Rune 2
It was foretold that during Ragnarok, the gods would fall and the nine realms would be consumed by frost and fire… but it is not what happened. The gods did not perish. Instead, for seven terrible years, giants, beasts, and the undead have ravaged the realms while the gods inexplicably withheld their protection. Immersed in darkness and chaos, mankind’s own world of Midgard lies captive in the cruel grasp of maniacal Loki.
As a hardened Viking warrior, RUNE II players will align with their chosen god as they pillage villages for powerful weapons and armor, complete quests for their deity and receive blessings of strength and magic. Your quest is simple – destroy Loki, but you needn’t do it alone. Team up with your Viking allies to gain the benefits of shared experience and the strength that only comes in numbers.
Time is against you. Loki will reset Ragnarok keeping Midgard in an endless apocalypse. Rise, Warrior! Save yourself and all of mankind from the Norse apocalypse.
Once-beautiful Midgard lies in ruins, disfigured and drowned. Braving destruction and death, stalk your ravaged world in search of Loki’s minions…and the Trickster himself. Where Ragnarok has warped the land most, there you may find the most powerful weapons and resources..
Brave the end of days alone or invite fellow warriors to accompany you through Ragnarok. Together, sail a fleet of longships to overrun enemy fortresses, battle side by side against giants and enormous monsters, and stand as one to face Loki himself. Add to the madness of Ragnarok in brutal PvP battles to see who may be the most feared Viking in Midgard.
Align with a Norse god to receive unique abilities and skills to aid you on your quests. Do you align with Thor, who grants you strength? Or with Hel, who gives you power over the dead? Or perhaps the Allfather himself, Odin, who will grant you additional protection from the dangerous world? Choose wisely.
Rune 2 Review
Rune 2 is a game that doesn’t feel comfortable in any genre. One player may focus on its action, noting that the simplistic one button to attack, one to block is rudimentary and unsatisfying. A stamina gauge limits spamming either (and prevents constant retreat via sprinting) but players will still quickly find that each fight plays out more or less the same. Even with the addition of a strong attack and a later Rune power, there’s little variety to battle. Hordes of enemies will move towards the player, and they have to kite around them, separating or flanking, until only they remain; it’s satisfying, but only briefly.
Players more interested in Rune II’s RPG elements will also be disappointed by the lackluster amount of polish. The player character levels up by killing enemies, completing missions, and reading the lore of the world from glowing glyphs around the map. But leveling up only does so much, granting players with increased stats to health, stamina, etc. Additional powers and abilities are few and far between, most only either single-use or with massive cooldowns. What is present in the game are some of the more tedious aspects of the genre, like the need for crafting and degrading weapons and armor. The player will find themselves constantly in need of a campfire to cook boar or deer meat, and must make careful use of Longhouses, cabins that can be constructed in set locations by chopping down trees.
What Rune II offers that sets it apart is its co-op and PVP additions. Players that are dying to enter the world of Norse mythology with a friend may overlook the game’s bland visual style and monotonous combat. With friends or randoms, players can enter a lobby for 2-4 others and battle Loki as a team. They’ll do more or less the same activities, roaming around, collecting artifacts, battling grunts and mini-bosses. The addition of a friend or pair of friends adds very little, but it may be enough to attract some fans. As for the Deathmatch (the versus component of multiplayer), your time is better spent in fully-polished AAA games like For Honor.
