In the game, the player assumes control of a Norse god who must guide several mortal heroes to fulfill their destinies.

[1] Asgard's Wrath is an action role-playing game designed for virtual reality (VR) headsets.

The game's initial vision was similar to Lemmings, as the player assumes control of the Gods and solve puzzles by commanding various human characters.

[14] UploadVR praised the puzzles and the way the game incorporated them into the environment, writing, "The excellent puzzles are a great game mechanic to keep you thinking on your toes and offer a respite from the active, melee-heavy combat, but they’re also a great storytelling device".

[15] IGN liked how the game added variety through switching between mortal and god forms, "There’s a remarkable amount of awe to be had when what previously seemed like a towering obstacle suddenly appears small and manageable like a toy piece".
