Listen, I know it's boring for all of us when journos describe a game just by listing a load of other games it's like, but sometimes the inspirations are so clear that it's really unavoidable. I'm afraid that's definitely the case with Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, newly released into Early Access, so just let me get it out of my system in one big word vomit, yeah? VAMPIRE SURVIVORS DIABLO 4 HADES GOD OF WAR. Phew, that's better.
Still, even newly released into Steam Early Access, Jotunnslayer already feels like more than just the sum of its influences. This is yet another clever and creative take on the rapidly evolving auto-shooter genre that's followed in Vampire Survivors' wake.
