Runemaster

From Chaos Rises a Norse Legend

With Runemaster, Paradox Development Studio invites you to a fantasy realm etched in the rich history of Norse mythology.

Description

In this RPG, you are a hero in a time of chaotic upheaval. Explore the six worlds of Norse mythology, amass your forces and vanquish your enemies on the battlefield in the name of your chosen God. Will you choose to enforce change for those that crave it or will you seek to maintain the status quo - for better or worse?

You, alone can determine the fate of the world.

You, alone are the master of your own saga.

Features

Vast vistas to explore: Wander the six worlds of Norse myth, from the lofty forests of Midgard to the fires of Muspelheim. Each time you start a new campaign, the world is procedurally generated to ensure each adventure is a venture into the exciting and unknown.

Rich tactical combat: Recruit and command an expansive range of units with unique abilities. Learn to use your troops – and the terrain of the battlefield – to crush your enemies.

Emergent storytelling: Who you are and the choices you make have a direct impact on the journeys you embark on. The game's procedural quest system will take note of your deeds and challenge you accordingly. No two playthroughs will ever be the same.

The premise sounds promising.

The screenshots don't look exactly spectacular, though. And it seems to be geared towards use of controllers? (Which needn't necessarily be bad.)











I like that they're doing something completely new for a change. I like the concept on paper a lot, so it'll be interesting to see how it looks in completion.

I think you mean the screenshots you dreadfully outdated (or indie).

[Scipio]

Well, it's no Rolemaster.

The reaction was to your comment (with which I agree), not the typo (which I didn't notice due to lack of coffee).

[Kleves]

Judging by the graphics, they're developing the game for the PS2.

You, alone are the master of your own saga.

Uh-oh.

[Liep]

It's the Clausewitz engine, you can't expect the map to be many levels above sucks.

You, alone are the master of your own saga.

Uh-oh.
