MythForce is Out Now on PC and Consoles

T0@st · Sep 12, 2023

Ready to start your adventure? Saturday mornings are back with MythForce! Complete with 1980s rogue-lite cartoon chaos, co-op dungeon crawling action and an epic eighties-throwback soundtrack. Inspired by beloved Saturday morning cartoons, MythForce unites swords & sorcery with gripping first person combat in a new rogue-like adventure. Brave the dungeon alone or join forces with friends to take on an ever-changing Castle of Evil!

Scratch that nostalgic itch with wholesome fun that's easy to pick up and play (but tough to master). In true rogue-like fashion, each time you're defeated, you'll have to start over at the beginning—but every playthrough makes you a little stronger. Level up as you explore the dungeon, uncovering magical artifacts and upgrades to make you say "I HAVE THE POWER!"

Step into a Saturday Morning Cartoon! Adventure through crypts and castles with your friends in this First Person Melee Rogue-like.

Hmm, I was ready to say I wanted to buy this one. But in the video the gameplay looks so stiff and lifeless. :/

Did we watch the same video?!? :wtf:

Didn't look "stiff and lifeless" to me..

I think it looks very cool. Shame it's not on GOG. Big missed opportunity there!

Ah, it seemed interesting to me in the static images, the cartoon look and everything, but the video shows crude animations of frames skipping, which put me off. I'll check this out on YouTube tomorrow to make sure.

At STEAM it got a 48% rating. :wtf:

Repetitive, unoptimized UE5 game that boots through Epic Games.

It's a turd, unless they put some serious work into it to turn it around. Sad face. Really like the style & setting.

Ok, that sucks. It looks like it would be a lot of fun...

I watched the same one as he did. The levels are too big causing everything to be spread out. Also needs a bit more polish to hide Valve's Source Engine.

It doesn't use Valve's Source Engine, it's a Unreal Engine game + hooked up to the EpicGames Online Service.

The copied Dragons Lair's art style. Looks nice.

I was gonna comment on this, i added this to my wishlist (with my usual caveats) since when it was shown on an earlier TPU "this week in gaming article" but reading the reviews it's quite a turd as you also noted sadly, this turned into... mythFARCE.

Oh and launching via epic even if you bought it on steam is utter shit, epic does not have regional pricing they can go f themselves
