Thor: God of Thunder (DS) Review
Way to go, Way-Thor-ward
At a SEGA press event in March this year WayForward’s Director for Thor: God of Thunder , Austin Ivansmith, noted that it is the company's “love letter to the DS” and considering its back catalogue of well received DS and DSiWare titles this game caught the attention of gamers normally hesitant of a movie licenced game. Playing through the seven chapters of its Story mode reveals a well-crafted hack-and-slash game, although it is apparent that Thor’s Mjölnir hammer is not quite able to ‘slam-and-crush’ away the repetitive gameplay, which is a bugbear of the genre that also hampered Red Fly Studio’s Thor: God of Thunder on Wii .
First impressions suggest Thor: God of Thunder follows on from WayForward’s great work on DS adventure Batman: The Brave and the Bold , particularly as Thor leaps across platforms in a similar manner to genre classics like Taito’s Rastan Saga or NEC’s The Legendary Axe . However, it is evident that Thor takes its greatest inspiration from Lance and Bill, as the use of their Contra 4 engine enables gameplay built around darting between two DS screens. Alongside the brawling is a simple magic system, with the player collecting blue orbs from downed enemies to build a super meter to unleash one of three God Powers: thunder, lightning or wind. These are essentially a touch screen smart-bomb, with the lightning effect conjuring memories of Gilius Thunderhead’s magic power in SEGA’s original fantasy slasher, Golden Axe .
In an attempt to add variety to the action, WayForward included set-pieces that help to enhance the gameplay. In Chapter I (ii) a right-to-left scrolling section sees Thor relentlessly chased by an army of troll imps, but unable to fight as he carries his injured warrior friend, Sif, to safety. Another chapter involves a huge chunk of a rock breaking away from a Niflheim ice mountain, with Thor battling enemies aboard it as it slides down the cliff. Instances like this are brilliant at adding excitement to the action, but the game would have benefited from a larger range of these moments. WayForward clearly has an imaginative team and the player will appreciate sections that showcase this, like in Chapter VI where Thor battles a hulking Muspelheim enemy, rips the armour off its back and holds it above his head to shield him from a downpour of fiery rain.
Although the cover art may give the impression that this is a movie licensed title, the game benefits from a separate story more closely linked to the Marvel comics, which provides greater visual variety as it visits five of the nine worlds in the Thor universe (Asgard, Vanaheim, Niflheim, Hel and Muspelheim). Thor’s home of Asgard is invaded by an army of Trolls and he sets out on an adventure to destroy the source of the invasion, Frostgrinder, and save Sif who has been trapped in the Cave of Ages by the Goddess of Death, Hela. However, Thor’s reckless temper allows him to be tricked by his brother, Loki, resulting in his rash actions awakening and releasing the powerful demon, Mangog. The most interesting aspect of the story is the way it depicts the hero’s foolhardy aggressiveness: Thor comes across as a thorn in the side of the other realms, his gung-ho nature bringing trouble to his home and to his father, Odin. The story events are told using portrait slides drawn and coloured by Marvel artists Mark Brooks and Sonia Oback, and they are an example of how the presentation expands beyond the confines of the movie plot.
