Dark secrets lie behind the wonders and mysteries within Norse Mythology. This brings a heroine to the front lines of mystic mayhem in Gunnhildr. This rogue-lite from RatDog Games takes the tales of Norse legends and mixes it with FPS action. When it comes to Norse Mythology, the idea of guns is nearly nonexistent for magic, swords, and gods and men are the usual factors in combat. But in Gunnhildr, shooting makes a major appearance.
The narrative trailer features rocking music to the various clips of DOOM-esque gameplay and awe-inspiring backdrops. As the titular heroine, you can jump and dash to gain higher advantages over your adversaries.
Witchcraft, Wizardy, and Hellish Weaponry
Leading a charge against The Elders of Niflheim, Gunnhildr aims to survive until the bitter end. The tale begins after Gunnhildr is exiled due to a failed mission to get help from the Gods. Niflheim’s raw material of Halite is running severely low, marking the planet as unworthy. Proclaiming damnation on Gunnhildr, it’s here where guns and bullets are traded mid-air with magic and corruption.
Gunnhildr’s Development State
Gunnhildr can be experienced now by going onto the game’s Steam page for $14.99. Presently, the game has 5 of 12 planned weapon types, 39 of 150 planned Power-Ups, and 1 of 4 planned environments. More will be added before its official launch next year in 2021.
