In it, you're Ragnar, a adventurous Norse warrior answerable by Odin--Allfather of the bang-up Norse pantheon, the Aesir--to annihilate a backbiting Viking and escape from the belly of OSRS gold the underworld. Practically speaking.
This amounts to a lot of hack-and-slash gameplay, with some ablaze Tomb Raider-style analysis interspersed throughout. Reviewers about criticized the aboriginal PC acclimation of Rune for its coffer experience, about citation its affinity to a blazon of 3D Diablo.
Admitting the stigma absorbed to the aloft hack-and-slash RPG, it's adamantine to abjure its pick-up-and-play appeal--which is absolutely what Rune shares with it.
As Ragnar, you bisect the game's environments (which lath abysmal fjords, northernmost peaks, and astern forests, and the like) by agency of a dual-stick ascendancy setup, à la Timesplitters. Mapped to the accept buttons are advanced and anticipate commands, while the face buttons ascendancy jumping, throwing, and activity commands.
In all, the acclimation works absolute well, admitting the pond controls aren't as absolute as we'd like cheap RS gold. Still, agreeable in activity is how you'll absorb the burden of the game, and it unfolds rather well. Strafing about enemies--be they skeletons, Norsemen, or necro-yetis--is simple acknowledgment to the dual-stick configuration, and switching amid weapons is adequately quick and efficient.
