Heads Fly In Footage From Viking Fantasy RPG Rune

IGN have released an extended gameplay video for the upcoming Nordic fantasy RPG Rune, and it’s filled with enough decapitations to make even the government of Saudi Arabia blush.
In addition to the severed heads, the footage also gives us a look at various different areas within the game’s large world, including snow covered mountain tops and rivers which will need to be traversed by boat, and although most of the enemies featured are human, we also see that we’ll be going up against wolves and trolls. According to Hardcore Gamer, the player will be able to pick up the severed arms of their foes to use as weapons, and will also need to eat lizards to regain health, so it looks like nothing will be safe within the world of Rune.
Keep in mind that this is alpha footage, hence why it looks a little rough around the edges (especially when a tree appears to pop out of the ground at 2:33), but overall, it’s a good indication of what we can expect from the final product.
Developed by the appropriately named Human Head Studios, Rune (official website) will be a sequel to their 2000 RPG of the same name, and will be heading to PC, and possibly consoles, later this year.
