As previously mentioned, this is Act 5 of this story and thus it needs to be played using a character that has fought through the previous campaigns and is ranked up enough to tackle the high-level content of Ragnarok. This Nordic warrior-shaman class is adept at both steel and spell as they can buff their weapons with runes or use the same runes on the battlefield itself to control it.Īccessing the Runemaster – or actually just Ragnarok in general – is not a straightforward affair though. Well, actually armed with a little bit more than that as Ragnarok brings with it new weapons and gear, as well as a brand new tenth mastery in the form of the Runemaster. In an admittedly serviceable tale that lasts dozens of quests and about 12 hours of gameplay (you can probably cut that down if you’re not as obsessive-compulsive about clearing every tiny corner of a map as I am – I have a problem) you will travel from dark German forests to the halls of Asgard itself as once again humanity is pitted against godly wrath, armed with just blade or staff. Ostensibly the game’s Act 5, picking up where Immortal Throne left off after the battle with Hades, Ragnarok will transport heroes to faraway parts of the world by breaking out of its Greek roots to tackle the frigid gods and monsters of Norse mythology with some Celtic and Germanic history thrown in there as well for good measure.

When it comes to Ragnarok, the game’s second expansion after 2007’s Immortal Throne add-on, there isn’t much that’s surprising though – this is both a good and not-so-good thing. As agape as the news of a semi-sentient Cheetos chip becoming the US President left mouths last year though, for me there were few things that matched the pure outta-nowhere-ness of THQ Nordic suddenly announcing a brand new expansion for Titan Quest, the critically acclaimed action-RPG that was originally released all the way back in 2006. 2017 was certainly a year filled with plenty of surprises.
