Valhalla Hills is a 2015 video game developed by Funatics Software and published by Daedalic Entertainment. The game is a city-building and strategy game in which players control a tribe of Vikings to build and maintain a settlement with the objective of reaching a portal atop a mountain to enter Valhalla. Upon release, Valhalla Hills received mixed reviews, with critics praising the visual design and presentation of the game and pace, but critiquing the implementation of its gameplay mechanics and replayability. Following release, Funatics developed two pieces of downloadable content, Fire Mountains and Sand of the Damned, introducing locations and enemies, and compiled them in a Definitive Edition published in 2017.
