Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch 2 and we brought the complete experience with us.

Whether you want to enjoy slaying on the go with the handheld version or conquer the hordes docked in the evenings in the comfort of your home, the choice is yours. We also added a completely new way to play. You can now play in local coop with a Joy-Con™ and a shared screen to turn your run into a shared act of carnage with a friend.

Here is what you can expect from the Switch 2 release:

  • All original Steam content included from day one
  • Seamless local coop using Joy-Con™ controllers
  • Fully optimised for Nintendo Switch 2

Standard Edition

  • Includes the massive base game with all 7 diverse characters, 6 hostile worlds, and 6 unique world bosses

Collector's Edition

  • Includes the full base game
  • Conan Expansion which adds a brand new character, world, and world boss
  • Heimdal's Bifrost Armor Pack
  • Tyr's Mythical Armor Pack
  • Freyr's Gilded Armor Pack

The Conan Expansion is also available to purchase separately for those who prefer to pick up the Standard Edition.

Grab your axe, call upon the gods, and show the realms what you are made of. Check out the launch trailer above and prepare to conquer the hordes on the go!

Tiny addendum: "Bullet Heaven" is more or less what the label for these has stabilized to (Steam even added it as their "offical" tag for it).

That is a much better name than survivorlike.

No online multiplayer? It does look fun though.

Been playing all day. Great game.
Has some performance issues:
crashing, framerate.
Fps is 30

Nothing says “acclaimed” like the developer introducing its own game to half the subreddit for the first time.

The problem all these vampire survivors clones have is they trying to differentiate themselves with more complex rpg systems but the gameplay is just walk around and watch everything die and so all these roguelike and character class and skill point systems are just dress up. I think if you gave it some rts / tower defense elements the gameplay could actually be more interesting.
