How To Play RUNE: Combat Part 1

In this video I teach you the basic rules for combat in RUNE while walking through the first tutorial scenario of the playtest.
RUNE is a solo RPG inspired by soulslike games such as Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. It is being developed by Spencer Campbell of Gila RPGs and currently in development.

Thank you so much!

As someone that love creating games mechanics, especially for combat I absolutely love your emulation of the combat system of the souls game, great work that is really clever ! I'm excited to try this :)

[@GilaRPGs]

Thank you so much!

I really like the 4x4 grid! One problem I've had with solo Skirmish Games is how much space they take up.

Hi, just new to the game and I am bit confused, was the "+1 harm when in the same space" rule been removed from the final version of the game? I would expect to find it in the explanation of step 5 of combat but...

[@GilaRPGs]

That rule was not included in the final version of the game

[@Exluso]

@@GilaRPGs Thanks! You just saved my sanity, looking forward to meet that rule again in who knows what forgotten realm. Looks like there is much to explore here

While I was watching this it was messing with me that the player was on the top and I was wondering why? Then I thought, most retro video games have trained me that players are at the bottom of the screen to start.

[@GilaRPGs]

It's totally arbitrary. You can start on the bottom if you want!

[@malchitos]

@@GilaRPGs lol I'm so trained....I blame Space Invaders and Galaga.

I like the AI idea.
