Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel – A Brutal Norse Roguelike for $9.99!

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel | Title Art

If you’re a fan of Diablo and love the thrill of battling through relentless hordes, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is a game you need on your radar. This roguelike horde-survivor throws you into the depths of Norse mythology, where survival is earned through sheer skill, divine blessings, and brutal combat.

A Norse-Inspired Chaos Fest

Set in the dark realms of Helheim, Jotunnslayer pits you against waves of enemies, each deadlier than the last. You’ll harness the power of Viking deities, unlock devastating abilities, and carve your way through hostile worlds. The game’s fast-paced, action-heavy combat feels like a mix between Diablo and Vampire Survivors, offering that addictive loop of progression and destruction.

Early Access – Get In While You Can

Right now, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is available in Early Access for just $9.99. The developers, Games Farm ARTillery, have made it clear that pricing could change as the game evolves, so if you’re interested, grabbing it now might be the best move.

Why Diablo Fans Will Love It

If Diablo’s dark fantasy, loot-driven combat, and intense battles are your thing, Jotunnslayer delivers a similar rush. While it leans more into the horde-survivor genre, it still captures that grim, atmospheric intensity that makes Diablo so addictive. Plus, the meta-progression system ensures that each run feels fresh, rewarding, and brutally satisfying.

Final Thoughts – Is It Worth It?

For just $9.99, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is a steal for action RPG fans. Whether you’re looking for a new challenge or just want to unleash chaos in a Norse-inspired world, this game delivers. But remember—the price might not stay the same, so if it sounds like your kind of game, jump in now while it’s still in Early Access.

Are you ready to take on the hordes of Hel? Grab your weapons, channel the gods, and fight your way to glory.

Deadzone: Rogue – The Ultimate Summer Co-op Thrill Ride?


(Transmission begins: Space Pod 7, orbiting the gaming galaxy. Snacks? Check. Controller? Check. Let’s talk about Deadzone: Rogue.)

The Perfect Summer Kickoff? Possibly... There’s something magical about finding a game that pulls you in for hours without realizing it. Deadzone: Rogue is exactly that kind of experience. It’s a sci-fi roguelite FPS that throws you into the depths of the ISS-X, a derelict spaceship crawling with rogue machines and deadly threats. The moment you boot it up, you’re in... no fluff, no filler, just pure roguelite action. You get blips of information as you progress, but it isn't presented to you in a fully laid out story in the beginning. Let's dive in!

At $24.99, this game is a steal. But here’s the catch... it’s still in Early Access, and the price might change when v1.0 drops. If you’re even remotely interested, now’s the time to jump in before the final pricing decision is made. The same thing happened with Starnaut. Not sure whether it will increase in price or if they'll change their mind... but I appreciate when developers understand that their game isn't done done so in turn they give early supporters the hook up. This support helps them be able to reach the finishline financially, and just so you know... you aren't obligated to play it ahead of the official release if you'd prefer to wait.

Co-op Gameplay – The Real Test of Skill Solo runs are fun, but co-op mode? That’s where the chaos truly shines. Grab a friend, squad up, and tackle the harder modes together. The game’s difficulty scales beautifully, meaning teamwork is essential. You’ll need to coordinate attacks, share resources, and strategize to survive the relentless waves of enemies.

Deadzone: Rogue Co-Op Mode

The fluid movement and gunplay make every firefight feel exhilarating. Whether you’re dodging enemy fire, chaining elemental attacks, or blasting through hordes, every action feels responsive and rewarding. The only thing missing? Rumble feedback in the controller. But hey, the devs are still working on the game and are open to feedback... so who knows what future updates might bring?

Replay Value – One More Run, Just One More Deadzone: Rogue is the kind of game that keeps you coming back. Every run is different, thanks to its procedural generation and deep progression system. You’ll constantly unlock new weapons, perks, and upgrades, making each session feel fresh. The challenge missions add another layer of depth, ensuring that even seasoned players have something to strive for.

Deadzone: Rogue - Item Orb options

And let’s be real... this is the perfect game to lose yourself in. My last session? Nearly two hours flew by before I even realized it. That’s how easy it is to jump in and lose track of time. The controls make this game even better, it doesn't feel stiff... which has turned me off with some games (especially if there is no reason for it.)

Get in While the Getting Is Good Deadzone: Rogue is still evolving, and the devs at Prophecy Games are listening to the community. The FAQ section even hints that the price may change based on how the game performs and player feedback. Similar things have happened with other games, so if you like what you see, snag it now before v1.0 drops.

So, Space Cadets, if you’re looking for a fast-paced, co-op-friendly, endlessly replayable FPS to kick off the summer, Deadzone: Rogue is one worth considering. Grab your weapons, upgrade your abilities, and dive into the chaos... because in Deadzone, survival is the only mission.

Creature Keeper: A Call to Arms for Aspiring Monster Catchers + Heroes!

Prepare yourself, hero... because Creature Keeper is here to test your mettle. This pixel-perfect adventure brilliantly blends Zelda-style hack-and-slash combat with the addictive creature-collecting theme of Pokémon, creating a world where strategy, bravery, and well-timed sword swings reign supreme!

Fans of classic action RPGs will find themselves right at home, wielding an arsenal of weapons and charged attacks against formidable foes. But the twist is you’re not battling alone! Your hand-picked creatures fight alongside you, forming an unbreakable bond through training, exploration, and shared victories. And trust me, after a few hours of commanding your beastly battalion, you might even start naming them like they’re part of the family. I named my bat... Bruce! It just feels right.

Beyond combat, Creature Keeper offers creature management, a gardening system to cultivate stat-boosting food on the go with your pocket garden, and environmental puzzles that challenge both your reflexes and your wits. I didn't include this in the gameplay but... take a good look at this screenshot. There are different environmental puzzles that will challenge you, but when you figure them out... you'll be happy you did.

This shield can defend and attack! Hyaaaa!!!!!!

The game’s pixel art aesthetic paints an enchanting world that doesn't lcok the design of the world into a grid the same some games are when made with certain game makers. It's no shade... it's no shade, but you can see more freedom of movement with the animated sprites. The soundtrack pulls you in with adventerous rhythms and adds to the fun!

The controls? Effortlessly smooth... so smooth and simple that, before you know it, you’ll be slicing through enemies, mastering team tactics, and setting your sights on the biggest, baddest boss creatures standing in your way.

Heroes don’t want to just wander aimlessly when they're hot on the trail of accomplishing their mission, so keep an eye on the map so that you don't get lost! Build alliances with mighty creatures, and forge legends that echo through time. So, adventurer, the question isn’t whether you’ll answer the call of Creature Keeper.

It’s how soon you’ll begin your journey. The wonderland is waiting... what’s your move? If you were wondering what the price was... it's $14.99, and it's worth the money. Not just because it's inexpensive, but because it's fun. Oh, did I forget to mention that the game was confirmed for the Switch at a later date? I thought about the Switch as soon as I played this one, so that's perfect. In the mean time, you can grab the game on Epic Games + Steam... which means you can play it on the Steam Deck. So you can grab a bite to eat while on your adventure. Now if you'll excuse me, it's lunch time (BABY!). Pizza and fruit punch are calling my name!
