Developer’s Description

By Humanhead

You are a young Viking warrior on a mission to end the brutal raids on villages in a beautiful 3D world of Norse legend.

Rune is a third-person perspective game of intense action and adventure steeped in a blend of Norse mythology and high fantasy. Players must use their brains as well as their massive brawn to survive as they explore the fully 3D game world. Players must fight off the swords, axes, and magical devices of fantastic creatures from Norse legend and from the fertile minds of the Human Head staff.

Human Head has licensed Epic Games' Unreal Tournament engine and made several enhancements to it, including a skeletal animation system, a new particle effects system, and an enhanced shadowing system. Human Head created these enhancements to develop worlds with reactive elements, natural outdoor environments, and realistic cavern-like settings.
