Hewge Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So Jotun has released today. In Jotun you play as a female protagonist named Thora, a Viking warrior who died a totally lame death, and must now prove herself to the gods so that she may enter Valhalla. The aim of the game is to explore around, solve some puzzles, and most importantly; kill yourself some big bad ass bosses. (Think Dark Souls/Titan Souls)Reasons to add it to your list of games:Norse mythology! Who doesn't love that?Hand-drawn, gorgeous art style.Awesome music!Challenging, interesting boss fights!Reasonably priced!AWESOME ART - For reals, yo. The art and animation is super nice!---------------------------------------------------------------------------So are you going to be playing Jotun? Post your feels and thoughts! Speak your mind ~Jotun websiteJotun Steam pageBy the way - Jotun is on sale for %10 off ($13.49USD), until October 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derin Darkpaw Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Game looks really neat. I enjoyed Titan's Souls a lot and I am looking forward to a game with a similar vibe of facing off against seemingly impossible odds. The game is going on my wishlist and I will be picking it up when it goes on a good sale definitely if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolflich Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Looks interesting. Is the soundtrack any good? I notice that's there as DLC.Also I'm surprised it lists 4GB of RAM in the otherwise pretty tiny system requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewge Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 The music is pretty good! It's worth buying if you're into orchestral stuffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolflich Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hm... it does run on my OS but the sound and graphics are both somewhat distorted (more the sound than the graphics). Pity. Maybe I'll try again someday when my drivers have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Currently playing through it and almost done. One more area to go and I think two boss fights? Not sure yet.Game is gorgeous as fuck with some wonderful production values. love the Norse mythology too. Bosses are hard as fuck and a bit annoying, but I don't have the fortitude for games like this, typically. Playing it to review for a website.I will say, the game feels a bit empty at points, and it's very short. I'll probably be clocking out at five hours.YMMV there of course.Still, worth grabbing. IT IS SO PRETTY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewge Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 @Conker Nice analysis! I agree it can be a bit empty at times. But honestly, I feel like they probably left it like that so that you can just explore and admire the artwork. It's not really trying to be a game that's all action, all the time.

Though for a game that isn't all action all the time, having your protag carry around a giant axe feels like some mixed messaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows lugging heavy weapons is great for that :v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewge Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah. They can be a bit stressful and annoying, but it's a nice feel once you down them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maug Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 looks pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Finally beat the game. Clocked in at around 7 hours, maybe a bit more. Last hour and a half was on the last boss who is a complete pain in the ass.I enjoyed the game though, and I'll be doing a review for it for a small site I write for.I encourage others to try it out, mostly for the art and viking lore. Both are top fucking notch. Plus, it's an interesting little game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
