Giant Bomb has a "quick look" out with 40ish minutes of gameplay. I made it through about 5 minutes before confirming it's not a game for me and stopping the video. YMMV.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
So it turned from action platformer with light RPG elements, tight dungeon design and good combat into... yet another crafting game among the 5 million already existing crafting games on Steam?

Ok then.

Ben's voice makes my skin crawl, so I can't listen to that, but I just want to know 1 thing. Is there still single player mode?

I only watched a little, but he chooses a "solo" mode I believe. It looks just like that Conan game or a thousand others like it though, online focused "survival," so playing solo is probably boring as fuck.

MADISON, WI – July 18, 2019 – Ragnarok approaches! Human Head Studios announced today that warriors can now pre-order its upcoming action RPG RUNE II and gain access to the Deathmatch beta! With pre-order purchases, players will also be granted exclusive weapons, armor, maps, and the game’s soundtrack, along with instant access to the Deathmatch beta from July 18 - July 20. It’s kill or be killed in this action packed bloodfest - are you strong enough to survive?

Not sure how to be a Viking? Check out the newly released ‘How to Become a Viking!’ trailer, where aspiring warriors can study the steps to becoming a true Norse legend! Drink Mead! Eat Lizards! Mmm Delicious!

July 18: 2PM - 8PM

July 20: 9AM - 3PM

In RUNE II's fast-paced Deathmatch mode, kill your friends, your enemies, and your frenemies with a variety of different weapons, such as swords, spears, axes, war hammers, and even human limbs. Rush to control the divine chests that drop across the field and you'll be handsomely rewarded. With consumable runes that grant you godly powers like the ability to call down Mjolnir's lightning or a short teleport behind your opponents, death is always a left click away. Will it be your opponents...or yours?

Alone or with friends, you will battle legions of Loki’s minions in brutal melee combat, travel the world collecting rare resources, locate precious artifacts to weaken the Realm Gate and craft the mightiest weapons the Nine Realms have ever seen. Are you powerful enough to take down Loki… or will a new age of darkness begin?

I just got an email saying that the updated build took a lot of my feedback into account and they wanted me to check it out. Looking forward to it. It looks like a lot of good progress has been made. The FOV makes a hell of a lot of a difference.

So i played it for an hour....and it is pretty shit. The game is extreamlly badly optimised and looks like shit. It was meant to be one of those punching threes survival games,but it ended up as this. The enemy AI is non existent,they just run toward you and try to attack. I deleted it after an hour,it is waste of time,don't bother.

Edit: Looks like another Level Design-free borefest.

Level and quest design has plummeted so much the last handful of years. Developers have learned most people are fine with vapid busywork and have prioritized their resources accordingly.
