Rune (video game)
Video game
Rune is an action-adventure video game developed by Human Head Studios and released in 2000, built on the Unreal Engine. Based on Norse mythology, it follows Ragnar, a young Viking warrior initiated into the Odinsblade, an order sworn to protect the runestones that bind the evil god Loki and prevent him from unleashing Ragnarok. Players fight man-eating fish, goblins, zombies, Norse dwarves and rival Vikings with swords, axes and maces or hammers, each weapon having a Rune Power, and can enter a Berserk Mode after enough quick kills. It also offers multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch and an active clan community. It received generally positive reviews and was followed by the Halls of Valhalla expansion in 2001, a PlayStation 2 port called Rune: Viking Warlord, the 2012 digital re-release Rune Classic and a sequel, Rune II, in 2019. Atlas Games published a pen-and-paper adaptation.
