Rune II is an action RPG set in Norse mythology. Play as a lone viking warrior, ressurected from the underworld to fight Loki and bring an end to Ragnarok.
Loki has found a way to manipulate the flow of time to create an infinite cycle of chaos. Rune II is broken into 90-minute real-time segments. Each cycle ushers in a new era: perpetual night, giant-filled lands, harsh ice-ridden landscapes, and more. You'll need to traverse many ages before amassing the power needed to defeat Loki.
Powerful artifacts can be found throughout Midgard - a land that Ragnarok has laid desolte. Artifacts are the key to opening the Realm Gate where Loki hides, and can grant the power necessary to defeat him once and for all.
Rebuild the longhouses that once stood across Midgard. Craft weapons, armour, and ships to traverse Ragnarok's fractured islands and find the artifacts. Brave the end of days alone or invite fellow warriors to join your journey through Ragnarok and face Loki.
