As previously espoused, one can choose from four different playable characters – Thor the Warrior, Thyra the Valkyrie, Questor the Elf and Merlin the Wizard – and step forth into battle against numerous enemies including deadly bosses, while also trying to survive lethal traps and the possibly dastardly/nefarious underhanded ways of you co-op (both local and online) buddies, all to attain glory, treasure and “succulent turkey”!

Meanwhile the clip below gives us a good look at what to expect from the top-down hack ‘n’ slash game, which features the four main characters – Thor the Warrior, Thyra the Valkyrie, Questor the Elf and Merlin the Wizard, each of whom have their own unique strengths and abilities. We see how the game has transformed from the 1980’s arcade classic into a more contemporary action-RPG, while retaining elements which made the original so much fun; so expect fast-paced combat and tons of enemies, hand-crafted as well as procedurally generated dungeons to explore, secrets to discover and various gear (armour, weapons and powerful relics) and perks to acquire.

We also have a short new trailer for the game below. This video comes just ahead of E3, and gives us a glimpse into the morbid world of Hellraid, and its deceased/demonic inhabitants; one also gets to see a bit of the melee and magic combat in play, with the former looking very satisfying and visceral with axes and swords decapitating enemies. Check out our previous articles for more screenshots, info and the debut trailer.
