Our take on Jumalien
The defining structure is a five-minute preparation race: players explore a changing world, collect equipment, and can disrupt rivals before everyone meets in the final battle.
What is Jumalien?
Jumalien is a local multiplayer hack-and-slash game about rival deities competing in a final tournament.
Exploration mode places players in a procedurally generated world with 5 minutes to prepare before the decisive battle. During preparation, they can search for legendary gear, fight mythological golems for items, or hunt opponents and take their equipment. Draft mode links successive fights with equipment selection between rounds, allowing players to build combinations around preferred play styles. The game includes four playable deities from Mayan, Egyptian, Norse, and Greek mythology, plus more than 150 items and random events. An arena mode supports direct confrontations.
