Helheim Hassle is an excellent puzzle platformer with an amusingly written script and detachable limbs. Get to it.
Helheim Hassle is a fun and quirky puzzle platforming game where you get to control your limbs and head separate from your body. With a beautiful hand drawn look, Vikings and a great sense of humour this game is a lot of fun and full of extra content to keep you busy for a long time.
Using dismembered limbs to solve puzzles has never been this much fun, and aside from a few fiddly control issues, this fresh, original and highly irreverent comic book adventure through an alternative Nordic afterlife is highly recommended.
Hellheim Hassle is a must-play for fans of platformers. Some fiddly controls aside, it's a wonderfully dark and funny adventure that’s well worth going out on a limb for.
Helheim Hassle oozes charm and is a fun, short light-hearted romp. Some minor frustrations do sour the experience but they’re the exception to the rule. It has great characters and is worth the price.
As a puzzle-platformer, it’s got some issues. But as a Monkey Island-style adventure game trapped in the body of a puzzle-platformer, it’s interesting — and funny — enough that it’s more than possible to overlook those flaws.
The idea of solving puzzles
with detachable limbs is
interesting, but the execution
is a bit simple. Since you can’t
take a single step without
having to solve another puzzle,
the satisfaction of overcoming
them is pretty short-lived, too.
However, Helheim Hassle offers
some excellent, goofy dialogue
and characters, so solving
puzzles can feel like something
you have to get over with in
order to get to those bits. The
game lives off its cartoony,
over-the top art style and
absurd situations. Its humour is
its biggest strength – dry and
self-deprecating, sometimes
reminiscent of adventure
classics like Monkey Island.
While the puzzles are a bit of a
letdown, on the whole
you get an entertaining
game with a few great
laughs. [Issue@#185, p.82]

Summary Helheim Hassle is a narrative adventure game with puzzle platforming elements. Play as Bjørn, a pacifist Viking that can detach and combine limbs at will to solve challenging puzzles and get out of uncomfortable situations involving desperate Norse Gods, Goblins, Dragons, and angry skeletons.
