Critic Reviews for Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel
A seriously slick and polished Survivors-like, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel should be considered a must-play if you're a fan of the genre. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but with an injection of Norse mythology and a cool quest mechanic, it does just enough to stand out.
Brave warriors raised by Slovak developers and with the support of the Norse gods set out among monsters and gigantic Jotuns. If you are a fan of auto battler games, Jotunnslayer might entertain you. Although somewhere above it stands Achilles: Survivor, which has somewhat richer content, extra gameplay elements and half the price tag.

Jotunnslayer excels at creating a solid gameplay loop with considerable replay value in regard to progression. Each class has its own abilities that truly feel unique, even if they still rely on the varied Norse Gods' powers in the same way. Fans of the genre may be burnt out by the wave of copycats within the genre, but with the impressive visuals, addictive God powers, it certainly helps it stand out from the pack, and its time to refine itself in Early Access has paid off significantly.
Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is a Norse-myth roguelike bullet hell with varied classes, distinctive maps, and satisfying bosses, but thin long-term progression and weak tracking/unlocks sap its staying power. The fun is in short bursts rather than long grinds.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is the best rouguelike we’ve played this year, that truly goes gun blazing with the gore and violent side of the Nordic culture, and puts the players in a very smartly designed progression based roguelike run that is guaranteed to have your attention until the last second on the clock. While the graphics and the OSTs are just right, this entire package at just ₹550 is unbelievable and an absolute steal deal.
If you’re a big fan of bullet heaven shooters, do keep an eye out for Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, though perhaps it’s not quite an essential buy just yet.
