minis Round Up: 21 July

Releasing today across all PlayStation Stores we have two great new minis titles: the icy puzzler Arctic Adventures Polar’s Puzzles and the hotly anticipated new title from Frima Studio, Young Thor. Check them out below.

Young Thor by Frima Studio

Frima Studio have already launched two minis titles, the brilliant Zombie Tycoon and Widgets Odyssey, but Young Thor could very well be their best yet. A fresh take on iconic Norse Mythology, the game has been inspired by some of the best action-platformers and beat-em up brawlers around.

Have you ever dreamed that nothing could stop you because of the prodigious power you wield, because you are a god? As Young Thor, god of thunder, unleash your fifteen devastating attacks and magical powers on the myriad of enemies that lurk in Midgard, the land of man, and in Asgard, land of the gods. Explore four vast environments in your quest for the eight artifacts that will help you defeat Hel and her two cursed allies, Ratatoskr and Nidhogg, and rescue the three Norns, Urd, Skuld and Verdandi. Prepare to embark on an epic journey to save the world tree, Yggdrasil, and with it, all life in both realms. It’s hammer time!

With over a dozen different attacks and special powers, 50 different in-game achievables to unlock and an addictive leveling and experience system that will let you strengthen your stats to level 99.

Built specifically for minis it looks and plays great on both PSP and PS3, so what are you waiting for?
