Helheim BETA

Hello everyone! And welcome to the Helheim Beta!

[h2]Helheim Beta[/h2]
From today till next Thursday we will have the Beta mode open so we can all try the new realm before its official release.

This stage is absolutely opposite to the previous one, Vanaheim, filled with light and bright colors.
In Norse mythology, Helheim is the realm of the dead. Get ready to face many ghosts and spirits as you make your way through the depths of this dark world.



At the end of wave 4 you will have the opportunity to challenge Hel, the ruler of the underworld, as the final boss. Did you know she was Loki’s daughter?



[h2]1 Year Anniversary this Saturday[/h2]
As we anticipated last week, this Saturday, July 1st, is our 1 year anniversary since the Nordic Ashes Demo was published! We have planned an update that same day with a surprise we are sure you’ll love!


[h2]Steam Summer Sale[/h2]
Nordic Ashes will be part of the Steam Summer Sale with a 20% discount! Welcome to Midgard, it's been waiting for you!



[h3]Fixes/Improvements[/h3]
  • New translations added: Chinese, French and German. Thanks so much for helping us fixing them!

Update v0.10.6

[h3]Welcome our new survivor, Hansi the Shadow Rogue![/h3]
Hello! Hope you’re having a great day!

Time for a new character to join our ranks! Today we present… Hansi, the Shadow Rogue!
Hansi has spent many years trying to overcome the dangers of Ragnarok. Thanks to his ability to transmute shadows, he is able to use the energy of the enemies he destroys to his advantage.



This also means many many new leaves to add to your Yggdrasil tree.

We are currently working on Helheim Realm and it will be ready for beta in two weeks!
In the meantime, enjoy the new character and have an amazing rest of the week. Cheers!
