Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel has emerged from the depths of Norse mythology, launching into Early Access for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store at $9.99 | €9.99. Developed by Games Farm and published by Grindstone, this roguelike horde-survivor invites players to battle gods, giants, and mythic beasts across two perilous realms inspired by the dark and fiery corners of Viking lore.

Choose your hero
Jotunnslayer offers four distinct protagonists, each with a compelling backstory and unique abilities:
- Berserker: Driven by bloodlust, wielding an axe in the quest for infamous glory.
- Revenant: A wolf-spirit hunter, striking down any who betrayed it.
- Flame Sister: Channeling Loki’s fiery magic to scorch foes.
- Seeress: A master of dark arts, challenging even the ancients.
A tale of two realms
Players will traverse Muspelheim, the burning domain of Surt, and Niflheim, the mist-shrouded underworld beneath the world tree. Along the way, they can call upon the powers of four legendary Norse gods:
- Odin: All-Father, strategist of war and magic.
- Freya: Queen of Valkyries, champion of life and renewal.
- Thor: God of thunder, armed with lightning might.
- Loki: Trickster deity, conjurer of chaos and fire.
