Rune is one of the best hack and slash games I've ever played. The gameplay remains solid even compared to newer games of the same genre. There are 15 weapons to use. There's puzzles to solve. Then there's food to eat and ale to guzzle when you're wonded from the slaughtering. The multiplayer still works, though there are a few tweaks and quirks to fiddle with depending on whether or not you use a router or have custom firewall settings in order to play with others on Steam version servers. There are a number of older version servers running and active that Steam users can join and play on.
I recommend this game to anyone that likes full 360 degree splatterhouse games.

One of the Best games ever made, no question about it,

Have to ask how gaming has become nothing but cash-grab development when a game like this is 10 bucks but most modern games are silly platformers made with almost no effort and they cost more than this..

I have recieved a number of contacts in the last couple of years that read my first review for Rune Classic and most ask about the multiplayer aspect. Sadly, Valve's 1.10 version of the game has a glitch in the matchmaking code that doesn't allow many people running the Steam version to be seen or see others with 1.10 version within the in-game server listing. I tried for months to find a fix for this issue. The only way I was able to reliably see others with 1.10 version or to be seen in the game's server listing by anyone else was by using a VPN (virtual private network) app to get around this problem. Rune Is still a great old game that still has play value as one of the best hack n slash games ever made so anyone that wants to play it, please do a topic on Steam's forum for the game and ask Valve or Human Head Studios to please fix the matchmaking problem with v1.10.
