The clanging of my sword against the armor of my enemies rings across the field of combat. Surrounded by the carnage of the battling gods, I push forward with my friend Droktarr (Gage).
To the left, the Norse goddess Freya blasts magical swords in our direction. On our right, the Hindu goddess of destruction Kali, is using one of her four arms to swing a deadly scythe towards us.
