Good game but could be better

The game is great and the nordic mythologic lore is always a fashinating one. Graphics are fair and levels are a pleasure to expore and re-explore to discover all secrets and power ups, boss fights are old style ones and special abilities of Thora have to be used properly. Not all aspects of the game are good, often the player's travels are lonely, there are very few enemies to kill before the boss battle and the game itself is very short. It seems Jotun hasn't had all the improvements that could make it a true success, maybe they had not enough money or time to develop it any longer. Anyway the game as it is now is worth buy and play it, I give it 4 stars because of the very immersive nordic atmosphere wich I love too much.

Dreamy journey for redemption

I was drawn in initially by the art style, something about the giant Jotuns animation has a Don Bluth feeling to it and that hooked me right away. The protagonists' quest towards Valhalla has indeed something quite cinematic at moments, with long quiet sequences where one can admire the beautiful landscapes interspersed with all sorts of battles, from the more tactical to the most frantic. Maybe the automatic zoom-in and out is at moments a bit confusing, though I suspect it also has its purpose to establish a sense of the vastness of the landscape and of the small (yet powerful) heroine in its midst. The narration is delivered in a 'Scandinavian' language and to me adds to the immersion with its sense of mystique, while the background story unfolds as one progresses. Maybe I would have liked to see a bit more of that beautiful animation style put to use for the ending, but all in all I loved to carry Thora through her journey. Five Nordic godlike stars.

No effort into the gameplay

You can really tell that they put all the effort and money into the art, music, and voice-acting... and none into the actual gameplay. The puzzles are basic fare and go on for far too long, and the combat substitutes challenge for just making the fight take up more time. Overall, this feels like a flash RPG.

Что и для кого

Тяжело классифицировать игру по шкале стандартного рейтинга.... Очень приятная графика, а когда узнаёшь что она рисовалась в ручную, подкупаешься этому факту... Первые 10 минут ты находишься в восхищение, но потом первый Йотун (великан скандинавской мифологии) он убивает всё впечатление и приятные эмоции.... Объясню, в игре реализована уникальная система масштабирования, когда вы проходите мимо ЭПИЧНОГО задника, изображение фокусируется на заднике за счёт отдаление масштаба от персонажа.... В итоге в битве с первым эпичным боссом, его размер (на мониторе разрешением 1360 на 720) составил 13 см, размер управляемого персонажа менее 1 см.... а учитывая что играю с джостика, и на расстоянии 1.5 метров (ещё добавте детали ландшафта и мелкие элементы атаки босса в виде хишной травы) ВАШЕГО ПЕРСОНАЖА С ТРУДОМ МОЖНО РАССМОТРЕТЬ НА МОНИТОРЕ, а если вы будите играть с ноутбука (спаси и сохрани)... 2 звкезды, 1 графическа составная, 2я мифологическая составная И если у вас слабое зрение или монитор разрешения менее моего проходите мимо (играть нужно уткнувшись носом в онный)

A Great Viking Adventure

I got this for free, or I otherwise wouldn't have played it, which would've been a shame, because it's quite good. It's a lot like the first Zelda meets Mega Man; the game is split into several different stages, and you can tackle them in almost any order you like. You can create a linear progression for yourself, fighting bosses as soon as you're able; or you could opt to finish all of the stages, maxing out your lifebar and gathering up all of the special attacks, before tangling with most of them. There isn't a lot of combat; some stages have no enemies at all, but challenge you with environmental hazards, instead. You explore these areas, trying to find everything hidden within them, but most of all, the rune at the end. Some of these challenges are poorly designed, leaving you to wonder just how to avoid the hazards, but for the most part, they're pretty reasonable. Boss fights are similarly a mixed bag, and for the same reasons. The visuals are beautiful, and impressive, considering that they're all hand-drawn, and animation is very fluid. The main character is great, too; she's a stout Viking warrior with an axe! The story is told via narration in a Scandanavian language with subtitles, and my favorite thing about this is that the pronunciations are actually correct. A pet peeve of mine is hearing the same terrible mispronunciations of Yggdrasil, Bifrost, and myriad others again and again. If you're going to use these elements, take the 5 minutes needed to at least research them! Anyway, as a mythology buff, I was impressed, learning a few tales that even I hadn't known. It's woven very well into the story, too. Tone is also impressively consistent; it's not so full of itself that it's corny, but it doesn't make any unnecessary attempts at humor, either; it's just a nice, serious story. The music is so-so, but it at least lets you know it's there, and the voice acting suits the experience very well; I love the way that Thora speaks.
