks to dodge and brace against, and some will wrap your hull in their arms or coil round your ship. Raider fleets hunt you. Ship fights are fought on a battle line: time your broadside as she crosses your sights, and change speed to spoil her aim. Board a crippled ship and take her as a prize.

**Grow.** Fish, salvage wrecks, dig up buried treasure from clue maps, claim bounties. Spend it at harbour on shields, iron plates, ballistas, fire pots, sails and crew, eight ships from a little faering to the Naglfar, and 34 hull and sail designs each with its own perk.

**Face the legends.** The Kraken, Jormungandr and the Elder One each sleep in a lair and each fights its own way: cut the tentacles that grab you, sail out of the serpent's ring, break the Elder One's ward with its runes.

**Cross into Helheim.** With a great enough ship, Hel's Gate opens on a second world under a burning sky by day and a purple abyss by night, where every monster and every ship is undead and every kill pays souls. Souls buy rune upgrades, the greatest ships, and the right to face Hafgufa, Surtr and Nidhögg.
