It's a fun game to play, but...
Juro Janosik is a video game about a Slovak highwayman. Janosik is usually compared to historical figures like Robin Hood. I don't want to get into details because, you guessed it, that's a Steam review, and I should talk about the actual game.
As I said, we can compare Juro Janosik to Robin Hood. The main objective of this game is to collect gold and give it to the poor villagers. As a player, you have ten castles to visit and plunder them. Those castles exist in modern Slovakia and look similar to those in the real world.
What about the gameplay? Well... As I started, it was a fun game to play. Combat is simple and entertaining, as are the puzzles (Except for one segment in Zborov). So where is the problem? Let's start with bugs. Things like unconscious pandurs "flowing" toward the bell are incredibly annoying. Sometimes, the game does not register hits to enemies. I fell from the map because I was looking for a map and realized it was in one of the villagers' houses (The small alley behind the rock, close to castle doors). Sometimes pandurs can see you when you are behind them. That's all, maybe I missed something. Let's talk about the most annoying thing in this game: Canons. Pandurs can see from a specific distance determined by the day cycle, but canons say: F*CK YOU! I CAN SEE YOU FROM A MILE AWAY AND TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVE! It's easy to dodge those balls, but I mentioned one segment early in the review. You must cross a small area with wooden moving walls that push you towards water. Sound simple? Yes, the Developer thought the same and put a canon at the end of this small section. Puzzles should be challenging but not absurdly difficult, where you must be lucky to avoid something.
To sum up, Juro Janosik is a fun game to play, but you have to be aware that it has issues. Also, I am not saying it's a bad game if those things are not scaring you. You can try it.
This is a nice, original, top down, isometric platformer. You are playing as the folk hero of Slovakia "Juro Janosik". In short - he was like Robin Hood.
It is also good for kids as there is no blood or killing. Enemies get stunned and you tie them with rope. Once not stunned they will squirm like worms and call for help. Or keep ordering you to release them :)
I liked the game a lot, but there are problems.
Controls and some technical decisions. I was able to tolerate its flaws in control and sometimes slow responses in certain situations, but when the next difficulty kicked in - not any longer. I felt frustrated that although you have a mouse, the only thing you control is the direction of your pistol. Although you can, it is very cumbersome to shoot. It is hard to hit, especially moving targets. Animation is too long, making it hard to use and ammunition is scarce.
Anyone recalls the game changing event of controlling old Doom with mouse and not with keyboard?
Another issue is that you attack with melee only in the direction you are facing. You turn with keyboard and not mouse. Making your reactions a bit slower. Why can I not swing my valaska (your weapon) where I am pointing with my mouse? That could have been an option at least.
This with higher diff and the fact that one stray pandur (man-at-arms) will free other tied pandurs results in a lot of reload. If you manage to subdue them again, then there aren't that many ropes in the map to do it more than once. And not so many breads to heal. Resulting in frustration.
I am sorry Peter Jurkovsky, you almost had it right. But I am feeling frustration rather than enjoyment late in your game. I like a challenge, but not with these controls.
What I like are:
The puzzles, they are not boring or tedious, even if easy, not taking long to solve, kind of original.
I like the graphic style and sounds.
The idea of setting free other bandits and leveling thru building new camps is nice.
I like that the maps you collect in the game are copies of original castle maps.
I like interiors as well as exteriors. There are also chairs which I liked to use as cannon balls :)
I like the day/night cycles. And cloak and dagger operations that you can do.
Very promising game, too bad about those wrong game design choices.
I would like to see the next game from this author.
Legendary Highwayman
Juro Jánošík – a thief who took from the rich and gave to the poor, leader of a band of highwaymen and a Slovak legend. He and his gang never killed any of their victims. Everything was going well, but one day Juro finds out that one of his best men is imprisoned in one of Slovakia's many castles. He decides to help him no matter what, and this is where your adventure begins.
The first castle is Strečno. Here you will learn the basics of the game: how to control your character and what to do. Your main task is to find enough ducats and give them to the villagers. There are also two optional objectives. The first is to find and free captives, and the second is to find resources to build a camp, which will give you two points to boost your stats: health, speed, stamina and strength. There are only five camps, so you can't max out all your stats. Use your points wisely. Resources are water, which gives you unlimited stamina for a moment, bread and carrots, which regenerate your health, rope and ammunition for your pistol. You can also find a bomb.
At each level, two obstacles will complicate your journey. The first are simple puzzles to open doors and the second are guards called pandours. You're not a killer, so you can't eliminate them, but you can stun them with your shepherd's axe or pistol, and for large groups, the bomb is very effective. They won't stay stunned forever, so don't forget to tie them up with rope if you have any. Other pandours can also wake up or untie their companions. I enjoyed this style because it was different from other games and you can try to be stealthy or knock everyone out, but there is one problem - the controls. They are weird and I made a lot of mistakes because the mapping of the gamepad is not as natural as in other games. For example, when you want to leave your inventory, you have to press the view button instead of pressing B, which drops an item, or A should be for picking up items, not attacking, and X should be for punching. Some refactoring here would be nice.
I would also like to see some information about each castle. You can pick a map and then look at it in the inventory or the main menu, but there is no information about the history or anything like that. Maybe some static images when you enter a level would be nice, like at the beginning of the story.
The game's visuals are simple, but good, along with pleasant music. Only the interiors of the ten castles and dungeons could be more unique. They are too repetitive.
So, do I recommend the game? I can say yes, but there is room for improvement. It is a decent short game (5-7 hours) that gives you a simple but good audiovisual, a different combat style and some Slovak folklore.

