Ragnarok is a campaign-driven skirmish game in which players form a
Viking war clan seeking to prove itself worthy of becoming the new
pantheon. The use of a mechanic called Godspark means that battles are
no longer determined by merely striking an opponent and dealing damage.
Instead, warriors will be pushing, throwing, and crashing their
opponents around the battlefield, making their very environment a
weapon. As the war clans develop, they may gain glorious new powers that
will bring them closer to godhood, or win the respect of the denizens of
the realms, allowing them to bring dire wolves, dwarves, and even the
dreaded giants into their war clans. With strategic gameplay and epic
storytelling, players must write their own sagas and tell of how their
war clans have, through blood and steel, clawed their way up from ruin
to stand before the halls of Valhalla.
The end of the Aesir has come, but not as the prophecies foretold. The
dread dragon Niddhoggr has devoured the roots of the World Ash,
Yggdrasil, and the great tree has toppled onto its side, crashing the
realms of mortal and supernatural together. With the gods dead and the
fires of ruin consuming the world, your war clan of Viking warriors know
what they must do to survive the destruction of the Nine Realms and
restore order: they must become the new gods!
