When you started the game you were thrust back into the land of the living with a timer ticking down in the upper corner of the screen.

The game that launched in November was apparently considerably different to what I am now playing. Since I am going through the “install all the games to play on the new rig” phase of new hardware, I stumbled upon this game in my library and thought to give it a shot. Based on what I am reading it was really not well received because the core loop of the gameplay was a bit flawed. I picked it up… and then promptly forgot about it and never actually played during the launch cycle last November. I had never played the first game, or at least I don’t remember playing the first game but what I was seeing about the sequel looked pretty cool. So last winter I happened upon a game that looked interesting called Rune II, that was an epic games store exclusive. Hey Friends! There are times when it is actually a good thing that I have way too many games fighting for my attention. Alternatively, it can be sold to a merchant for the same value. Golden Rune can be used as a quick item (or directly from the inventory) to gain 400 Runes.
