It has become quiet around the Viking MMORPG Valnir Rok. So calm that hardly any player had the title on their screen. Possibly until now, because the developers are trying to resuscitate - in the middle of the coronavirus crisis. A big update with many changes should help the MMO with a Viking setting to make a comeback.
Valnir Rok: According to fans, not a total crash
The Viking sandbox didn't crash completely judging by the Steam ratings. There the rating tendency of the users is at least balanced. Fans often attest to the potential of the early access title. The most recent feedback, on the other hand, is less positive: Valnor Rok is orphaned, hardly any players are out in the world. With "dead, dead, dead" one player sums up the essence of the criticism.
Apparently the developers don't want to accept this so easily and are making adjustments in many places. "The developers of Valnir Rok have worked relentlessly and improved the game," according to the current sign of life.
