About This Game
ALLFATHER packs the aesthetic of an old-school RPG with the brutality of a souls-like. Play through the eyes of a shield maiden rejected by the Valkyries.

Die, and die again, growing stronger every time. Break open the gates to Valhalla.
ROGUELIKE // PERMADEATH
Fell enemies to gain experience and level up in procedurally generated dungeons. Choose your own rewards. Create your build from the blessings of the Gods. Then manipulate your fate with rule-breaking relics. Every run presents new opportunities and unique ways to die.
SIMPLE MECHANICS // BRUTAL ENCOUNTERS
Master a simple set of mechanics in a brutal world. Face masterful duelists, swarms of creeping undead, frenzied beasts, and colossal bosses. Carefully balance your stamina throughout combat, keep your head on a swivel, and choose your moment to strike.
WEAPON CRAFTING // META-PROGRESSION
Earn iron and runes that can be spent with the merchants in Hel's Hall. Craft different weapons that change the way you play and allocate ability boosting runes however you like before each run. No matter how many times you die, they're yours to keep forever.
NORSE REALMS // OLD GODS
Earn blessings from the gods, discover powerful relics, make blood sacrifices and trade with dwarven merchants. Every realm is inspired by the Norse sagas, every floor you climb raises the stakes with environmental challenges and new foes to face.
AUTHENTIC AESTHETIC // MADE BY HUMANS
Made in the style of the 90s and 00s using modern tech to achieve retro results. Every model, texture and animation was created by a real artist. Every voice, sound and every piece of music was recorded and composed by a real human. The look isn't just a filter over modern assets, it's the real deal crafted by people making art in the style of games they love and grew up playing.
