About the Game

THE GODS ARE DEAD

Odin killed them. Every last one.

In a final, unthinkable Blót at the sacred barrow, the All-Father drained the lifeblood of his own pantheon. Thor, Loki, Tyr and even Jörmungandr were sacrificed to thwart Ragnarök.

You are their revenge. And you remember everything.

FAST, BRUTAL AND RELENTLESS

Blotbarrow is a hack and slash roguelite with one vs. many combat. Hundreds of enemies on screen. Legendary Weapons that hit like trucks. Builds that escalate from "strong" to "screen-clearing" inside a single run.

You won't be careful. You'll be unstoppable.

LEGENDARY WEAPONS

Mjölnir. Gungnir. Gram. The legendary arsenal of the Nine Realms is scattered across your path. Every weapon plays differently and reshapes your entire build around it. Find the one that fits how you fight, or learn something new every run.

POWERS OF THE FALLEN GODS

The dead don't stay quiet. As you cut through Odin's forces, the shattered powers of the slain gods bleed into you:

THOR'S THUNDER

LOKI'S DECEPTIONS

TYR'S UNBREAKABLE DEFENSE

JÖRMUNGANDR'S VENOM

MANY MORE HIDDEN DEEP IN THE REALMS

Pick different abilities. Combine them. Stack them and break the game.

DEATH IS THE LOOP

You're going to die. A lot. That's the point.

Every death pays out in gold and materials. Spend them between runs on permanent upgrades, new weapons, and starting loadouts. The Odin who killed you yesterday isn't ready for who you'll be tomorrow.

THE ALL-FATHER WAITS

At the top of the Blotbarrow sits the god who started all of this. He's stronger than anything you've fought. He knows you're coming. Climb the mound. Take the throne. End the age of Odin.
