FAQ
Hey Jotunnslayers!
We've gathered some of the most frequently asked questions in one place. We hope this helps you navigate through Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel and our future plans!
Will progress from the demo carry over to the full game?
Unfortunately, no. All progress will be reset when the full game is released.
As for Early Access, we have implemented a lot of improvements, balancing tweaks, and new content based on player feedback. The full game is quite different from the demo, and while starting over might feel frustrating, we're confident the updated experience will make it all worthwhile. Get ready for a fresh start that's even more epic!
Will the game be available in other languages?
Yes! In addition to English, Jotunnslayer will be localized in the following languages for the Early Access launch:
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- Japanese
- Korean
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- German
- Slovak
- Brazilian Portuguese
Why don't you have this language: [language]?
Due to limited resources we launched with the languages visible on our Steam page. As previously mentioned, we are planning on adding additional languages throughout early access. These will be available soon, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
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.
Do we know the price yet?
Yes! The base Early Access price of the game is $9.99. If you'd like to support us further, you can purchase the Founders Edition, which includes the game, an artbook, the soundtrack, and a set of legendary skins!
Can I buy the game before Early Access?
No, unfortunately, pre-orders are not available at this time.
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.
Release Date
The game is released to Early Access on 21st of January 2025.
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 gods 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 Steam 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.
