EB:
Rune was one of the most fun, crazy games that I got to play at E3 this year, and I got to play it co-op with one of the devs. In a nutshell, it’s an open world Viking simulator packed to the brim with lore, fighting, magic, survival elements, and endless fun. During my time with the game, I hunted frost giants, sailed around between frozen islands with my partner, and transformed into a giant myself. When you start the game, you can create your character, I gave mine a mullet and a handlebar mustache, as any Viking worth his salt would have. You can also pick a god to worship which is somewhat like picking a class, I believe I picked Thor, which was basically like being a tank. I was proficient in cleaving heads off and taking hits from multiple enemies at once, and it was a blast.
Twenty years ago, the classic Viking hack-and-slash that started it all, RUNE, opened its hallowed halls to aspiring warriors around the world. Today Human Head Studios swings open the doors once again as its spiritual successor RUNE II is now available in the Epic Games Store for $29.99/£29.99. Experience a savage Norse adventure where gods have lost control, undead evils infest the land, and the remaining humans struggle to restore Midgard as the mad Loki smiles at the destruction of a world without end.
Back in the year 2000, developer Human Head Studios created an action-packed RPG called Rune for PC and PlayStation. Now, 18 years later, Human Head is back with a re-imagining of the franchise. OnlySP recently spoke to the team to find out more about the ambitious game.
