A world where an endless rain of iron has turned the sky to ash.
Summoned by Valdis, the goddess of last rites, you awaken in the body of a valkyrie who fell a thousand years ago — and spread your wings into a sky of bullets. Your only weapon: the knack for dodging that was the one thing you were ever good at, in the life before this one.
Barrage of Valhalla is a vertical bullet-hell shoot 'em up crossed with hack-and-slash RPG progression, built on two pillars: the skill to dodge and the joy to grow. Thread the needle for the pride of a top rank, or grind gear and buffs and bull your way through. Both are the right answer.
■ Four classes, four ways to fly
Each class turns the same stage into a completely different game.
- Swordsman — Melee sweeps. The only class that cuts enemy bullets from the air. An aggressive tank.
- Bowman — Multi-way and homing shots, the classic shmup pick. A great first choice.
- Magician — Devastating placement spells cast from a standstill. Your weapon is the courage to stop moving.
- Summoner — Familiars fight on their own while you focus on positioning.
Every class branches into eight advanced classes, then grows into a build that's yours through rebirth upgrades.
■ The skill to dodge, and the joy to grow
- No-miss, high-kill runs earn an S–C rank, with best scores recorded per stage and class
- Stack levels, gear and food buffs to power through even while taking hits. Lives plus continues mean "I can't clear this" never happens
- Want an edge? Hard Mode — one hit ends the run
■ Read the weak points, break the armor
Armored phases shrug off your shots. Strike the weak cores they expose. Damage is color-coded, so you can see where your shots connect without reading a single number. Five bosses whose barrages change with every phase.
■ A quiet life between sorties
Runevik, a hidden village beyond the rain. Fish, farm and cook for buffs that carry into your next sortie. Smithing, upgrades, the rune board, the training hall — nine facilities to keep your wings ready.
