Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is the latest adventure role-playing game from Crystal Shard, and it has just been released for free. The game presents a retro experience in the vein of the old-school series hinted at in its title.

Crystal Shard is an indie game design group bringing together people from all over the world, sharing the same desire of producing quality retro games for classic PC gaming enthusiasts.

Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is most likely an homage to Hero's Quest, a title striking a nostalgic chord in many of today's veteran gamers.

Heroine's Quest is an adventure/role-playing game hybrid that sends its players roaming through the world of Norse mythology, with three classes to choose from and countless puzzles to solve and a horde of foes to vanquish.

The game is designed in the spirit of the classics, sporting a retro visual style and offering the same plot-driven gameplay experience, over a series of more than 100 hand-painted backgrounds.
