JOTUNNSLAYER: HORDES OF HEL ASCENDS IN STEAM NEXT FEST, DEMO EXTENDED

Košice, Slovak Republic – 24th October 2024 – Global publisher Grindstone and independent developer Games Farm’s highly anticipated roguelike horde-survivor game Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel has emerged as one of Steam Next Fest’s standout titles, with over 44,000 demo downloads and surpassing 125,000 wishlists. The demo has achieved a remarkable 9/10Very Positive’ rating on Steam, validating the studio’s innovative approach to the genre. 

In response to the overwhelming reception, Games Farm CEO, Peter Nagy shared a few words “It feels really great to receive an email from Valve saying that your demo was one of the most played,” balancing pride in the team’s achievement with heartfelt gratitude. 

The extended demo features an exclusive roster of three playable characters – the fearless Berserker, the cunning Seeress, and the newly introduced Revenant. Players can align with three powerful Norse gods – Thor, Freya, and the recently added trickster god Loki – as they battle through randomised objectives and face ever-changing hordes of enemies from Helheim.

While the demo will eventually revert to its original two-character version, players can continue to experience this enhanced content on Steam until further updates, with the publisher promising a week’s notice before any changes. 

Grindstone encourages players to download the new Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel Demo and experience The Revenant and Loki’s powers for a limited time, wishlist the game for updates, and join the Discord community to provide valuable feedback.
