DESCRIPTION

Rune: Halls of Valhalla is a release that focuses on enhancing the multiplayer aspects of the successful third-person 3D action game Rune from Human Head Studios. While the title can serve as an expansion pack for the original game, Rune: Halls of Valhalla can also run as a stand-alone game for online multiplayer battles. The release includes new maps and skins for multiplayer contests and adds two new modes of competition, Arena and HeadBall.

Arena puts the player in a viciously competitive playing field, full of monsters and other warriors, in which the victor is the one fighter left standing when the battle is over. There are also options for two- and three-player teams in Arena. HeadBall makes gory use of the game's localized character damage capabilities, as the object is to score points by lofting an enemy's severed head through a goal. HeadBall can also be set up such that other severed body parts can be used to score points as well. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
