Nordic Fun
In RUNE, players assume the role of Ragnar the Viking,
mightiest warrior of a bygone age. In an age when might makes right, it is
Ragnar who doles out justice on the blade of his massive battle-axe. Players
explore beautiful settings both above and below the mountains of the far north
as Ragnar fights his way through several stunning and unique kingdoms to an
ultimate confrontation with the Sark Amen, the shadowy warrior-masters of the
netherworld.
RUNE is a third-person perspective game of intense action
and adventure steeped in a blend of Norse mythology and high fantasy. Players
have to use their brains as well as their massive brawn to survive as they
explore the fully 3D game world fighting off fantastic creatures from both
Norse legend and the fertile minds of the Human Head staff with their array of
swords, axes and magical devices.
The game focuses on equal parts melee combat and
exploration, with levels ranging from a Viking town to the caverns of the
Dwarves to a city in the mountains. Players have access to a wide array of
melee weapons based both in fact and fantasy as Ragnar delves deeper into the
realms of myth and further from his old reality.
Rune will include a full single player game as well as
several multi-player levels allowing players to cooperate or compete as Viking
warriors. The title also features:
- Dramatic single-player story game that carries players
across several environments from the darkest depths to the highest Nordic
mountains
- Multiplayer capabilities including Deathmatch and Team
Deathmatch
- 25 immersive levels
- 15 weapons including a battle ax, two-handed sword,

- Torches that lead the way throughout Rangar's epic
journey and that can even be used as a weapon
- Enemies from a host of races including dark Vikings,
underground creatures, man-eating fish, goblins and a mysterious super
race
- Combat system lets players take weapons from their
defeated opponents
- Visual inventory that allows the character to see
available weapons at a glance

The Plot
Ragnar is a young Viking warrior just coming of age. As his
father prepares him for the final rites of manhood, the atmosphere of his
village is tense as stories of recent raids on neighboring villages. These
raids were particularly brutal, as the women-folk and children were slaughtered
and the villages burned to the ground. Conrack, a cruel chieftain and follower
of Loki, is said to be the cause of the raids, and his name is now spoken now
only in whispers for fear that he will appear, like some evil spirit, as if
from thin air.
Ragnar's village is dedicated to the worship of Odin,
all-father of the gods, and ruler of Asgard, the Viking heaven. Ragnar begins
his rite of manhood, but as a young warrior, he has much to prove. He fulfils
his ritual, but he will not be a true warrior until he can be blooded in
battle. Before the dust of the rite has settled, however, word comes of another
raid at a village close by. The warriors of Ragnar's village are called upon to
put an end to Conrack and his evil. Ragnar's father joins the raiding party, as
does Ragnar, as the newest warrior of his village. It is Ragnar's wish to prove
his manhood in valorous battle and gain entry into Valhalla.
The fate of the Norns is never what men expect, however,
and the men of Ragnar's village sail off not into valor, but into a raging
storm.
