Einherjar's Ascent Demo
A downloadable game
⚔️ Welcome to Valhalla
This is the demo for a Norse-themed, pixel-art, survivor-like action game where you fight through mythological realms, gain power, and prepare for Ragnarok.
You’ve earned your place in Odin’s army — now you must train, survive, and master the runes of power to face the real battle ahead.
🧿 Gameplay Features:
-
💀 Survivor-like combat: Fight off hordes of enemies with auto-attacking abilities
-
🔁 Roguelite progression: Unlock new characters and powers
-
🌌 Norse realms: Explore environments inspired by mythology like Midgard and Muspelheim
-
⚡ Godly abilities: Summon lightning, freeze time, or unleash Huginn and Muninn
-
🎮 Supports keyboard & controller
This is an early demo and I’m still tuning things — if you find bugs, balance issues, or just have general thoughts, I’d love to hear them in the comments below!
I’m also fully aware that the current music and sound effects are placeholder — they’ll be improved in the final version. Thanks for your patience!
⚠️ Small heads-up: Fenrir isn’t balanced yet, and you currently can't win once Ragnarok begins — this will change in future updates. Consider it a challenge from the gods.
Known Issues:
- Many Sounds Are Placeholders
- Balancing Is Constantly Ongoing
- Ragnarok Probably Not Fair At All. Sorry.
