Our take on Thor's Ascension: Nine Realms
The game reverses the familiar heroic quest: the player is cast as a threat to heroes and hunts gods. Its roguelike structure also turns defeat into a restart with retained gains, rather than a simple end to a run.
What is Thor's Ascension: Nine Realms?
Thor’s body has been taken over, and the game casts the player as a force hunting gods across different realms.
Combat follows a roguelike hack-and-slash structure: after defeat, time resets, and gains carry into the next attempt. Before each journey, players choose from weapons, armor, abilities, and allies, then develop their selections permanently. Realms bring different challenges, while voiced dialogue, numerous characters, and a bestiary support a story set in a reimagined Norse-mythology universe. Leveling and character development are also part of progression. Rather than following a heroic quest, the premise puts the player in the role of a threat to heroes and rival gods.
