Sep 15, 2025I found myself slowly falling in love with the game the longer I played it. I’ve never been particularly drawn to roguelike games, but this one really captured my attention and offered a fresh perspective on the genre. Not to mention, the backdrop setting of Norse mythology, of which I am fond, was definitely a good way to keep me playing and going back for more. For anyone who likes roguelikes or horde-survival games, I would definitely recommend adding this to the collection.

Sep 3, 2025A seriously slick and polished Survivors-like, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel should be considered a must-play if you're a fan of the genre. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but with an injection of Norse mythology and a cool quest mechanic, it does just enough to stand out.

Sep 8, 2025The gameplay loop in Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is as enjoyable and addictive as you'd expect from a good roguelike. But its uninventive level design and the inevitable repetitiveness of objectives can, in the medium term, diminish motivation and interest, as players must stick to the theme to stay engaged in a game that pays little attention to deepening any underlying narrative threads.

Sep 11, 2025When you start playing Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel, you accept the risk that a quick 15-minute run could turn into an hour of gameplay, or even more. Both classic and original at the same time, its formula hooks us in for a successful journey.
