    Rune Description
    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 Norse legend 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 multiplayer levels that allow players to co-operate or compete as Ragnar or another Viking warrior. The multiplayer game will also include special handicap and team modes to widen the multiplayer experience.

    In Rune you play Ragnar. 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 neighbouring villages. These raids were particularly brutal, as the womenfolk 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 valour, but into a raging storm.

    You'll be able to accomplish this goal with an arsenal of various swords, axes, and hammers. In addition to those weapons you will be able to use the dismembered body parts of your enemies against them. Meaning you can beat someone with an arm or chuck a decapitated head at them. Rune is based on the Unreal Tournament engine and is played from a 3rd person perspective.

    Rune features include:
    • 43 single player levels.
    • 15 unique weapons including swords, axes and bashing weapons each with its own unique magic power that can be unlocked during play.
    • Enhanced version of the Unreal Tournament engine which supports a skeletal animation system, a new particle effects system, new melee combat focused Artificial Intelligence (AI), an improved version of the Unreal Editor and an enhanced shadowing system.
    • Multiplayer Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes.
    • 21 different multiplayer characters for players to choose and use.
    • Seven custom-built multiplayer levels.
    • Five multiplayer mutator modes, including Low Gravity, No PowerUps, Fatboy, Reduced Damage, and Left-Handed.
    • Customisable map lists and rule settings.
    • Dozens of awesome creatures, each with their own custom AI created from a mixture of Viking mythology and the minds of Human Head Studios.
    • Intuitive combat system allows player to alter types of attacks, take weapons from their defeated opponents and use their enemies' dismembered limbs as weapons.
    • Visual inventory system and onscreen weapons display allows the character to see available weapons at a glance.
    • Five distinctly different settings ranging from a Mountain Fortress, to the Deepest Cavern to the pits of Hell's domain.
