Prepare Yourself for RUNE...the 3D
Action Game!
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 will 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 will 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 will 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 includes a full single player story game as well as several specially
designed multi-player levels that allow players to cooperate or compete as
Ragnar or another Viking warrior. The multi-player game will also include
special handicap and team modes to widen the multi-player experience.
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.
