While I was on the lookout for shoot 'em up bullet hell games like Vampire Survivors, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel caught my attention.それは、割り当てられたタスクを完了しながら特別な能力を使用して、敵の大群と戦う北欧神話に触発されたトップダウンのサバイバルRPGです。 In this guide, I've included everything a beginner player needs to know to get started with Jotunnslayer.
Jotunnslayer：Hordes of Helは現在アクセスを早めており、限られたコンテンツを備えていますが、開発者はゲームの最終発売まで時間の経過とともに更新をドロップする計画を立てています。 Players can purchase the early access version for $10 on Steam and Epic Games storefronts. Let's take a deep dive into the gameplay and mechanics.
Currently, there are four playable classes in Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel: Berserker, Seeress, Flame Sister, and Revenant . Each character has a unique set of abilities called Class Traits that take effect or are activated automatically while playing. More classes are to be added to the game in future updates.
The Berserker carries an axe as his primary weapon and is built for close combat, just like Flame Sister who uses a dagger. SeeressとRevenantは、それぞれスタッフと弓を使用して、遠隔攻撃に向けたクラスを探しているプレイヤーに最適な選択肢となります。 You can check out all of the characters and their respective Class Traits in the table below.
| クラス | Class Traits |
|---|---|
| バーサーカー | Rage : Attacks can trigger his full violent potential. (HP Regeneration +3/s, Damage +20%) Hot Blood : As the Berserker loses health, his attacks become increasingly faster. (Attack Speed +0.5% per 1% of missing health) Survivor : Berserker can withstand intense punishment. (HP Regeneration +1/s, Maximum Health +100) |
| Seeress | Eldritch Wards : Shield charges give invulnerability when taking damage. (Charge Cooldown 35s, Invulnerability Duration 1s) Malicious Wisdom : Experience Crystals can inflict damage on nearby enemies. (Damage 5, Chance 25%) Fortune : You can see the future. (Bonus Skill or Reward Chance 25%) |
| Flame Sister | Blazing Soul : Ever-burning soul randomly bursts into nearby enemies dealing damage. (Damage 26, Heal 20 HP) Dasher : A bonus ability to escape from any danger. (Dash Charge +1, Evasion +20%) Inferno : A fiery attack with the potential to inflict burn damage. (Burn Chance 15%) |
| Revenant | Haunting Wolf : Release a wolf spirit to hunt down enemies. (Damage 25, Cooldown 5s) Ethereal Arrows : Arrows have a chance to transform into a pass-through version. (Passthrough Chance 15%) Ghostwalk : You enter a protective ghost form when dashing (Damage Reduction 50%) |
After you've determined what character to play with, you can customize the hero in a few ways. Firstly, you can select from a variety of Weapons available for that class. For instance, Revenant features three types of bows and each comes with a different Weapon Skill and bonus ability. The default weapon is perfect for beginners as the remaining need to be unlocked for gems.
Thereafter, you can select Skins to further customize your class. These are cosmetics and don't impact the gameplay, nonetheless, you have the option to deploy into hell with style. If you can spare some extra cash, get the Odin's Legendary Armor Pack as it includes themed skins for all four classes.
Initially, players can experience only two worlds in Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel: Niflheim and Muspelheim . While the former world is covered in freezing darkness, the latter is a fiery wasteland. More worlds including Jotunheim, Svartalfheim, and Helheim are to be added in future content drops. The locations aren't just aesthetically different but also have unique monsters of their own.
Before beginning a match, you can customize the location by setting Difficulty and Modifiers . Below are all the location difficulties available in Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel and their attributes.
| 困難 | Enemy Difficulty | Raid Time (min) | Objectives | Resource Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 簡単 | 100％ | 10:00 | 3 | 0％ |
| 普通 | 150％ | 15:00 | 4 | 35％ |
| 難しい | 200% | 17:00 | 5 | 70％ |
| 非常識な | 250% | 20:00 | 6 | 120% |
To access the higher difficulties, you'll have to complete the level in the lower difficulty first. Each world also offers some Modifiers that come with some pros and cons. You can assign some to make the gameplay favorable to your play style. Here are the Modifiers available on Niflheim:
| 修飾子 | Attributes | Unlock Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Brave Chicken | Enemy Damage -30% Objective Rewards -50% | Fall twice in Raid |
| 死霊のはらわた | Invulnerability Duration 5s Chance 5% Trigger: Death Resource Bonus +30% | Kill 150 Wraiths in Niflheim |
| Time Rush | Movement Speed +10% Cooldown -10% Attack Speed +10% Resource Bonus +30% | Complete Niflheim with Evil Dead activated |
| Greedy Masochist | Enemy Damage +30% Resource Bonus +30% | Complete Niflheim on Hard Difficulty |
| Bad Cards | One less Skill or Reward Resource Bonus +30% | - |
| Talentless Child | Experience Gained -25% Resource Bonus +30% | - |
そのキャラクターと場所の選択が邪魔にならないようになったので、初心者はゲームプレイに飛び込む前に、ヘルのJotunnslayer Hordesの攻撃設定の設定を理解する必要があります。 This setting determines how the attack mechanics will work. Here are the available options and how they function:
I suggest the default setting for new players, ie, Smart Attack Mode and Automatic Aim Mode. This will keep things simple and you'll have to focus on moving around, dashing, and dodging the enemies.ただし、挑戦を希望し、ヒーローの攻撃の操作をよりコントロールしたい人にとっては楽しいことができるので、経験を積んだ後、手動攻撃の好みを試してみてください。
Your goal after deploying into hell is to survive the hordes of enemies while leveling up the hero and completing objectives. There is plenty of time to complete the objectives, especially for beginners who are playing on Easy or Normal difficulty. Your character initially has the default weapon attack, Class Traits, and Weapon Skill, which we've talked about previously.