A captivating indie game that seamlessly combines beautiful pixel art with a historic narrative, taking players on an immersive journey through the legendary Slovakian folklore hero's adventures. With its rich gameplay and atmosphere, this hidden gem is a must-play for fans of unique and artistic indie games.
This game is about most famous terorist, bandid a looter from Slovakia. Very nice gameplay. 9/10
Very nice travel through Slovakia piece of history and Medieval castles :)
This is an amazing game, so happy I found it and could enjoy playing it. Also my viewers on stream liked it very much. It is very unique thanks to the theme and protagonist. I played on the easy difficulty as I am not a skilled fighter and this difficulty was great for me - please beware once you select difficulty at the beginning, you cannot change it later in game.
I missed possibility to change controller button mapping in the game, but in the end I found some way to use customization of controller mapping via steam settings.
Otherwise it was pleasure to play, enjoyed every minute of it including mini-games, catchy music and beautiful visual design.
I am very proud every time I find well-made game that was developed by Slovak or Czech people. I wish there were more games like this.
I had to search more about the creator as I was curious who it was and if there were more games he'd developed so I found out he had made this game in his free time besides his main job and besides taking care of his wife and child. I assume Peter Jurkovský must be God of time management. It is almost tempting to try and create my own game, just to see if I could also become God of time management. LoL :D
Anyways, I miss Janosik ever since I finished the game... which I guess says it all.
Thank you Peter!
Quite fun, not so complicated. Got all achievements in less than 9 hours.
Amazing game! :) I did not expect to have so much fun. Looks simple, but great gameplay.

I definitely recommend buying this game. It's cheap, simple, but very well made and fun. I hope that the authors will create a new successful game or improve the current game even more. The spirit of our national hero lives on ... :)
Kúpu tejto hry rozhodne odporúčam. Je lacná, jednoduchá, ale veľmi dobre spracovaná a zábavná. Dúfam, že autori vytvoria novú úspešnú hru alebo súčasnú hru ešte viac vylepšia. Duch nášho národného hrdinu žije ďalej... :)
Super hra, odporucam - o janosikovi som pocul len tak zriedka, nikdy by som nepovedal ze sa niekedy naucim jeho historiu touto hravou formou.

[/tr]
[td] Juro Janosik was born in 1688. He grew up in the village of Terchova (Terhely) in the Habsburg monarchy’s Kingdom of Hungary area (present-day northwestern Slovakia). The area witnessed the violent string of anti-Habsburg uprisings. German squire Lord Jan Jakub Löwenburg gained control over Terchova and other surrounding villages. His absolutistic style of ruling contributed to forming of an underground network of rebels and criminals who declined to subordinate and preffered to live by their own rules. Juraj Janosik became leader of the gang. They gained fame by giving out parts of their loot to common people around them. This gave birth to the immortal legend of Juraj Janosik – „a thieve, who took from rich and gave out to poor.“ Tomáš Uhorčík was one oft he best highwaymen leaders and a best friend of Juro. When Juro found out his friend was caught by pandurs and imprisoned in one of many castles in Slovakia, he decided to find and liberate him. The first castle where Juro will try to find his friend is Strečno Castle… „Hopefully I will find him there, if not, at least I will loot some gold and give it to villagers.“
(The official ingame story)

