    Since I now have 50h in this game, I thought I'd share my thoughts on it.

    - setting is great - graphics are fitting and atmospheric - music is cool - heroes are cool yet stereotype 9000, but thats part of the 80s aesthetics so thats okay but - its THE GRIND - weapons are extremely weak - you dont feel like a hero, you feel like a joke - skeletons have an 8 meter range with    Since I now have 50h in this game, I thought I'd share my thoughts on it.

    - setting is great
    - graphics are fitting and atmospheric
    - music is cool
    - heroes are cool yet stereotype 9000, but thats part of the 80s aesthetics so thats okay

    but

    - its THE GRIND
    - weapons are extremely weak
    - you dont feel like a hero, you feel like a joke
    - skeletons have an 8 meter range with greatswords
    - 3 enemy lizard men make a special rythm of jumping and cutting that forces you to block all the time. there is no time frame which you could use to strike back. So you get beaten up real good and die in 30 seconds, no matter what level you are, what your skills are on whatever. You are done.

    - loot? haha. sometimes a mage will find a sword and the knight finds some spellbook. thats about it. this is the lowest loot-game ever
    - there is absolute zero feel of progression or growing stronger. Even on lvl 10 you will die on the first floor with a spore tank. They glue you to the ground and it takes a minute to get up. Guess what, the tank needs a bit less time to take another swing at you. You are done, again, because you cant do anything.

    I have played more than 50 rounds and made it to the beast lord ONCE. He couldnt kill me, basically, because evading was very easy. But I couldnt kill him either, because the weapons really make no damage. So there we were, circling each other with no purpose.

    And that sums up a game with GREAT potential: It feels absolutely dumb. No damage, sometimes the first floor is a done in 5 minutes, sometimes it takes half an hour. So its not like the floors get harder as you proceed. All floors can be absolutely deadly. 4 walking mushroom magicians at once? Happens in the 3rd floor, happens in the 1st floor too. No health, nowhere. You are done, again.

    So, procedurally generated games dont really work. They seem a great idea, they look great - and are zero fun to play. I am glad I only paid 10 quid for this trash, its worth about 5.    … Expand

    MythForce is a great cooperative action experience for gamers who are nostalgic for Saturday morning cartoons and their limited fantasy universes. The overall narrative isn’t very engaging and filled with tropes. The four heroes each come complete with a unique approach to combat and their various abilities create some cool combo moments if players actually work together. The biggest issue is how quickly fun disappears when players take on a dungeon on their own. Characters gain power slowly and moving through the same spaces, battling the same enemies starts to become repetitive. Mythforce will deliver fun moments for players who have a good multiplayer group and like the presentation.

    MythForce is a fun first-person roguelike game that doesn’t do anything new to make it stand apart from other titles like it, but the multiplayer mode is an entertaining experience.

    MythForce is an entertaining action and role-playing roguelite, which stands out for its 80's cartoon aesthetics and for being very oriented to 4 player coop. It has many "evils" of the subgenre (random level generation, repetition...), but if you're going to play it with friends, you'll have a great time. In solitaire, maybe not so much.
