Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the perfect opportunity for Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel to grow and evolve with the support of our community. It allows us to gather feedback and insights directly from our dedicated players, helping us refine gameplay, introduce new features, and expand the game in alignment with our vision.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it's difficult to estimate, we’re considering a timeframe of around six months for the full release, though it’s not set in stone.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is planned to build upon the Early Access foundation with a broader scope and enhanced features. We aim to include additional levels, introduce more unique heroes, and expand the gameplay with new challenges and mechanics. Players can also look forward to more nordic gods lending them their powers, adding strategic depth to the experience. Additionally, we plan to create community-driven events and polish the overall experience to ensure a rich and engaging journey. Our goal is to evolve the game in ways that resonate with our players while staying true to our vision.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel includes four playable heroes, two distinct levels, and core gameplay mechanics. While the game is fully playable and enjoyable in its current state, we are actively working on adding new content, improving existing systems, and refining the overall experience based on community feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to offer Jotunnslayer: Hodes of Hel at a lower price during Early Access to reward our early supporters and to encourage player participation and feedback. As we add more content, features, and polish to the game, the price will increase to reflect the additional value and improved experience.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement has been integral to Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel from the very start. We are committed to collaborating with our players throughout development by actively engaging on our official Discord server and subreddit, as well as gathering valuable insights through an in-game survey.”

Will progression carry over to the 1.0 release?

We are not planning to reset progression during Early Access. That being said, there is a small chance we may have to revert our position on this.

Stay tuned to our community channels for any updates!

When will achievements be added to the game?

Initially, we had planned to include them at the Early Access launch. However, since there's a slight possibility we might need to adjust progression during this phase (even though it’s not currently planned), we felt it wouldn’t make sense to introduce achievements just yet.

Instead, we’ve implemented a trophy system as an interim solution during Early Access. This allows us the flexibility to refine progression while still rewarding players. We’d love to hear your thoughts - feel free to share your feedback with us

Hey, can I help you localise the game to more languages?

Thank you for your interest in localization. While we appreciate community translation efforts, we cannot accept them due to ongoing updates and our quality assurance requirements. You're welcome to modify language files for personal use.

Can we share this translation on mods services like NexusMods?

You are welcome to modify languages files for personal use, however, at this time we ask you not to share these for the reasons outlined previously.

We'll be reviewing our policy on supporting mods in the near future.

How does the Twitch Integration work?

Twitch Integration Guide:

  • Enable Twitch integration in the game options

  • Enter Twitch channel username, when prompted to add a code, this must be in lowercase

  • A few moments later, the 'hordesofhelbot' will appear in chat, you need to enable moderator access for the bot

  • Once enabled, streamers see choices/votes in the game

  • Chat window on Twitch will show which votes were successful

  • At the moment, skills, objectives, rerolls work best - rewards less so

We would appreciate your feedback on this integration on Discord and Steam.

Do you use AI-generated content in the game?

No, all the content in the game is created by our developers. In the very early stages of the demo, we used a few AI-generated artworks as placeholders, but they have since been replaced with hand-crafted assets.

Multiplayer or co-op mode? I'd love to play with friends!

We hear you! :)

While we would love to bring multiplayer or co-op modes to Jotunnslayer as soon as possible, our main priority right now is delivering a stable single-player experience. We are working on early prototypes for these modes, but decisions on co-op and multiplayer will be made after the Early Access release, based on player feedback and testing results.

What is the planned timeline for Early Access?

The Early Access period will feature regular updates, starting with Jotunnheim (Update 1, coming very soon), followed by new weapons and god in Update 2. Major additions like new heroes and environments will arrive in Update 3, leading up to the final 1.0 release, which will introduce Helheim, a powerful new god, and an Endless Mode for limitless replayability.

Will the price change after Early Access?

Yes, the price will increase when the game leaves Early Access. The current Early Access price is $9.99 | €9.99 | £8.49. (Regional pricing applies) Players who purchase during Early Access will keep the game at this lower price and receive all future updates. For those looking to show additional support, our Founder's Edition includes exclusive Legendary Character Skins, Digital Artbook, and Original Soundtrack

How can players report bugs or provide feedback?

We highly encourage players to join our Discord server for bug-reports or visit the Community Forums to report bugs and share feedback. Your input is invaluable in shaping the game's future - thank you for being part of the journey!

What content is included in the Early Access version?

At launch, Early Access includes four distinct heroes - Berserker, Seeress, Revenant, and the Flame Sister - battling across the fiery realm of Muspelheim and the icy wastes of Niflheim. Players can wield divine powers from four legendary Norse gods in this visually stunning horde-survivor experience.

What is your refund policy?

Refunds are handled directly by the platform where you purchased the game, such as Steam, Epic Games Store, or other vendors. Unfortunately, we as the developer/publisher cannot process refunds directly. Please refer to the refund policies of the respective platform for assistance.

Are there plans for physical merchandise or collector's editions?

At the moment, there are no plans for physical merchandise or collector's editions. However, you can support us further by purchasing the Founders Edition, which includes the game, an artbook, the soundtrack, and a set of legendary skins!

Are there any restrictions on streaming or creating content based on the game?

No, you are free to stream and create content based on the game! We encourage you to share your experiences and creativity with the community.
