Thor: God of Thunder is a third-person action video game developed by Liquid Entertainment and published by Sega.
The video game was released on May 3, 2011 in U.S, being rated T for Teen.
Thor: God of Thunder is the first video game featuring Thor, as a standalone character, and is available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS.
The main character of the game is Thor, the son of Odin (ruler of Asgard). The game’s storyline is focused on Thor and the personal vendetta he starts after Sif’s death.
Tricked by his brother, Loki, Thor travels to various worlds trying to punish those responsible for the death of his friend.
In the game, Thor’s main weapon is the Mjölnir, a legendary hammer which allows him to control the powers of lightning, thunder and wind. Using these powers, Thor can perform various attacks which can be upgraded using valor points.
It is important to know that each special attack costs Odinforce. To find out how much Odinforce, Thor has in the game, players should check the left corner of the screen, which also displays Thors health bar, and the ability he currently uses.
Players should know that they can switch through Thor’s abilities, and they should do that every time they want to perform one of his special attacks.
For example, to perform Thor’s Lightning Strikes special attack, player must activate his ability to control the powers of lightning. The same rule applies for wind and thunder.
The guide below reveals all of Thor’s special moves, including the attacks he can perform with his hammer, his grapple attacks and his defensive moves.
