Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel looks a lot like an old-school dungeon crawler, albeit without all that time spent micro-managing loadouts in menus. Instead what we’re getting here is a fast and frantic rougelike where you’ll need to use all of the tools at your disposal to survive deadly, unending hordes of enemies across gorgeously gothic arenas.
Inspired by Norse mythology, the new trailer showcased two of the arenas (including the all-new Muspelheim) that you’ll be able to battle across. What really caught my eye however were the four-playable characters, from the axe-wielding Berserker to curse-happy Seeress, giving you plenty of different opportunities to overcome what developer GamesFarm is calling the ‘ultimate trial by fire and ice’. The action looks hectic and challenging, and there seems to be plenty of variety on offer with the different characters and progression systems – seeking favor from iconic lords of Norse mythology helping to further hone your preferred playstyle.
