Jotun: Valhalla Edition

I've been a huge fan of the other Thunder Lotus titles I've touched, and Jotun: Valhalla Edition's quality stands neatly in line with the rest, especially considering it is their debut game. The combat is immensely satisfying and chunky: Powerful and yet agonizingly slow attack windups generate an uninterrupted stream of thrilling moments and a feeling of nervous awe as you engage staggeringly huge enemies in melee combat. If your massive attacks land, they can interrupt some enemy attacks, or stagger the bosses into vulnerable states, and thankfully you can always roll out of if you get overwhelmed, which will happen often without you acquiring the Power of the Gods. Very similar to Sundered: Eldritch edition, Thunder Lotus have mixed particularly addicting and charming boss design, massive aoe attacks, and spawns of huge enemy hordes, seemingly with ease. I personally can't help but replay the fights just to rewatch the animations, and maybe swing that axe a little faster, more efficiently, even gracefully the next time. My gripes are limited: The dash attack is amazing, and gives you huge thrusting reach at a moment's notice, but it sadly only articulates towards the direction you roll. Both the light and heavy attack should be bound to R1 and R2 Powers could be swapped with the D-pad. It's not efficient whatsoever that power swapping currently commandeers all 4 shoulder buttons. It's atrocious. While their newer games like Spiritfarer are more fluid, this game proudly displays simple mechanics with surprising vibrancy, and some beautiful voice work compels you to explore the world and story as much as possible. This game needs a DLC badly; it's too good and I need more!

Un juego divertido, con grandes combates contra jefes y un grandioso arte. Además, la ambientación nórdica y las voces en inglés están muy logradas y consiguen sumergirte en el mundo que te enseñan. Lo más negativo son los niveles previos a cada jefe, ya que no todos tienen la misma calidad, y aunque hay algunos muy buenos otros se hacen un poco aburridos.

O jogo tem um visual sensacional, porém o gameplay dele me pareceu mto travado

Jogo bom e viciante, parte visual do game está muito boa! Da pra perceber o cuidado ao fazer o jogo. Pena que eu não fui bom o suficiente para matar o chefão final do jogo (não tive habilidade o suficiente)
