WD: It seemed like the most accessible funding platform for an idea like Jotun and it’s also a way of ‘validating’ your game, so to speak, as the feedback and investment you get shows you whether an audience exists for the title. PP: So what made you decide to use Kickstarter to fund the game, and how did you find the experience? Having said that, the idea was fully formed, so we had a concept and of course the art that we could ‘show off’ to people. WD: We were very early in terms of development. PP: That’s impressive, what stage of development was Jotun in when the Kickstarter launched? When we had the idea for Jotun, we took it to Kickstarter, and before we knew it we had raised $64,000 – which was pretty amazing as we had only set a $50,000 target!

WD: Well, we started off in the mobile market, making free to play mobile games. To kick us off, and for our readers who may not yet be aware of your studio can you tell us a little bit about Thunder Lotus Games? PP: Bon Soire Monsieur Dubé, we’ve just exhausted our knowledge of French, so hopefully you won’t mind if we conduct the interview in English. Join us below and impress the gods with your literacy skills: Over a traditional Canadian breakfast of Pancakes, Maple Syrup, and Bacon, we managed to get some interesting info from the mind behind the game. We were so enchanted by the art style, mythology, and punishing bosses, that we sought out the comments of the Creative Director of developer Thunder Lotus Games, Will Dube.

Follow on Twitter for updates.Pure PlayStation was recently enraptured by the skillfully animated indie game that has made its way over to PS4 from PC Jotun: Valhalla Edition. You Should Be Playing celebrates innovative, unexpected games that belong on your radar, with a new game every Monday at 0900 PST / 1700 GMT. You may just be a humble Viking warrior attempting to impress the gods, but you're just as worthy as any of them - you just have to earn it.

It's the kind of game that knows exactly what it wants to do, and executes it with beauty and precision.

Jotun wants you to feel mighty, even when the challenges you face are quite literally 100 times your size, but it also wants you to reflect on its world, study its history, and appreciate its mythology. What begins as a slow, uneventful jaunt punctuated by larger conflict slowly reveals itself as an entire world filled with unique challenges to overcome. One area might require you to surf down a maze of Yggdrasil's roots while dodging falling rocks another might require that you skate across an unbelievably massive ice lake while outrunning a giant snake who keeps breaking through the surface in an attempt to make you its latest snack.

The lead up to those explosive and impressive battles is perilous, contemplative, and full of surprises as you explore the beautiful and deadly lands that make up Norse mythology. But Jotun is more than just a difficult boss rush (even though one unlocks once you finish the story for the first time). The most obvious draw here is Jotun's boss fights, and combat is methodical, deliberate, requiring patience and a steady hand to persevere through it.
