Character animations are fluid and expressive and the massive bosses look simply sumptuous. Indeed it reminded me very much of the Core Design viking game, Heimdall which also used a similar isometric approach to gameplay, but was more of a roleplaying game. Characters are all hand animated in a style very reminiscent of Don Bluth. Coupled with the music, this approach adds a very “storytelling” feel to the narrative, and the use of native tongue rather than accented English works really well.īut the first thing that strikes about Jotun is how damn colourful it is. As the player guides Thora in her afterlife quest, the story unfolds, narrated by the character herself in Norse with subtitles in English. Waking up at the roots of Yggdrasil, the life tree, Thora must explore areas of the nine realms, gain godlike powers and defeat six massive bosses. Playing as a Viking Shieldmaiden, Thora, the player is, in the opening scene, drowned at sea in a storm. Now it’s the Switch’s turn with this updated Valhalla Edition. Originally launching on PC in 2015, Wii U, PS4 and XBox One versions followed in 2016. Jotun is a game that brings all of that together in a visually stunning package.
