Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is a roguelike horde-survivor game developed by Games Farm, a renowned Slovak studio with over 20 released titles and multiple industry awards.

The game offers four unique character classes, each with distinct weapons and abilities. Players choose a map (currently two available in early access) and face increasingly difficult waves of enemies while managing a countdown timer.

Core Features:

• Dual progression system: God levels (divine abilities) and Class levels (character-specific skills)
• Strategic customization with limited ability slots: 3 God autocasts, 2 Class autocasts, and 6 passive abilities
• Two currency types: Crystals for new weapons and Gold for skill points and ability evolution

The main objective is summoning and defeating the Jotunn through completing sequential objectives. While waiting periods between objectives can slow momentum, they provide opportunities for character development.

Strengths:

• Satisfying progression system
• Balanced difficulty curve
• Engaging combat mechanics
• Meaningful character customization

Areas for Improvement:

• Timer system can feel restrictive
• Pacing between objectives needs refinement
• Could benefit from quick-completion rewards
