About Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok
Explore the rich world of Nordic mythology! Egther, last of the Frost Giants, has sworn to turn all the world to ice. A young heroine is called to fight him, but first she must survive the harsh environment, battle hostile trolls, and deal with many creatures and characters from the classic myths.
Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is an adventure / RPG hybrid. Like in many adventure games, you have a world to save, and must use your wit, guile and inventory to puzzle your way through. Like in many roleplaying games, you can customize your character with various classes and skills, and must train yourself in combat to stand a chance against the fierce monsters in your way. Each class has her own solution to the numerous obstacles, where the warrior is the most straightforward to play, the sorceress focuses on smart solutions and finding the right spell for the situation, and the rogue cheats her way through life without getting caught.
The game is designed in the spirit and atmosphere of the classics, and strives to have the same high quality of art, music, and plot. With multiple character classes and several solutions to many puzzles, there are plenty of options for further replayability. The game has been voted voted 69th All-Time Best Computer RPG by RpgCodex. It is available completely for free, or as we like to call it, priceless.
"It's great to see a female-centric heroic quest." - Corey Cole
"The very definition of a labor of love ... makes the world of Jarnvidr feel alive to a degree rarely seen in point and click adventure games." - HardcodeGaming101
"I was still discovering new quests and things to do even on a third playthrough." - Last Token

nice point n click, works like a charm on deck
This is a fun game, very nostalgic of the Guest Fro Glory series, which I never did play. I feel is has potential. I also like that the characters do walk about the town during the day. However I did not know how to put my character to sleep, which resulted in me losing interest as I do not want to roam around and soon die from the cold.
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I grew up playing Sierra adventure games. Heroine's Quest is a well crafted and lovingly made tribute to Sierra's style of game development and a bygone era. This game plays and feels like Quest for Glory while maintaining a distinct identity and tone of its own. I can't say enough good things about it. If you loved QfG and Sierra's other series back in the day, or have always been curious to try a game like them, give it a go. The price is right!
It's basically a gender-swapped version of the first Hero's Quest/Quest for Glory game from Sierra online. One might call it a tribute. It has a much smoother interface than the original Sierra game. It's a good game, with charming graphics, nice music and voice acting, logical puzzles and different ways to overcome puzzles and situations depending on your character build giving this game some replayability as well! If you like point and click adventure games, I recommend it! It's also free, so really it's a shame not to play it!
