Heimdall
The Norse god and player character, who travels through the worlds to recover the stolen divine weapons.
How it plays
The game uses a primarily top-down perspective. Heimdall explores connected areas, fights hostile creatures, collects objects, and solves environmental puzzles while searching for the weapons required to advance.
Progression depends on exploring each world carefully, finding useful items, and returning to earlier locations when new equipment or information makes another route possible. Combat is real-time, and hazards or enemies can make navigation as important as direct fighting.
The DOS version is a single-player campaign with no documented multiplayer mode.
Plan your run
Search every accessible area before leaving it, and record locations where an item or route appears unusable. Many objectives depend on carrying the correct object to the correct place rather than defeating every enemy.
Conserve health and other limited resources when possible. Learn enemy movement patterns, avoid unnecessary confrontations, and revisit earlier regions after obtaining new equipment or abilities.
Keep several save files so that a missed item or an awkward combat situation does not force a complete restart.

Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds is an action-adventure game developed by 7th Sense and published by Core Design for DOS. It follows Heimdall as he travels through a network of mythological worlds to recover powerful weapons and confront the schemes threatening the Norse gods. The game combines top-down exploration, arcade-style combat, environmental puzzles, item collection, and light role-playing elements. Players move between distinct regions, investigate locations, and use acquired objects or abilities to open new routes. Its mixture of action and puzzle solving earned it a distinctive place among early 1990s computer adventures, although its difficulty and occasionally opaque progression can make it demanding for modern players.
