Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok

About Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok

Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is a 2D adventure RPG with a high focus on depicting Norse mythological tradition. ###Gameplay The player follows the path of Heroine through the number of 2D pixel-art locations stylized for 90s games. The RPG element brings classes, skill trees, and looting system into the title. The available classes are warrior, mage, and thief. One of the main focuses is on the realism — the game features a vast variety of deaths, for instance, death from frostbite if the character does not dress well; death from hunger in case the protagonist forgot to eat, and death from poisoning if the hero ate a suspicious flower in a middle of a woods. The battles are not of the primary locus here — nonetheless, the system is simple and concentrated on hitting, casting spells and dodging in the appropriate time. ###Plot The player follows a storyline of a heroine who is destined to prevent Ragnarok — the death of all the living creatures according to the Norse mythology. The Valhalla stories, as well as the Tales of Nine Worlds here, are cleverly mixed-up with the postmodernist gags, forth wall-breaks, and even Harry Potter references. The game's source of inspiration is often confused with Skyrim. However, the developers say, that story resembles Quest for Glory in various ways.
