RogueLike Elements



Enemy and item layouts are generated at random for each 'cycle' while platform positions vary slightly.
As you progress in a run the stages which are divided into chapters grow larger, and more labyrinthian.

Character Profile and Growth

Seek and Destroy over 20 Bosses to collect 'Boss tokens' Which apply to your Profile and allow you to level up even further.

Story

Take Control of Hervor, a beserker warrior tasked to find Tyrfing's previous wielder, her father Angantyr.
As she Journeys through the land of the dead, the land of giants, and the land of Dark elves
she unravels a plot to over throw the Norse Gods.

Stages are vast, and filled with Grim Imagery inspired by elements of heavy metal and Nordic legend
