Impress the Gods: Jotun Preview

We journey through Viking purgatory in our preview of Jotun.

From the pits of indie development comes a refreshingly unique scenario for a game. A successful Kickstarter backed game, Jotun lets you take control of a fallen Viking warrior. Now near the gates of Valhalla, you’ll have to “Impress the Gods” to make your way into the holy land. As you can imagine, it won’t be easy. There is harsh weather to conquer as well as giants to slay as you bid tribute to the gatekeepers. From its fluid animation to the gorgeous larger than life levels, Jotun brings a memorable first impression in its current closed beta.

Nick (WoW! Talk!) and Andres (Double Tap) dive into the preview build of this epic 2D exploration game.
