  • Leif, a viking with a double-edged battleaxe from 682 -- The Nordic Conquest
  • Wuulf, a knight with a long sword from 1202 -- Medieval Europe

Select a character and take on each of the other seven in each of their own time periods plus a clone of the character you selected in his or her own time era.

If you beat them all, your final opponent will be DEATH and you will be challenged to see if you can beat him. If you defeat DEATH, you will win and finish the entire game.
