Beowulf

In the game Beowulf: A Hero's Journey, players will play from Beowulf's perspective. The players can choose which viewing mode they prefer to use from first person to third person. The creators of the game have made Beowulf faceless so the player can choose their own face.

Background
Beowulf, the son of Ecgtheow, is a Geat warrior who is well known across the land. He is a great hero to the Geat people and has defeated many monsters and people. Beowulf is the nephew of Hygelac, the Geat king, which makes him a prince. Many people know of Beowulf and his heroic power.

Gameplay
Beowulf's journey in the game begins when he hears of Grendel's attacks on the Danish people. He then travels to Dane and defeats Grendel to save the people. Grendel's mother then attacks the Danes, and Beowulf and his thanes travel to her cave. Beowulf and Grendel's mother have an underwater battle in her cave. He then defeats her, beheads Grendel's body, and returns to the Danes. Fifty years pass and Beowulf is now king of the Geats. Someone has woken up a dragon and now it is threatening the Geats. Beowulf fights the dragon and kills it. During the battle Beowulf is wounded and dies with the dragon in the end.

Characteristics
Beowulf is a courageous warrior who is not afraid to show the world what he can do. He is boastful in many of the speeches he gives and never leaves out a detail. Throughout the battles, Beowulf believes that no one is as worthy to fight as he is.

Hand to Hand Combat
In Beowulf's battle against Grendel, Beowulf uses hand to hand combat. He believes that he should make it fair for Grendel, since Grendel doesn't know how to use a weapon.

Sword

In the battle against Grendel's mother, Beowulf receives a sword from Unferth that he tried to use against Grendel's mother. The sword proved to be ineffective and during the battle he eventually found a sword that was able to kill Grendel's mother.

Sword and Shield
While fighting the Dragon, Beowulf uses the sword and shield for protection and because of his older age. He first tries to strike the dragon deep beneath the skin, but the sword breaks inside the dragon. With the help of Wiglaf, Beowulf is able to kill the dragon by stabbing it with a dagger.
