Fight off the Hordes Of Hel in the latest roguelike title that is announced with Jötunnslayer: Hordes Of Hel
It looks like it is time for the Norse side of the mythology world out there to have another fun crack at the horde-survivor genre out there with the announcement for Jötunnslayer: Hordes Of Hel. This would be the next title that is in the works for the PC from Games Farm and Grindstone. A new roguelike-style title that will place us all firmly in the realm of the Norse Gods as we head out to engage in all manner of battles and missions. All while facing off against the hordes of Hel and all that means for us out there. Will we all be able to master our skills and call upon the gods at the perfect time? Well, that is what this game is going to aim to give us when it is finally ready to launch out into the world.
As you will be able to see in the announcement trailer for Jötunnslayer: Hordes Of Hel, we are taking on the role of a fallen soul set to suffer in Helheim. That is not how we want to go out, so we will be able to take up arms and face off against all of the other souls that have been tasked with stopping us. Thankfully, it looks like some of the Norse Gods have given some favor to us and we will be able to use it to our advantage and make it out. That or die at the hands of the hordes of Hel and maybe be lucky enough to get out to Valhalla at the very least. It could be worse. We will get to see, though, when a demo for the game drops out there next month so we can start all of the judging then.

As it all looks to me, Jötunnslayer: Hordes Of Hel looks like it is a different twist on title like Hades just with a different set of gods. Given that the other title has been received very well, that does lean on the positive side of things for this one. Even if it does feel like we have been bouncing between Greek and Norse when it comes to the various religions out there. Not a terrible thing, just something I noticed over the last decade of video games. With a bit of Egyptian tossed in randomly too. Maybe if Jötunnslayer: Hordes Of Hel is overly successful, we can dig into some of the others out there that are not Western-based. Others need a time to shine and many are completely overlooked in general, but this is not the place to dive into all of that, for now…
Will you be trying to survive the hordes of Hel when it hits the demo stage or will you hold out for a full release? Which of the gods will we have gained favor with in this one and will the team try to give us all of the minor ones along the way too? Will this be more than a hack-n-slash ordeal for us to survive or will it work with the premise since it has worked in the past? Head into the comment section to discuss all of this and everything else that we have to share. When we have more for Jötunnslayer: Hordes Of Hel, we will do what we can to share it all here. Please come on back to see all of that and every other video game we have to place out there for you too.
