JOTUN WAS FREE TO GET ON STEAM FOR A LIMITED TIME!
It was actually this weekend and if you at least put the game onto your steam library in this time period it is now permanently in your account. The full name of the game is Jotun: Valhalla edition and it costs 14.99$. As someone who likes to hold as many games as possible on steam this was a really nice gesture from the developers.
The game started on a crowdfunding website called KickStarter and it got over 60000 canadian dollars from people that were interested in this game and wanted it to be brought to life.
Jotun is a indie hand-drawn action and exploration game set in Norse mythology. Thora, the main character has died in an inglorious death (she drowned) and with the second chance she wants to prove herself to the gods themselves that she is worth to go to the Valhalla.
The mission is simple - you have to kill five big creatures. They are called Jotun and are enemies of gods. Even though it looks like the game will be action packed it is mostly about the exploration and few puzzles. The game will take you just a few hours to finish, but you will be immersed into it the whole time. The game is drawn beautifully.
The boss fights can remind you of Dark Souls. Every boss is different and you have to find their weaknesses. The game also have a great icelandic voice over.
However the game has it's flaws. The camera movement is horrible sometimes. The game is also missing some kind of tutorial on the start of the game. I spent few minutes on the second screen as I didn't even know where to go and what to do.
And even though the game looks amazing, there is not that much to do. It is same with bosses. They are different, but it is still very easy to beat them. You also have just one weapon and two attacks.
Even with all of this I think it is a good game that you should try and complete if you like it. I had my entertainment with this game.
I am thankful for the opportunity to play it. Hopefully promotions like this will happen more often on steam with games that I am more interested in, wink wink. :)
Were you also the lucky ones and got this game?
Thank you!
