Description
Explore the rich world of Nordic mythology! Egther, last of the Frost Giants, has sworn to turn all the world to ice. A young heroine is called to fight him, but first she must survive the harsh environment, battle hostile trolls, and deal with many creatures and characters from the classic myths.

Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is an adventure / RPG hybrid. Like in many adventure games, you have a world to save, and must use your wit, guile and inventory to puzzle your way through. Like in many roleplaying games, you can customize your character with various classes and skills, and must train yourself in combat to stand a chance against the fierce monsters in your way. Each class has her own solution to the numerous obstacles, where the warrior is the most straightforward to play, the sorceress focuses on smart solutions and finding the right spell for the situation, and the rogue cheats her way through life without getting caught.

The game is designed in the spirit and atmosphere of the classics, and strives to have the same high quality of art, music, and plot. With multiple character classes and several solutions to many puzzles, there are plenty of options for further replayability. The game has been voted voted 69th All-Time Best Computer RPG by RpgCodex. It is available completely for free, or as we like to call it, priceless.

Fun game.

I used to play this on steam, this is a game inspired by the classic "Quest for glory" every choices has consequences for your well being and puzzles. There are 3 classes: warrior wizard and Rogue. Warrior is pretty straight forwards when it comes to solve problems and puzzles by brute force. Wizard can be fun too, similar to the warrior is pretty straight forward if you have the right spell, just keep looking at libraries, runes or secrets for learning new spells. Rogue is a bit more dishonored class(also the hardest), this one you really have to be smart with the puzzles and have the right tools and attributes if you want to steal or avoid hard battles, this one also easier to make money.

What a loveletter

The Quest for Glory influence is unmistakable. I'm glad to see this title finally on GoG. I would have gladly paid money for this game, it makes me feel that giddy.

One of my all time favourites

An awful lot of effort went into this and i have had the pleasure of revisiting this world over the years. it is so well made , much better than other full price games and this was given away for nothing. Well worth playing and the soundtrack is fantastic.

Game is fun

The game is fun, so I don`t get why people give it such low ratings. The pixel art is good, the music too. It feels like a nice classic game. I really like the mixture of Point&Click adventure, RPG and Rougelike. The fighting happens in real time with a user friendly keyboard button pushing fighting system. If you die, your character stays dead, the only exception is, when you save. Didn't came that far, so can't judge the saving system yet. The story looks interesting enough to make me want to play it more. I recommend it so far. If there should be any annoying things to add, I will update my review.

What we're here for

I played Heroine's Quest back when Crystal Shard first released it, still have the files but doesn't wanna run. Was very glad to see GoG picked it up. If it's as I recall, there'll be a bit of grindiness to get all the Sorceress spells and relearning the timing to dodge decapitation swings, but there's a hell of a lot more fun gameplay and exploring (and fights, if you're into those, no worries) than fiddly bits. And it's been a while since casting magic flared my character's eyes and made her hair radiate out. They get the feel right. :-)
