"Nothing in the game really offered up much of a challenge, and the enemies were just an annoyance until the third episode. The combat system, while primitive and stripped down to your bare essentials of jump, strafe and swing, is really what makes Rune so damn fun. Who knew that chopping off your foe's head with a long sword cold be more fun than blowing him up with a rocket launcher? To make things a little more interesting, each of the fifteen melee combat weapons comes with its own special Rune Power. My favorites were the Dwarven Battle Sword's avalanche attack, in which large stones are hurled at your enemy every time you swing, the Dwarven Work Sword's incredibly useful lightning attack, and Sigurd's Axe and its deadly freeze attack."
