You play as Heimdall - a god based on Norse mythology. Heimdall's task is to protect the entrance to Asgard, the home of the gods, from all evil, including the terrible Ragnarok. Loki, the cunning god, steals three magical weapons from the gods - Thor's hammer, Odin's sword and Freyno's spear - and is about to weaken the divine forces in the coming Ragnarok, the end of the world. And so Heimdall must go to Midgard (Earth), Utgard (the world of giants) and Asgard itself to bring the stolen artifacts back. Each world has 15 islands divided into many rooms. When you start the mission, you must complete three mini-games. If you manage them well, you will influence Heimdall's statistics and the number of characters you can choose to party. Then you can roam the world, solve puzzles and kill enemies until you find each of the divine artifacts.
