• Valhalla Survival introduces three new playable heroes to its roster
• Mani, Idis, and Sol are now available, each with the Ballista ability
• Tackle Nightmare mode, a boss raid, and other gameplay refinements in this update

If you're a fan of Lionheart Studio's hack-and-slash roguelike Valhalla Survival and have been craving fresh content, you're in for a treat. The developers have rolled out three new heroes alongside an additional skill called Ballista.

Meet the new heroes: Mani, Guardian of the Night, a Warrior who emits golden flashes to strike multiple enemies while boosting defense and attack through gigantification. Idis is a fate-weaving Sorceress capable of summoning Yggdrasil, the legendary tree, to mitigate damage and restore HP to nearby allies.

Lastly, Sol joins as a Lightbringer Rogue, summoning Valkyries (sometimes playfully called 'the sun's warriors') to fire arrows and suppress foes. You'll want their assistance—and every advantage possible—especially with the introduction of Nightmare Mode.

So, what exactly is Nightmare Mode? In short, it’s an elevated difficulty tier unlocked after finishing Chapter 3, Stage 30. Prepare for relentless challenges that will test your skills to the maximum. Once you're ready, take on the newly added Eternal Battlefield boss raid, available now.

Thankfully, the Ballista skill offers strategic support—it deploys a turret that fires long-range piercing arrows, ideal for backing up close-range fighters. The update also introduces the Accessory Gem Socket System, allowing you to equip gems on accessories and other gear.

If Valhalla Survival still doesn’t satisfy your roguelike cravings, mobile platforms remain a treasure trove for the genre. Explore our curated list of the top 25 roguelikes and roguelites on iOS and Android, featuring everything from fantasy epics to sci-fi adventures and more!
