In this 1-4 player strategic board game, you will lead a unique, asymmetric hero and their army, trying to be the ultimate victor in a war that unfolds over approximately 120 minutes. Players will choose from various actions, such as building monuments, hunting monsters, ravaging the lands, gathering armies and artifacts.
Gods will grant you blessings that will heavily impact the game and create a unique combo for each player. On top of all that, special runes will play a significant role in leveling up your armies or earning other bonuses that include control of deadly monsters.
While the game is spiritual successor of Lords of Hellas and implements a lot of core gameplay aspects, there will be a lot of new mechanics and twists, so prepare yourself for fresh, new thematic experience!
Multiple victory conditions will keep players at the edge of their seats until the end of the game, making room for some stunning, carefully planned last-minute reversals!

There's a lot going on, it feels a bit unwieldy at first, but once you grasp everything going on it real does a good job of bring all the elements together. There are different avenues to focus on, and while it's easy to race the angle you've chasing, but don't lose sight of what your opponents are doing! The techno slant seems a bit muted compared to Hellas (though I don't mind). Very high "cool factor" for me. Won't be for everyone, but if you're into this sort of game it's another solid hit for Mr. Kwapiński.

Right now a surprising positive 9. Played some games with 3 people. The game was every time very dense an not clear who will win. Very exciting game. Can be played very fast for an intense experience.

I rated Lords of Hellas at 9.5. It's a fantastic game. Lords of Ragnarok, on the other hand, is not a fantastic game. The games components I haven't had any of those issues, but it might have something to do with configuration, so I made some adjustments to see if I could duplicate your problems. I typically plug the receiver into a pedal, but tried plugging it directly into my amp, and then moved the receiver around like a clock. I noticed that, when I moved it closer to the speaker, I was able to hear a slight hissing sound, so I decided to place some of my bigger PA speakers close to the receiver, and the interference increased, but only slightly. Then I reset my configuration, so I could test another theory. With the receiver plugged back into a pedal, I moved some of the power cables closer to the receiver, and the static/hissing was very noticeable. Much more prevalent than the previous speaker configuration test. I have 4 theories as to the source of the static/hissing you are experiencing. First, the speaker magnets are causing the static/hissing. Second, the electric field from the amp, and/or power cables are causing the static/hissing. Third, it's a combination of those two things. Lastly, you may have a defective product, which may need to be returned for a replacement. I recommend trying to adjust your configuration first, to eliminate the possibility that it's the components, and/or cables causing the static/hissing, because replacing it isn't going to help if those things are causing the problem. As far as the issue with the loss of volume, without hearing it, and/or using a decibel/SPL meter, I can't offer any suggestions. I can tell you, from personal experience, that a slight loss of sound is the nature of the beast, when it comes to these cordless devices. Spending more money, on better tech, reduces some of these issues. It's the same issue with cordless headphones, which I also own. When I'm using both, while practicing guitar, the loss of volume is extremely noticeable, but my headphones aren't top of the line. Unfortunately, there's usually a sacrifice when it comes to convenience, and price. When you use WiFi for your computer, it's difficult to get the same speed , and performance that you had with wired connection, with the same router/modem. If you have a WiFi router/modem, that didn't cost you a small fortune, try running a speed test with, and without a wired connection. It's night and day. The better the router/modem, the better the WiFi speed is, but the more it's going to cost you to close that gap. If you're like me, I can't afford the high-end stuff, so I have to decide if the sacrifices are worth it, when I'm thinking about purchasing middle-end, or lower-end tech. Anyway, I hope some of these things help. play a great game with mediocre components, then play a mediocre game with great components. After 13 playthroughs, I think most of the 'Win' conditions are either unlikely, or not possible. It really seems like there wasn't enough, or any play testing. The only reason I played 13 games is because I kept thinking that I was doing something wrong. After loaning it to a friend, that doesn't appear to be the case. They were having the same issues i was having. I can not recommend this game to anyone.
