Download the game from GoG. This release here is with shorten single player campaign on some places and multiplayer isn't working. GoG lets you install this version and the Rune GOLD version (1.08) which has active online servers.2 found this helpful
I won’t say much, but this game is a masterpiece! The level design is truly interesting, and the combat system may not reach the stars, but it can still surprise you. Definitely recommended, especially if you’re a fan of Blade of Darkness like I am! 20 out of 10!1 found this helpful
dude... do you know when people talk about a game being dated, and your like... "yeah, that doesnt really bug me..."? THIS IS THE TYPE OF DATED THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!! the combat and platforming is great, the story seems cool and the delivery is pretty... thor... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT... I CANT SEE ♥♥♥♥! I GET STUCK WAAAAAAY TOO MUCH! and that's getting stuck in a room trying to figure out what to do for like 30mins+ like wtf!? why are their no light cues or something that allows you to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SEE PATHS??????? i spent no joke, a collective two hours stuck trying to figure my way out of places only to realize most of the times it happens, theres a switch or a cracked wall... that is covered in soooo much shadow that it's almost impossible to see. I usually throw my weapons randomly or run around spamming ctrl after 20 mins being stuck in a single location trying to figure out how to progress... the ability to see is not the only issue, some progression is locked behind killing all enemies in an area. this can be an issue when the enemy is an idle crab that you mistake for level geometry because its idle in the corner of a room. when crabs are idle you dont see claw…
I went in expecting a clunky relic and instead got one of the most satisfying melee games I've ever played. Hacking limbs off goblins and then beating their friends with the severed arms never gets old, and eating live lizards to top off my health is exactly the kind of weird, gory fun this Norse adventure leans into. It ran fine for me at 1080p on Windows 10, though the brightness was way too dark until I tweaked it, and there's a notorious cutscene near the end that crashes unless you drop the sound to zero first. My one real gripe is that this Classic version cut some levels from the original Gold release, so grab the restoration mod if you want the full experience. Even with that caveat, the combat holds up better than most modern action games and I had a blast the whole way through.
Good game, combat is alright but not the main focus, it's all about exploring and traversing the levels.
Oh boy, Rune! That's where I'm a viking!
