Soul Fjord (http://www.joystiq.com/game/soul-fjord) is now available on the Ouya store (https://www.ouya.tv/game/Soul-Fjord/). Developed by Airtight Games, the rhythm-action game stars an afro-sporting viking named Magnus Jones, who is hacking through enemies to get to the afterlife nightclub Valhalla. The developer describes (http://soulfjord.com/ouya-devlog-kim-swift/) its gameplay as "an extreme mash-up of rhythm game meets dungeon crawler with a roguelike twist," so death in the Norse mythology-based world holds some permanence, as seen in the game's launch trailer. Soul Fjord is free to download and supported by in-game purchases.
Airtight previously launched first-person puzzler Quantum Conundrum (http://www.joystiq.com/game/quantum-conundrum) for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Creative Director Kim Swift also served as co-creator of Valve's hit puzzle-platformer Portal (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/portal). If that's not enough star power for the funky game, its soundtrack comes from Grammy-nominated (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/27/austin-wintorys-journey-to-the-2013-grammys/) Journey (http://www.joystiq.com/game/journey) composerAustin Wintory (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/austin-wintory).
