Jotun valhalla edition release date9/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Abilities are what you would expect: a healing spell, speed boost, stronger attacks etc. A standout section for me was one of the levels in the Hagalaz storm section where you have to hit gems that bridge lightning in an attempt to copy constellations.Īs well as finding the runes there are also abilities and health upgrades to find throughout the game, none of which are compulsory but will really help you on your quest for honour. I never found these sections particularly difficult, there is a rudimentary map that can help you find what you need and I never died to anything other than a boss. Within these levels you’re either making your way through hazardous areas full of poison or fighting off dwarves. There’s no jump button so the exploring sections are more about making your way through maze like areas, usually hunting for switching or choosing the correct path. To reach a boss you must first find the two ruins in their sub-levels. Each of the five areas are split into two levels that help break up the boss fights. There are five Jotun’s in the game (plus a special boss at the end), each of which are elemental giants which is reflected in the land they inhabit and their abilities: Jera for nature, Fe for cave, Isa for winter, Hagalaz for storm and Kaunan for fire. The rest of the story, primarily Thora’s past, is revealed through dialogue as you collect runes and travel through Niflheim. You awaken in Niflheim, the Norse version of purgatory, and must defeat Jotun’s, giant Norse elementals, to prove yourself to the God’s and enter Valhalla. In Jotun you play as Thora, a Viking warrior who dies an inglorious death at the beginning of the game by falling into the sea. This Switch release is a port of the Valhalla Edition which came out a year after the original, other than that the only differences for this version are ‘remastered’ graphics and optimisation for handheld mode. When Jotun by Thunder Lotus Games originally came out in 2015, after a successful kickstarter campaign, this genre was just starting to see a revival with the likes of Titan Souls and Cuphead. One of the most popular and genre defining examples is Shadow of the Colossus, which is a mix of exploration, puzzles and boss battling. Adventurers can also glance down at the map without having to pause the game, allowing for seamless exploration.There is a growing sub-category of games where you nearly all of the game is made up of only fighting bosses. You can use the Wii U GamePad touch screen to quickly and accurately activate God Powers in the heat of battle, making those split-second decisions more manageable. Increase your health bar by consuming life-giving apples that hang only from legendary trees, and visit the rejuvenating Mimir wells when you grow weary of battling. ![]() Strike fear into the heart of your enemies with thunderous hammers and razor-sharp spears, shield yourself with the spirit of Heimdall or replenish your health with Frigg’s gift of healing. Fight like a godĪlong your journey, head off the beaten track to seek out Shrines and receive almighty God Powers. Evade their devastating blows and magical spells with desperate dodges, then smite them where they stand with strikes of your two-handed axe. These hulking elementals possess unimaginable brute strength and powerful abilities, but their gigantic size and sluggishness makes them vulnerable to the nimble feet of Thora. Each battle against the formidable jotun is an epic struggle against the odds, putting your nerves, reflexes and courage to the test. ![]()
