Global indie publisher Grindstone and developer Games Farm announced Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, a new roguelike horde-survivor game set in the dark realms of Norse mythology. The game puts you against waves of creatures to earn the divine blessing of ancient Norse Gods. Grindstone also announced that a demo for Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel will be coming to Steam in May.
Peter Nagy, CEO at Grindstone stated:
“We are thrilled to announce Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel and to be working with the talented team at Games Farm. With Games Farm’s proven track record in creating immersive and challenging game worlds, we are excited to introduce players to this brutal horde-survival experience.“
Embark on a hazardous quest through the dark realms of Norse mythology. Select a fallen soul condemned to suffer in Helheim and wield your blade against legions of foes in a relentless quest for redemption. In this desolate domain, divine blessings are scarce, earned only through the spilling of rivers of blood. Navigate through the hostile realms of the Norse underworld, invoking mighty bosses through ancient rituals only to sever their heads in pursuit of salvation.
Check below some of the game’s features:
Engage in intense and adrenaline-fueled battles against relentless waves of enemies, all while under the pressure of time. Each encounter is a test of skill and reflexes as you fight to survive against the overwhelming odds of the Norse underworld.
Embark on challenging tasks and missions within each run to test your abilities and add depth to your journey through Nine Worlds. These quests may require you to complete specific objectives or overcome additional obstacles for greater rewards.
Progress and improve your character with meta-progression systems that offer unlockable perks and upgrades. As you continue to upgrade, you’ll unlock new abilities, enhancements, and bonuses to customize your playstyle and enhance your chances of survival.
Choose from a variety of diverse characters, each with their own unique set of skills, abilities, and weapons. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect match for your playstyle and adapt to various challenges and scenarios encountered throughout the Hordes of Hel.
Confront powerful boss enemies that pose increasing levels of threat as you progress through the game. Employ strategic kiting tactics to outmaneuver and defeat these formidable foes, utilizing the environment and your skills to gain the upper hand and emerge victorious.
