Introduction
Today I am going to look at a game that is called Valkyrie Idle, will this be an idle game that satisfies the need of the gamer? Not too many ads, enough freebie premium currency? Not too many walls that need to be scaled, but most importantly, can you enjoy this game as a free player? I will not be writing a story section in this review, it is non-existent in this game.
What did I think before playing Valkyrie Idle?
I found this game due to another game that I recently reviewed, Blade Idle. This game is made by the same developer, and since Blade Idle was a fun game, I thought, maybe this one will be fun too! In this idle game, you will play as a Valkyrie as you rush through stages and destroy the enemies in front of you for gold, experience and more, for more information, I went to check out the Google Play Store.
The Google Play Store

It appears that this idle game is based on Norse Mythology; thus you can expect to find their gods, you know Thor, Loki, Balder, those guys? Well, we will see, there are many dungeons to clear as you gather loads of loot, well, loot is always nice! You can also take companions with you that will help in battle. Ah, there are also costumes, I will need to look at those for the gameplay section, are they pay to win?
Rating
I rated Valkyrie Idle with a 7.3 before playing.
I have a good feeling about this game!
Gameplay
First, I would like to mention that most of the costumes can be earned by just playing the game, or using the premium currency, the red gems. Luckily, these gems and free summons are given away a lot. Occasionally, you even get thousands of free summons! There are many ways to increase your attack, just leveling up, but there are also start points and passive abilities that you can reroll.
There are many stages to clear and the further you get into the game, the more gold and experience points you will gain. As you level up, more things will become available to you, like a tower of trials where you can earn even more rewards. Or you can raid the vault for a lot of gold. The companions are very useful as well.
Then there are other ways to get stronger, like earning tokens to buy relics, or even go into PVP. Even if you lose, you will still get rewards to buy upgrades that will increase your strength. There are more ways to upgrade, and you do not even need to watch ads to get stronger. While there are some walls, so far, all of them can be surpassed with some idling.

I rated the gameplay of Valkyrie Idle with a 7.5
The gameplay is enjoyable, and the rewards can be earned without paying a dime!
Sound and Graphics
Graphics
The graphics of Valkyrie Idle are a bit cartoonish, but they look well crafted, however most of the time, you can barely see what is going on the screen as the enemies are being pummeled to death. Oh well, they must have deserved it! The HUD is not cluttered, and the buttons are all arranged neatly.
Sound
The soundtrack is fine, as for the sound effects, they are not special but not bad either.
Rating
I rated the sound and the graphics of Valkyrie Idle with a 6.8
While not bad, it is not very good either, good enough for playing a game!
What did I think after playing Valkyrie Idle?
I had a lot of fun when playing this game, I enjoyed the well—polished gameplay mechanics. And of course, the free rewards were very welcome as well. I enjoyed the fact that I could summon this many weapons and companions. You can then also upgrade them into better variants, or even give those abilities as well!
Even though you need to idle now and then, the bonus goes up to 24 hours of being AFK, you can be very active with this game while clearing the dungeons. The orb dungeon is the most important one as it allows you to upgrade your rank, this comes with a free costume and massive benefits to your strength!
Rating
I rate Valkyrie Idle with a 7.2 after playing.
While not the best idle game, it is also not the worst idle game.
What are my personal thoughts about Valkyrie Idle?
I, personally, enjoyed this game less than I had thought, maybe it is the art style, or perhaps this game just did not land properly. Whatever the case, it is still a very fun game to play!
Rating
My personal Rating of Valkyrie Idle is a 6.5

You are welcome!

It looks like a genuine afk/idle game that's not just a cheap way to take your money! The artstyle looks cute to me but they do need to calm down the gigantic attack/explosion animation though lol! Something like that should maybe only be used for some kind of special attack a character does
supersven
The explosions are overkill!
rezonono
not for me but thank you!

I used to play IDLE games, if i remember it was titan idle or something like this. But like almost all here its not my type too
MonteCheveaux
Looks slightly above average for an idle game. Good mechanics, but nothing much to stand out.
Wonder
Out of all the game's costumes, which one was your favourite?
DonCarlos
What'd you expecting it to be? You're a literal Valkyrie in this game and you level her up to be godlike powerful 🙂
emil

I don't understand the concept of an idle game. Why do I play a game to do nothing, when I can do nothing without a game 😀
