Valheim is influenced by single player adventures like Zelda

The survival game Viking Valheim has been a huge success since it launched earlier this month. It briefly became the fourth most played game on Steam in its first week, and just a few days ago, developers at Iron Gate Studios announced that it had already sold more than two million copies. At first glance, Valheim looks a bit like the Viking Rust, and you might think that’s where the inspiration comes from. But according to Iron Gate Studios co-founder Henrik Törnqvist, it takes more influence from single-player action and adventure games and RPGs like The Legend Of Zelda and Skyrim.
