As Thor progresses, he must solve puzzles set before him by Jormungand, Nognir, and then Loki. He also has to fight his way through the countryside, past city guards, and into the lairs of the gods. Along with puzzles and action, role-playing elements are included. Thor slowly gains more powers as he progresses, and his hammer and armour can become stronger over time. Through the entire game, Odin watches over him, and Thor will find himself being yelled at by the king of the gods if Mjolnir fells an innocent person. | As Thor progresses, he must solve puzzles set before him by Jormungand, Nognir, and then Loki.
