Dying without glory, the Viking warrior Thora has to earn the gods' approval before she can enter Valhalla. Her trial takes her across a Norse purgatory, where she hunts for runes that awaken the jotun, giant elementals she faces armed with a two-handed axe, divine blessings and her own skill.
The game features hand-drawn animation, five jotun boss battles, nine large levels and an overarching story that explores how Thora lived and died. This Valhalla Edition adds Valhalla Mode, which pits you against tougher versions of the jotun. It is single-player with full controller support, suited to action-adventure fans who value exploration and art.
