About this game
THE GODS ARE DEAD
Odin killed them. Every last one.
In a final, unthinkable Blót at the sacred barrow, the All-Father drained the lifeblood of his own pantheon. Thor, Loki, Tyr and even Jörmungandr were sacrificed to thwart Ragnarök.
You are their revenge. And you remember everything.
FAST, BRUTAL AND RELENTLESS
Blotbarrow is a hack and slash roguelite with one vs. many combat. Hundreds of enemies on screen. Legendary Weapons that hit like trucks. Builds that escalate from "strong" to "screen-clearing" inside a single run.
You won't be careful. You'll be unstoppable.
LEGENDARY WEAPONS
Mjölnir. Gungnir. Gram. The legendary arsenal of the Nine Realms is scattered across your path. Every weapon plays differently and reshapes your entire build around it. Find the one that fits how you fight, or learn something new every run.
POWERS OF THE FALLEN GODS
The dead don't stay quiet. As you cut through Odin's forces, the shattered powers of the slain gods bleed into you:
THOR'S THUNDER
LOKI'S DECEPTIONS
TYR'S UNBREAKABLE DEFENSE
JÖRMUNGANDR'S VENOM
MANY MORE HIDDEN DEEP IN THE REALMS
Pick different abilities. Combine them. Stack them and break the game.
DEATH IS THE LOOP
You're going to die. A lot. That's the point.
Every death pays out in gold and materials. Spend them between runs on permanent upgrades, new weapons, and starting loadouts. The Odin who killed you yesterday isn't ready for who you'll be tomorrow.
THE ALL-FATHER WAITS
At the top of the Blotbarrow sits the god who started all of this. He's stronger than anything you've fought. He knows you're coming. Climb the mound. Take the throne. End the age of Odin.

You Were Promised Valhalla
In this game, you fight through hordes of Odin’s corrupted armies, gather powerful items, shape your build with unique items, and return from death stronger than before. Each run is meant to feel empowering: at first you are starting out with just the bare minimum of items available, then as you progress and unlock more items and weapons you are cutting through entire groups of enemies, and eventually your item synergies start to spiral into something broken.You died with honor.You expected the gates of Valhalla to open.Instead, you wake up beneath the earth, inside of a cursed barrow.What kind of game is this?At its core, this is a Norse roguelite hack-and-slash focused on:Fighting large groups of enemiesCreating powerful item synergiesFinding broken builds and having fun with absurd combinationsProgressing through different biomesFacing bosses that test dodging, blocking, and timingReturning after death with new items unlockedThe goal is to combine the feeling of one warrior against many with the replayability of a roguelite build system.Why I’m making itI love games where a run starts simple, then slowly turns into chaos because your choices begin to interact in unexpected ways. I also love games where you fight a lot of enemies at once.That is the feeling I want here.One item might push you toward bleed effects. Another might reward aggressive melee combat. Another might turn your abilities into the center of your build. By the end of a run, I want players to feel like they found something unique like a combination of items, runes, and relics that feels powerful, surprising, and maybe a little ridiculous.What comes nextThis will be the first of several development updates.In future posts, I want to show more about:The combat systemRelics and item synergiesThe different weapons in the gameBoss designOdin’s role in the storyProgress towards the trailer and demoThanks for taking a look at the game this early. ːsteamhappyːIf the idea of fighting your way out of Odin...Read full article on Community Announcements (main)
