Konung 2: Blood of Titans

The sequel to Legend of the North: Konung, from Russian developer 1C. Set in the same Scandinavian fantasy realm as the previous title, Konung 2 is the story of 6 great heroes who are all descended from the legendary Titans (hence the game’s subtitle).  They include Anastasia, the Byzantine archer; Alexander, the fencing master; Helga, the healer; Ratibor, the battle axe-wielding elder; Ejnar, the ferocious ex-prisoner; and Velmira, the vengeful swordswoman.

With the land under the evil spell of the Dark Master, one of these heroes (selected by the player before the game begins) will take the lead on a quest to vanquish the Master and set things right once again.  Dialogue and numerous side quests supplement the main storyline, which unfolds in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings.

Besides the obvious fantasy-RPG elements, Konung 2 follows its predecessor in incorporating real-time strategy elements.  You can direct a party of up to 10 characters into battle simultaneously, and there is also a town management component.
