Join the Adventure in the Critically-Acclaimed 2D Precision Platformer
In a surprising move from the renowned Western publisher of MMORPGs, Gameforge, in collaboration with indie developer Asylum Square, the much-loved 2D precision platformer, Tiny Thor, has been launched on Nintendo Switch. Gamers are invited to traverse the realms of Asgard and experience the journey of a miniature hero armed with divine abilities.
Retro Nostalgia and Modern Gameplay Blend in Tiny Thor
Published under the IndieForge label of Gameforge, Tiny Thor is a tribute to the 16-bit pixel platformers from the golden age of gaming. Its rich narrative, punctuated by boss battles that challenge even the most seasoned gamers, transforms this into a journey fit for the son of Odin.
The game has unique environments within each realm. Here, players can wield Mjölnir’s power to vanquish hordes of foes and solve intricate environmental puzzles. Retro gaming fans are bound to find the charm of Tiny Thor familiar, while newcomers will appreciate its unique and engaging gaming experience.
Assist Mode for a Relaxed Gaming Experience
Tiny Thor introduces an “Assist Mode” for Nintendo Switch and Windows PC gamers, aiming to morph the challenging platformer into a more laid-back experience. This feature allows players to adjust difficulty levels by enabling options such as Higher Jumps, Longer Invincibility, and, in keeping with the theme, a “God Mode” which offers permanent invincibility.
Hannes Anders, Chief Technical Officer at Gameforge, shared the team’s pride in the effort expended to optimize Tiny Thor for Nintendo Switch, ensuring that players have a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. Meanwhile, Jochen Heizmann, co-founder of Asylum Square, expressed his excitement over the positive reception of Tiny Thor on PC, and his eagerness for Nintendo Switch gamers to experience the game.
Experience Epic Norse Mythology Battles in Tiny Thor
Players can leverage the unique abilities of the ricocheting mini-Mjölnir to solve puzzles and conquer enemies. Despite being miniature, the game’s hero is designed to triumph over grandiose boss battles featuring icons of Norse mythology such as Loki and the Kraken.
With artwork from veteran pixel artist Henk Nieborg and an original soundtrack from Chris Hülsbeck, Tiny Thor boasts an impressive retro gaming pedigree.
