Rune II |OT| Reset Ragnarok
- Thread starter Mr. Tibbs
- Start date
Whoa, had no idea this was coming out so soon. I'm not opposed to buying games on EGS, so will check it out once I've gotten through this fall's games. Thanks, OP!
I'm having a hard time getting a read on the single player/co-op experience. Is it a linear campaign?
Can't wait to give this a try once it comes out on Steam. I hope the additional funding and sales on other stores lets them improve what we last saw of the game.
And it could use better marketing, because I completely forgot about it with so many other games coming out.

Looks cool, have the Linux version of the original game, so hoping to play this one as well once it hits Steam.
Wait, so it's complete and out or in whatever EGS' version of early access is called?
That trailer does look a lot better than the previous videos, I'll give them that. Still unsure what a 2-ish year dev time would be able to pull off, but I'm hoping for good things. Will wait and see down the line
Don't waste your time and don't buy this game.
It's one of the worst games I've ever played.
Everything is horrible, performance is a lot of worse than RDR2 and Rune II looks like PS3 title with animations from Gothic 2.
Combat system and enemy AI are broken.
Also game is pretty dead in multiplayer. Full playerbase on this screenshoot:

Need more hot impressions lol, this Underworld Ascendant level broken?
Hopefully not.
Hopefully not.

I'm so utterly lost, does it have a fully fledged campaign or what
Rune 1 was beyond amazing in multiplayer

What would compel them to go Epic exclusive for a game with this small of a word of mouth. Why not get extra eyes on it through all storefronts. It's mindboggling.
Being EE is keeping me from checking it out at all.

Probably the fact that Epic paid them most if not all their development budget.
You answered your own question with the first sentence. There is a high chance of this not making it's money back. They can mitigate this risk by taking the check.
There is a small chance this would have been a huge success.
Oh my god is this terrible.
It is definitely not finished. AI is constantly getting stuck on terrain and just standing there. Tutorial pop ups are blank. Some have raw script code that appears and nothing else.
And even if it did work, it plays terribly. Combat is has zero weight, you just run and strafe and slash. Honestly Rune 1 had better combat .
It is also a really shoddy survival game on top of everything else. You have to punch trees and rocks to get resources, and you craft items and buildings.
The whole thing feels like one of the hundreds of generic asset swap survival games you see on Steam from a developer with one title.
I can't believe how far Human Head has fallen .

I didn't even realize this was releasing. After seeing this thread I hopped on YouTube looking for reviews and there's literally nothing.
Not a good sign.

I was so looking forward to this, but the game barely get more polished the closer it is to release, and the EGS deal just soured me on the game almost entirely.
Good job on the well done OP though. Hopefully the'll continue to improve the game.

Oof. Good thing that there's no user reviews system in EGS
It's really not that hard, a lot of these games go epic exclusive because they don't think they will sell in the first place. And it seems doubly true in this case given the word of mouth.
I have bought a couple games I didn't like on the Epic store so far, but I ate the cost because I thought there was no refund policy.
This game however is so terrible I was going to write Epic to demand a refund. Then I saw that Epic actually has the exact same refund policy as Steam.
Thank god, I would be pissed if I got stuck with this game
What an odd banner at the top of the epic game page
Yeah it's almost like they know their game is garbage and they just gave up. It is really fucked up to try to sell it in its current state, there is no way the dev could be unaware that it is unfinished. How did Epic let them release this? It is not a good look for their storefront.
This whole thing is just sad.
So much for careful curation. Looks like Epic paid for a dud, and the developer didn't bother using the money they received from Epic, to improve Rune 2.
The finished product looks pretty poor, but I can't help but feel this could've been a great game.
My question is why was it released like this? Pretty much just dropped on the store with no fanfare. Not a single review was on YouTube when I checked last night.

Help I'm on fire
Come jump in my boat
What is this. What is that supposed to be?
Sorry, I was under the impression that you worked for human head games?
I was genuinely interested in getting this but now I'm just glad I saved the money. Hopefully their supposed updates and support do bring the game to NMS Beyond levels for those who sadly did end up making the purchase. For me personally, I have little interest in redemptive arcs for games that knowingly send out titles that are so fundamentally broken. Whatever fixes they have planned are things that should have never even been broken before being put on sale. I get that Epic is eager for an exclusive with name recognition but I'll never understand the desire to not just do the work to make it something worth buying. Launches like this just undermine the very image of benevolent Steam alternative that they're so eager to establish.
It was likely sent to die for reasons outside of EGS exclusivity
Lawsuit!
So there is a new update or remake of sorts done by the people who took the game over and its launching on steam soon?
