- Epic boss fights with the calydonian boar, manticore, cerberus and many others;

Gameplay
It is a vertical scrolling shooter, thus the main focus is timming and accuracy. However, Valgard has a very peculiar feature that is the interaction with the scenery. The main character is a man and he walks “physically” through various scenarios and therefore subject to the terrain features as: bumps, potholes, traps and different paths.
Mindset
In simple terms, the game features a journey through inhospitable places. And, we want to challenge the player to go forward on this journey. So, we want to keep the player strained by difficulty and precision needed to win, not to the point of causing frustration, but more will to win the challenge.
