This episode includes procedurally generated levels to explore and monsters to fight. There are really not many games out there with such a colorful and playful vibe.Īs an early access game, MythForce's release on April 20 will feature four different characters and the game's first major episode to play. That sense of nostalgia that you bring into the game can certainly heighten the game's vibe, but it works on its own. It really felt like I jumped into an interactive Don Bluth animated film. Having grown up with reruns of classic cartoons from the 1980s, the different levels and monsters we encountered in our missions were total. What really stuck out for me with MythForce was the sense of style and the attention to detail packed into it. You and three others will be able to choose your class of hero and run through different dungeons. While I would have liked the pacing to be a bit faster, I liked the amount of action that went down in each area of the dungeon, and it was very satisfying making it out of each challenge with a bag full of loot. It was exciting to work together to take down enemies and gain loot. During our dungeon run, we fought groups of goblins and killer mushrooms who spew poison. If you've played games that focus heavily on cooperative gameplay, like Warhammer: Vermintide or Left 4 Dead, you'll get a sense of the flow that MythForce follows. From here, you can customize your hero abilities and attributes, with your arsenal expanding further as you level up. In the beginning, I got to choose from one of four different classes, such as the traditional hunter, mage, rogue or paladin. Moving away from the turn-based, tactical gameplay of their previous role-playing, MythForce is a first-person action RPG that has you and other players fighting through dungeons and taking down bosses.īesides paying homage to classic 1980s animation, MythForce also feels deeply rooted in the framework of an old-school game of Dungeons & Dragons - another '80s favorite. Having worked on the Baldur's Gate series at Bioware in the past, the developers at Beamdog created MythForce as a change of pace from more traditional role-playing games. Just ahead of its release, I got to play the game with members of developer Beamdog at GDC 2022 and took part in the experience of playing an interactive Saturday morning cartoon. MythForce is being released soon into early access on April 20 as an Epic Game Store exclusive.
