Loved playing this game when i was a kid. Still works and is still enjoyable. If you like Zelda you'll love it
thx for uploading this game. Back in the day our teacher let us play this game without the saving function
Childhood nostalgia! GOT is a topdown puzzle adventure genre like classic Zelda that oozes a light-hearted charm with its tongue-in-cheek humor. When I was a kid, I thought Thor's hair and beard was his body whie his face was his eyes, like Ganbare Robocon(ロボコン) haha. It is a much simpler game mechanically, but the hammer throw and return by itself carries it well. That being said, the focus of the game is much more on puzzles than combat, so I would recommend setting the "Skill Level" to Easy, since the difficulty only really increases enemy HP and damage. In terms of shortcomings, there are a couple of sections where it can be a bit obtuse on what you need to do (eg: not knowing you need to talk to a specific NPC 2 times) and a few of the longer puzzles have some RNG (multiple hedgehogs pushing orbs) and somewhat annoying precision. Fortunately, the game is designed such that you can very quickly reset the room, save/load, and death just means you restart the room in the exact state that you entered the room. Most of the Magic powers are also too niche to be usable outside of very specific rooms. That said, I consider these shortcomings to be minor and don't detract from the overall experience, and easily overlooked with the game's charm. All in all, I'd recommend this old DOS game, especially since its free on Steam!

Игра «God Of Thunder» — атмосферный экшн-роллер с визуальной привлекательностью и глубоким сюжетом, вдохновленным мифами. Геймплей насыщен динамичными боевками, исследованием мира и развитием персонажа. Однако повторяющиеся механики и технические сбои (например, лаги в мультиплеере) снижают оценку. Подойдет фанатам жанра, но не идеален для новичков.
The game play is classic like Zelda I suppose, but it's not the gameplay that gets me. It's the awesome banging soundtrack in this. Absolutely one of the best in that era of gaming. 10/10 for the soundtrack alone. 8 out of 10 for the gameplay. And hey, it's free... free is free.
💥 Hello friends! Today I'm going to tell you about a powerful game: God of Thunder! Ever since I started playing this game, I feel really enthusiastic. 🌩️ 🔨 First of all, the battle scenes of this game are really impressive. It's an incredible feeling to experience thunderous explosions as I hammer enemies with my hammer! What more could you ask for than action-packed moments? The combat mechanics are really fluid and satisfying. Using various abilities to take down creatures is a pleasure. 💪 ⚡️ The graphics and sounds are also outstanding. The visual effects and attractive designs really make you feel the atmosphere of the game. In addition to the lightning, the soundtrack completely immerses you in the game. Moving with the rhythm of the music in every battle is a really exciting experience. The visual quality of the game is mesmerizing. Character details, environment designs and effects are really pleasing to the eye. 🎶 😔 Of course, like every game, God of Thunder has some weaknesses. There could have been a bit more variety in the game. Different enemy types and more levels would have enriched the experience. Also, the game's difficulty balance can be a bit unbalanced in some places. However, that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the game at all! It's still a great source of entertainment. 💥 🌟 All in all, God of Thunder was a truly mesmerizing experience for me. If you are looking for an action game full of immersive battle scenes, impressive graphics and atmospheric sounds, you should definitely try this game. Swinging my hammer and destroying enemies makes me feel like a real hero! So, to give this game my rating: Graphics: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gameplay: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sounds and Music: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Variety: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Difficulty Balance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ God of Thunder is truly a game not to be missed for action lovers! 🔨💥
"Ohhh!"
Best game according to my nostalgia
Nice Retro RPG
I played this shareware a lot back in the day and had a revisit in 2026. The fun holds up! I forgot the puzzles and they're pretty clever paired with a sort of non-linear exploration, also the humor, so it was quite replayable. Reminds me of Chips Challenge combined with Zelda. Keeping my eye out for a God of Thunder 2 ;)
