"Jotun is a game far more inspired by Team Ico’s Shadow of the Colossus than it is by the soaring wave of popularity surrounding Thor. The game’s lead is a Norse woman for one and the fact that her name is ‘Thora’ in a time when Marvel have decided to make Thor’s comics counterpart a woman (also named Thor) is a happy coincidence I’m told, but in all honesty, the similarities end there.
Thora wields a mahoosize blade from the get-go and gameplay is a mix between death-defying feats of wit, bravery and willpower against giants (those would be the ‘Jotun‘ then) and puzzles that see you embrace runes, shrines and the gods of Norse mythology as Thora fights her way out of Purgatory and into Valhalla. So with that enough to whet my axe-wielding appetite I decided to talk to the game’s designer, Will Dubé, to find out more."
Spiritfarer, the "cozy management game about dying," has surpassed 500,000 copies sold worldwide, developer Thunder Lotus Games announced.
Ha I got the Platinum and finished the collections yesterday and deleted the game this morning. What unfortunate timing!
SpiritFarer is an indie management game about dying. It is developed by Thunder Lotus Games. This is not the type of game that I would have predicted to come out of this studio as their previous games: Jotun and Sundered are both combat heavy action games with a dark narrative.
Mojoverse Games Review: Spiritfarer, created by Thunder Lotus Games, released on Steam, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One simultaneously on August 18th, 2020. You play as Stella, a ferrymaster to the deceased, along with your cat companion Daffodil. Build rooms for your spirit guests and fulfill their final wishes before guiding them to the beyond. My review bellow is from the Nintendo Switch version in cooperative mode.
Wow, one of the few games I'm genuinely interested in on Kickstarter. That scale of the player vs the ice giant is incredible. Hopefully the combat is awesome.
