Jotun makes a strong impact early on and the hits keep rolling as the game lurches forward with each heavy axe swing.
A true gem that could have been polished a little more. Fun, hard and beautiful are the three words that could define Jotun, if you are ready to battle it's gigantic bosses and it's slow rhythm.

Jotun is a fantastic game, with beautifully draw graphics and an amazingly interesting story. It is one of those games you can say its not only about fun but learning as well.
It is a relatively short game but that is not a negative point. The challenge is average and it provides insight and tactic combat.
I would love RPGs creators to take ideas used in Jotun, like the graphics and animations. This is one of the art that I keep missing from recent titles. A cartoon animation fits this game wonderfully.
By means if you enjoy hand drawn graphics and action/adventure games, Jotun is one of those titles that you would remember for some time.

Kinda short but I loved the story-telling and the atmosphere of this game in its original version.
Fighting the gods can be harsh, but in the end, I still had memorable fights, an interesting game play and good memories with this one.
Yes, the map isn't perfect but it's kinda obvious you have to learn how to use it and understand it. Use your brain and sense of observation and you get it...

A fantastic game that had some incredible moments. The world design is awesome, and uses some clever ways of revealing the scope of the worlds you explore. The bosses are the key moments of the game. They are gigantic, interesting and varied. I would have liked to have seen a bit more combat variation and wished that movement felt a bit quicker, but in general it’s a game that’s well worth checking out.
It’s a wonderful, dazzling little world Thunder Lotus created, and you just might learn something while you’re playing.
Mythology fans that like a good challenge, including discovering everything through trial and error, will love this game.
Exploration and adventuring are just fine in Jotun, but the heavy backtracking ad the overall lack of content sometimes are deeply felt.
Overall, Jotun is a very visual game with a very memorable art style that offers a well rounded combat system in a setting that does its best to stay true to its real-life inspirations but finds itself lacking in the plot department which is a genuine shame because it's clear that Thunder Lotus Games put a lot of time and passion into this kick-starter funded project.
Jotun es un juego bien hecho. Bien logrado.
Ambientado en la mitología escandinava (mi favorita), nos cuenta la historia de Thora, una vikinga que muere ahogada, sin honor, pero que los Dioses le dan una oportunidad de impresionarlos y para eso ella debe enfrentarse a los poderosos Jotun (Gigantes). El juego es corto, deberás pasar 2 etapas por "mundo" y luego enfrentarte al Jotun jefe de la zona, a excepción del primer jefe que solo tiene 1 etapa. Las etapas en general no tienen enemigos, pero si puedes encontrar ciertos peligros que te pueden matar, como asaltos de gigantescos monstruos, o verte en un entorno totalmente hostil. La finalidad de recorrer estas etapas es la de encontrar la Runa que permitirá abrir la puerta para poder enfrentarte al Jotun y además se enfoca en poder explorar la zona para encontrar bendiciones de los Dioses (poderes) y las manzanas de Idunn que te aumentarán la vida total.
Ahora bien, los escenarios poseen puzzles simples, pero entretenidos y el apartado visual del juego junto con la Música van muy a tono, entregándo una gran experiencia para el jugador. El otro punto fuerte (y que tenía que serlo) es la de los jotun, tanto su diseño como la forma en la que tendrás que combatirlos es simplemente épica, aunque la mecánica de pelea es super simple, deberás esforzarte bastante para poder derrotarlos (hubo un Jotun en particular que me costó muchísimo). Una vez que hayas derrotado a los 5 Jotun, deberás verte cara a cara contra un Dios y así ganarte tu lugar en el valhalla y que tambíen es una pelea un tanto exigente, hasta que pude finalmente dar con la mejor forma de encararlo.
En resumen, es un juego entretenido, corto, enfocado en explorar y enfrentar Bosses, con un bello apartado visual, excelente animación y música, además los personajes hablan en un idioma escandinavo (no reconozco cual es), pero que debo recomendar principalmente a quienes conozcan un poco de la mitología nórdica, porque si no sabes nada de nada, muchas cosas no signifcarán nada para ti, en cambio yo por ejemplo disfrute DEMASIADO, ver plasmado a una especie de Surt el jotun de fuego por ejepmplo, o ser atacado por la serpiente Jörmundgander, o ver Ratatösk y a Níðhöggr, recorrer el Yggdrasil, pasearme por Niðavellir o por Muspelheim. Realmente los disfrute a concho, espero que sigan saliendo más juegos ambientados en esta tan rica mitología.
Que mejoraria? bueno obviamente hubiese sido mejor haber tenido 10 bosses y no 5, por decir algo, uno queda con ganas de más y mucho más, ese sería el aspecto negativo que le daría al juego.
8.8/10

Bello è bello, boss di grande impatto, altalenante nel giocare le parti di perlustrazione un po' labirintiche, perla artigianale come tale qualche parte grezza. Avventura da vivere nella sua durezza (si anche nella difficoltà ... attualmente rimandato il boss finale, ero senza tutti i poteri e non lo sapevo, riperlustrare le zone per l'ennessima volta no ... quindi chissà) .

Jotun is a game that contains an amazing art style, with good music and an interesting plot. And that's about it. You play as Thora, a viking, in a world of giants, everything seens huge and you look insignificant, specially at boss encounters. However, the art style ins't interesting enough to supress the boring gameplay featured in Jotun.
The gameplay consists in you going through diferent stages, and finding a rune, optionally you can find an health increasing item and an active god power. The problem is that these stages are so empty that you'll find yourself running around like a freaking idiot without having any action. There is a level called Vethrfolnir's Roost, where all you do is running around and occasionally you'll be attacked by some bird. That's it, you just gotta run. Every time you find 2 runes you can fight a boss and these giant guys are supposed to be the strong point of this game. They are quite epic too fight, but some fights are so chaotic that you end up losing yourself, and that happened plenty times in my gameplay.
There are many games that try to be a piece of art instead of focusing in it's gameplay, and sometimes it actually works, but Jotun ins't one of those times. You'll find yourself either hating or loving this one, but most likely, hating.

Summary Jotun is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology. In Jotun, you play Thora, a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. Impress the Gods.
