Rune: Ragnarok is an action RPG developed by Human Head, which is a sequel to the cult classic game called Rune, released in 2000.

Despite the pervasive death and destruction, there is no end to the conflict.
Rune: Ragnarok is an action RPG released for PC. This is a sequel to Dead Man’s Hand.
Rune: Ragnarok takes the player to a fantasy realm inspired by the Norse mythology. The game is set seven years into Ragnarok, that is the Vikings’ vision of the apocalypse. Despite many battles and disasters, there seems to be no end to gods inflicting humans, therefore, the mankind decides to take the matter into their own hands and put an end to the slaughter. This, however, is not easy, because that goal can only be achieved by slaying at least several gods of the Nordic Pantheon.
While the first Rune was a straightforward action game with linear maps, Rune: Ragnarok for PC is a an open world sandbox RPG. When starting the game you choose to side with one of several gods. That choice determines what specialties will be open before you. While playing you get to explore the world, complete missions, talk to non-player characters and develop your hero’s skills.
The developer has prepared a large variety of missions. In the game you can raid enemy settlements, fight the dead, sail across the sea toward new lands and craft ever more powerful gear.
However, the core of gameplay is combat. The developer prepared an extensive and highly brutal combat system with much focus on action, which lets you perform a variety of strikes and attacks. Using that you can fight all sorts of enemies: both human opponents and monsters.

Game Ratings for Rune II Video Game.
Screen Rant: 1.5 / 5 by Ty Sheedlo
19 years in the making, Rune II comes as a massive disappointment to fans of the original.
Wccftech: 4 / 10 by Rosh Kelly
Rune II lacks the imagination, experimentation and fleshed out mechanics that would have made stomping through the Viking end times a fun experience.
Killa Penguin: 7 / 10 by Jake Arias
Calling this game unpolished would be an understatement (in many ways, it’s outright broken), but the story is filled with enough absurd turns to work as a semi-comedic adventure, and the mechanics blend several genres together into something enjoyably old-school. Rune II: Decapitation Edition took its lemons and made lemonade.
