    When 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.

    The 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.
