![]() L’histoire est vraiment intéressante et surtout visuellement bien amenée grâce à un style graphique dessiné à la main. Jotun propose à la fois du challenge pour ses boss tous plus différents les uns que les autres et un côté instructif pour la représentation des croyances liées à la mythologie dites vikings. L’histoire en révèle un peu plus sur les dieux ainsi que sur son parcours personnel. Pour se faire, elle se retrouve confrontée à des dieux de la mythologie nordique (tels que Freyja, Thor ou encore Odin pour ne citer que les plus connus). On y incarne une guerrière viking dans son parcours vers Vahllala (l’équivalent du paradis). Either way Thunder Lotus have created an art and gameplay masterpiece I absolutely recommend this one if you like boss fights.Ħh PlayedJotun – Un bijou nordique Jotun est un jeu d’aventure mêlée au style « boss rush ». Several achievement challenges and the one-hit-kill "Valhalla Mode" exist for extra challenge. Five bosses may seem short but I got about 10 hours out of this game and I think the game felt complete after the final confrontation. I only noticed two bugs in the whole game, which didn't derail it at all. ![]() It's hard not to get distracted by the gorgeous hand-drawn boss artwork in particular the art seems like it was plucked straight from a big budget Disney film. The sound and visuals are spellbinding - the devotion to Viking mythology in the art and voice acting is palpable. Movement may initially seem slow but this only adds to the tension of the fight. Each boss is preceded by two adventure levels which neatly foreshadow the boss' attacks while you hunt for treasures in them. Gameplay difficulty is pitched perfectly, and the five bosses are beatable before they can become frustrating. This game was funded by the Canada Media Fund judging by this and the glorious Guacamelee!, they clearly have a very good eye for quality games. So it impressed me even beyond what I was expecting.11h PlayedA reasonably tough, absolutely beautiful top-down adventure in which you seek to topple the mighty Jotun. Not only can I live out some of my Norse fantasies, but there is a solid boss destroying experience to be had as well. But this game, for $14.99, is a very great experience for the price. So the news that the studio’s next game will be a “metroidvania” game has me really excited. The game could have used a lot more exploration just to spend more time in this beautiful world and discover even more gods and monsters. But there is no doubt that the star of the show is its art style. The music was also surprisingly well done for such a small studio, and it definitely added to the feeling of an epic myth being played out on the screen. The voice talent was very well done and it was really great to have it not be English with some vaguely European accent, like many games do. The only real complaint I have about the game is that the controls didn’t feel as tight as I would like them to be for such a difficult experience. It is only about 4-5 hours long, and most of that is the 6 boss fights. The game itself is still a wonderful and tight experience. That being said, the mode does still work so I won’t knock it for being something that I didn’t need. Surfing, Viking style, while Jörmungandr looks on. It would not feel out of place in the Poetic Edda(a copy of which I have on my bookshelf). Not just in the fact that it could have happened in a world where Norse mythology was true, but especially in that how it’s told fits in very well with the other stories we have from that world. Almost more importantly, however, is that it also felt very accurate in its portrayal. ![]() They did a really good job with it, and it definitely rattled me emotionally. Because the story is pared down to its very basic elements with little exposition, it is even more important to have a solid foundation. ![]() Instead of sitting back in a mead hall served by the Valkyrie, she is spending her afterlife fighting even more difficult battles than she fought in life. Not quite the Valhalla you may expect after dying as a Viking warrior. She has been tasked with proving herself before them in order to get a chance to enact her revenge upon those who have wronged her. And that forms the reason why she is combating all the Norse gods. It’s not a spoiler to say that she dies, because that is the very opening of the game. The short story sequences after every boss are quite satisfying. ![]()
