Jotun is an upcoming video game developed by Thunder Lotus Games.
Plot
Thora, a recently deceased Viking woman, must impress the gods by defeating them in combat so that she may enter Valhalla.[1]
Gameplay
Jotun uses a hand drawn, frame-by-frame art style.[2] Aside from the boss battles, there are no enemies to fight. Thora collects new powers with each boss she defeats. In between the boss fights, the game features exploration and puzzle solving. Certain bosses have the ability to cover the ground in ice, limiting the player's movements.[3][4] The player has two attacks, the axe swing and chop.[5]
Development
The game was first announced at AT PAX 2015, accompanied by screenshots and a gameplay video. The game will be released in September 2015 on PC, and later on consoles. The game had a successful crowdfunding campaign which raised over $64,000 from 2,299 backers in less than one week. Additional funding came from the Canadian Media Fund and the Montreal Inc Foundation.[6][7]
