Jotun: Valhalla Edition is a beautifully designed indie action-adventure game developed and published by Thunder Lotus Games. It was first released in September 2015 and a definitive “Valhalla Edition” was later released in July 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. The game is heavily inspired by Norse mythology and takes players on a journey through the afterlife of a Viking warrior trying to prove themselves to the gods in order to enter Valhalla, the heavenly realm of warriors.
Gameplay
In Jotun, players control Thora, a Viking warrior who died a dishonorable death and must defeat giant bosses in order to prove herself worthy to enter Valhalla. The gameplay is a mix of exploration, puzzle solving, and boss battles. Thora is armed with a trusty axe and a limited range of other abilities that she unlocks through defeating bosses. The controls are simple yet satisfying, making the battles with the giants feel like an epic struggle.
The game is divided into 9 levels, each representing a different Norse realm, from the icy peaks of Jotunheim to the fiery depths of Muspelheim. Each level is beautifully crafted with gorgeous hand-drawn landscapes and stunning animations. The attention to detail in the artwork really immerses players into the Norse world. The music and sound effects are also perfect, adding to the overall atmosphere of the game.
Boss Battles
The highlight of Jotun: Valhalla Edition is its epic boss battles. Each boss is unique, with their own attacks and weaknesses. Defeating a boss requires strategy and skillful timing, as well as knowing when to use Thora’s abilities. These battles are challenging but never unfair, and each victory is incredibly satisfying. The boss designs are based on actual figures from Norse mythology, making them even more intriguing for players interested in the lore.
Valhalla Edition Features
The Valhalla Edition of Jotun includes the original game plus some extra features. This edition includes a new Valhalla Mode which is a harder version of the game with new enemies and tougher boss battles. There is also a new boss rush mode where players can take on all 9 bosses in a row for added challenge. Additionally, the game now has a Valhalla Map that players can explore to learn more about Norse mythology and unlock hidden secrets.
Verdict
Jotun: Valhalla Edition is a must-play for fans of action-adventure games and Norse mythology. It’s a beautifully crafted game with challenging and satisfying gameplay. The addition of the Valhalla features adds even more value to an already fantastic game. Thunder Lotus Games has truly created a masterpiece with their attention to detail and passion for Norse mythology.
“Jotun is an exceptional adventure by any standard, because, at its core, it’s the mythic journey of a wanderer and you’re lost in the style of Thunder Lotus Games’ incredible animation, no matter how old Thora might become.” – Push Square
If you’re looking for a visually stunning and engaging game with a rich Norse mythology theme, Jotun: Valhalla Edition is the perfect choice. It’s a true gem in the world of indie games and definitely worth playing.
