Valheim is influenced by single player adventures like Zelda

Viking survival game Valheim has done some bloody numbers since it was released earlier this month. It soon became the fourth most played game on Steam, and just a few days ago developers Iron Gate Studios announced that it had already sold more than two million copies. At first glance, Valheim looks a bit like Viking Rust, and you might think this is where the inspiration comes from. According to co-founder of Iron Gate Studios, Henrik Törnqvist, it requires more influence from single-player action-adventure games and RPGs like The Legend Of Zelda and Skyrim.
