A classic!

Rune Classic, a heroic third-person action game firmly rooted in the dark realm of the olden Norse mythology, coming complete with the Halls of Valhalla expansion to deliver one of the most memorable multi-player experiences of all time, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

Yggdrasil, the immense tree at the center of the world, will tremble like a young aspen in the north wind as the armies of all realms will clash in the war that ends all wars: the Ragnarök. Loki, the mad god of strife and chaos, will escape his shackles and set afire Midgard, the world of men, to suffocate Asgard, the land of gods with thick black smoke of burning souls. So have the Skalds foretold, so have the Norns seen with their blind eyes, so it shall be. The wheels of war have been already set in motion, and the mystical runestones keeping the world in balance are now in peril. It's up to you, a young initiate in the sacred Order of Odinsblade, to strike against the foes of harmony and push the inevitable end back a few centuries again. So it has happened before, and so it shall happen again.

Rune Classic, a classic third-person perspective action game, inspired by the heroic sagas of Norse mythology, will take you on a journey of bravery, honor, and blood. As Ragnar, a young Viking warrior newly initiated to the sacred Odinsblade Order, you'll be tasked to protect the mystical runestones, created by the one-eyed father of gods himself, to bind the evil Loki and stop him from causing chaos and suffering. On top of the exciting and challenging single-player campaign, the Halls of Valhalla expansion provides Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Arena, and Headball multi-player modes, that can keep you entertained for many more hours. With the surprisingly well-executed hand-to-hand combat mechanics, engrossing theme, and graphics that aged very well, this title belongs in the gaming collection of every dark fantasy and action fan.

Answer Odin's call to stay up all night to get Loki, and cancel the Ragnarök in Rune Classic, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The promo lasts until Tuesday, January 14, at 10:59AM GMT.
Has this been on promo before or did I just get it when it released?

Splatsch: It seems that there is some levels who where took out from the "classic" version :

If it bothers you, there seems to be a way to fix this :

And there is the "Gold Version" included, wich is the "full" original.

I have a little question : in Rune Gold, what are the languages included ? Only English ? Is French included ?

kit64: All langaues are listed here, and yes -- French is included.
Okay, I thought it was only for the "Classic" version and not necessarily for the Gold too ! Thanks ! :)
*Go buy*

Edit: Bought it. Only English in the Gold version :/

I'm wondering the same thing having heard the multiplayer is great fun. Hopefully people are still playing. It is amazing how some classic games still have their fans playing and I hope this is one of them.

WAV is lossless so we figured folks who like soundtracks would appreciate that :) OGG is basically an MP3 but with a smaller footprint and based on an open source format, Ogg Vorbis :)

Hope that helps :)
