ZALVION: The Last Wolf

ZALVION is a Norse action roguelike. Pick one of three characters, clear 19 realms in order, and build your character differently on every run.

▸ How a run goes
You pick a realm, ten waves of enemies come, and that realm's boss shows up at the end. A run takes about eight minutes. Clear the realm and you keep all the loot you gathered; die and you keep a third of it.

▸ Killing makes you stronger
Your bar fills as you cut down monsters. The moment it fills, Fenrir wakes: enemies around you are blown away, you pick one power-up, and ten seconds of chaos begin. Enemies come three times faster, from every direction. The moment you get stronger, the game gets harder too.

▸ Plays without internet
An internet connection is required for the initial content download. Once the download is complete, you can play offline.

▸ Watching ads is entirely up to you
There are no ads that cut in and wait to be closed. Ads only appear when you ask for one: to refill energy, or to revive when you die. If you never want one, you can play the whole game without seeing a single ad.

▸ Three bloodlines, three ways to fight
Ulf uses an axe, he is durable and stays in melee.
Vex dashes in with twin daggers, fast, built around critical hits.
Astrid casts frost and storm magic with her staff and fights at range.

▸ Something waits at the end of every realm
19 realms, 19 bosses. The Draugr Lord, the Frost Jarl, the Crystal Tyrant, the Ash Sovereign, the Fallen Æsir; each one has its own attack pattern and its own voice.

▸ Gear: craft it, level it, push the tier
Weapon, armor and jewelry each drop their own fragments and materials. You craft new gear from fragments, then raise it to level 21 with materials and gold. Past +5 your gear starts to glow; the higher the level, the stronger the glow on your weapon and armor and the faster it pulses. You push tiers from Bronze to Iron, Wolf, Fenrir and Ragnarök. Fragments you don't need can be converted to another type or into materials. Equipping two and four pieces of the same set unlocks set bonuses.