Maintain some distance between yourself and the hordes of enemies, which keep getting more powerful and bigger as the raid time passes by.死んだ敵は、あなたが彼らの近くを歩くことで収集する必要がある結晶を落とします。
Always keep an eye on the HP Bar at the bottom left corner and take a back peddle when your survival is at stake. Let the health regenerate slowly or consume Food dropped by enemies for an instant HP boost. Food appears as the meat symbol on the minimap on the top right as well.
Make sure to collect Gold dropped after killing golden enemies, defeating bosses, and objective completion. It can be used to purchase new weapons for your characters from the main menu. Keep leveling up your class, defend against enemy hordes, and complete objectives within the allotted time until the final boss fight. Defeating the Jotunn to finish the raid and unlock the main reward.
In Niflheim, the objectives I received during the Easy and Normal difficulty raids were pretty straightforward. Below of some of the objectives in Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel and how they work:
3つの目標すべてを簡単に難易度で完了する（通常の難易度で4つなど）に、メインボスを倒すという最終ミッションを開始するポータルをマークします： Jotunnを召喚します。
As you level up, a screen will pop up asking you to choose the Skill Type between the Class or God .クラスは、買収したヒーローと同じままです。つまり、試合中にレナベントとしてプレーしている場合にのみ、レナベントのオプションが得られます。 However, you may get any of the four Gods: Thor, Loki, Freya, Odin .
このメニューは、クリスタルをプレイして収集することでレベルを上げるたびに表示されるため、襲撃中に獲得する機会がたくさんあるので、特定のパワーアップを逃すことを心配しないでください。 I suggest acquiring any God Skill Type initially as these can grant you powerful attack moves. You can later unlock the Class Skill Type to strengthen your hero's base abilities.
With Skill Type level up, you can acquire up to 3 God Autocasts and 2 Class Autocasts . These are attack moves that are performed along with your hero's basic maneuver. You can also gain up to 6 Passives that give you, well, passive buffs. Autocasts and Passives can also be leveled up to increase their effectiveness.さらに、表示されているスキルタイプが気に入らない場合は、リロールオプションを使用して新しいものを取得し、そのラウンドのために完全に消えてしまうようにします。
Later in your character's leveling-up journey, you'll get the option to choose a Subclass instead of the usual Skill Type. Pick this one carefully as per your requirement and playstyle as it can grant you a powerful buff, unlike the passives.たとえば、私はプレイスルー中にバーザーカーのためにZealotを選びました。私は多くの神のスキルを習得し、このサブクラスがそれらのクールダウンを大幅に減らしました。
Treasure Chests will also appear on your minimap from time to time, so keep an eye out for these and open them when possible.これらは、大群やボスと戦うときに非常に有用であることが証明できる一時的な強力な能力を提供できます（上の2番目の画像を参照）。 Below are some of the common Treasure Chest rewards in Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel:
上記の最後の3つの報酬は、神のフレイアトレジャーチェストからのものです。したがって、報酬の効果はあなたのヒーローに永続的に適用され、積み重ね可能です。
As mentioned before, the final boss fight can only be started after you've completed all the objectives depending on your difficulty level.地面に立って、Jotunn（ミニマップに表示される）を召喚すると、モンスターは短いカットシーン（ありがたいことにスキップ可能です）の後に表示されます。
The boss's HP bar and attack strength will be determined by what level of difficulty you're playing on. Having said that, beginners don't need to worry as the beast is not that tough to defeat in Easy or Normal modes. If you get too close, the monster will perform a smash attack followed by a barrage of rockets . The target area is highlighted in red , so stay out of it to avoid taking damage. You can always rely on the dash to dodge . Fight the boss while keeping yourself alive to finish the raid and claim the rewards.
What was initially available as Virtues in Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel, has now been converted into the Skill Tree.能力のブースト解除は合理化されているとは限りなくなりましたが、この変化は他のほとんどのゲームと同様にスキルツリーメカニックの古典的な買収を表しています。 There is a separate skill tree for each Class and God.初心者のために、私はあなたの好みの神の力のために神のスキルツリーをアップグレードすることから始めることをお勧めします。 You can simultaneously level up and obtain skills for your favorite Class to make a strong build for higher difficulty raidsin Jotunnslayer.