[td] Juro Janosik wurde 1688 geboren. Er wuchs im Dorf Terchova (Terhely) im Gebiet des Königreichs Ungarn der Habsburgermonarchie (heutige Nordwestslowakei) auf. Das Gebiet wurde Zeuge der gewaltsamen Aufstände gegen die Habsburger. Der deutsche Graf Jan Jakub Löwenburg erlangte die Kontrolle über Terchova und andere umliegende Dörfer. Sein absolutistischer Herrschaftsstil trug zur Bildung eines geheimen Netzwerks von Rebellen und Kriminellen bei, die sich nicht unterordnen wollten und lieber nach ihren eigenen Regeln lebten. Juraj Janosik wurde Anführer der Bande. Sie erlangten Berühmtheit, indem sie Teile ihrer Beute an die einfachen Leute um sie herum verteilten. Daraus entstand die unsterbliche Legende von Juraj Janosik – „ein Dieb, der Reichen nahm und den Armen gab.“ Tomáš Uhorčík war einer der besten Räuberführer und ein bester Freund von Juro. Als Juro herausfand, dass sein Freund von Panduren gefangen und in einer der vielen Burgen in der Slowakei eingesperrt wurde, beschloss er, ihn zu finden und zu befreien. Das erste Schloss, in dem Juro versuchen wird, seinen Freund zu finden, ist Schloss Strečno… „Hoffentlich werde ich ihn dort finden, wenn nicht, werde ich zumindest etwas Gold plündern und es den Dorfbewohnern geben.“

[td] Juro Janosik is a top-down Action-Adventure. You solve puzzles, fight enemies and tie them up with rope and liberate prisoners. The puzzles aren’t too complex but fun. Fights are easy but fun, too. The enemies are smart. They call others for help and liberate tied up comrades if you let them. You can fight the enemies but sometimes you can try to stay undetected, too. There are some stealth-passages. You liberate castles, build camps and steal from the rich and give to the poor. This is very fun. If you give coins to poor villagers, their houses become full with goods and even their windowsills become decorated with nice flowers. It’s a very rewarding game. You gain skill-points to level up your character.[/td]
[td] Juro Janosik ist ein Top-Down-Action-Adventure. Du löst Rätsel, bekämpfst Feinde und fesselst sie mit Seilen und befreist Gefangene. Die Rätsel sind nicht zu komplex, aber lustig. Kämpfe sind einfach, machen aber auch Spaß. Die Feinde sind schlau. Sie rufen andere um Hilfe und befreien gefesselte Kameraden, wenn man sie lässt. Du kannst die Feinde bekämpfen, aber manchmal kannst du auch versuchen, unentdeckt zu bleiben. Es gibt einige Stealth-Passagen. Du befreist Burgen, baust Lager und stiehlst von den Reichen und gibst den Armen. Das macht sehr viel Spaß. Wenn man den armen Dorfbewohnern Münzen gibt, werden ihre Häuser mit Waren gefüllt und sogar ihre Fensterbänke werden mit schönen Blumen geschmückt. Es ist ein sehr belohnendes Spiel. Man erhältt Fertigkeitspunkte, um seinen Charakter zu verbessern.

po slovensky: velmi pekna hra o legendárnom slovenskom hrdinovi, veľmi pekne spracované! Taktiež sa mi páčia zvuky a hudba, túto hru vrelo doporučujem každému! SOm rád že som kúpou tejto hry prispel k jej ďaľšiemu rozvoju!
+ Simple, but good graphics
+ Interesting puzzles
+ Nice fighting system
+ Very good music
- weird movement ( but you can learn how to do it )
Overall it´s verry nice relaxing game with good gameplay and music.
9/10
Dobrá hra na odreagovanie (good game for recreation). Bohu dušu a mne dukáty!
The game is easy to play, easy to understand and I love the way of presenting Juraj Janosik and overall backstory of the game. If I were you, I'll definitely buy the game. It's great for some chill after hard day. Will definitely try to finish the game :D
I especially love dungeons, they are really cool and I like the idea of saving people from the hangmans. :D
+ Nice low poly visual
+ Chill music
+ Slovak language + Slovak voices of enemies
+ Castles
- a bit clumsy controlls with mouse&keyboard, but you will get use to it after a while.
Overall nice relaxing game :) Hope that one day students will play it in history classes.
This game is actually quite fun :) It's really nice looking low poly game what is played on the miniature version of country Slovakia, with the real Slovak castles as playable locations. Gameplay is more fun than I expected - there are nice puzzles, platforming, traps and fights which can be actually quite challenging. So far I played the game for 3 hours and I really liked it. Also, it is about Slovak national hero who was famous thief - what is quite funny in my opinion :D His character is represented in gameplay really well. Especially in the way how he is fighting the guards and tying them up with ropes, sneaking into castles, stealing stuff ( :D ), releasing random prisoners from the dungeons and throwing coins on poor villagers. It's entertaining and sometimes quite challenging game.
(Also for those who wonder: This game supports Slovak language as well - even when it is not written on the Steam page. I heard that some Slovak people were asking about that. Gamedev said that it is not supported language on Steam or something like that.)
I like the game very much. It's fun to play, it has interesting puzzles and sometimes challenging enemies. I also like low poly graphics and Slovak legendary hero theme. Also music fits perfectly and it has great game sounds. It's great indie game to play.
Very nice puzzle-platformer about legendary Slovak/Polish folk hero Juro Janosik.
