Despite lacking in the graphics department, the game just has something about it which is gripping and engaging.

"Valheim will be released on Windows and Linux via Steam. A Mac-version will be released if there is any significant demand for it. There are no plans to release on other platforms as of the time of writing but we won’t rule out console versions in the future."
