Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds PC

Demon of destruction named Loki once again invaded Midgard, this time with a horde of hellish warriors Hakrat. Perhaps people who live in this mythical world would be able to overcome it, if not for the trick that this evildoer committed. Taking advantage of the inattention of the Nordic Gods, Loki stole three powerful weapons from Thor, Odin and Frey. No supernatural being could forgive such an insult. Heimdall decided to report to the uneven fight, who, going into the world of mortals, wanted not only to regain priceless artifacts, but also once again to deal with the Loki, this time once and for all. But will it succeed? This is your worry.

The Core Design product is a representative of the action-adventure genre, which also contains elements characteristic for RPGs. Although the plot clearly defines the main character, Heimdall will not really be the only one who is looking for a way to eliminate Loki. Heimdall and Ursha are described by several coefficients. The most important are, of course, combat possibilities, because fighting in the Nordic world will be both difficult and frequent. The player will also be able to use magic as long as he can find the right runes and recipes for how to combine them in order to get the effect. Considering that both are extremely rare goods from the beginning of the game, you will have to use only traditional forms of extermination of opponents, and here - interestingly - Ursha performs better.

The game has of course numerous adventure puzzles, which are usually limited to delivering the item from one place to another. Sometimes you will also have to deal with "off-road" tasks: hit a button from a curve, find a hidden passage and so on. You also have to collect the money scattered here and there, which you can exchange in shops located here and there for weapons or objects restoring health or magical energy.

Graphics in isometric projection makes a pleasant impression. Nothing good can be said about control. If we press the key once, our hero will go in the chosen direction until we turn or encounter an obstacle. This causes huge problems during the fight, e.g. it is difficult to stand in a convenient position to shoot from the bow. The character menu is only supported with the mouse.
