"MythForce is a love letter to the cartoons of my childhood. It's reminiscent of the pure unadulterated fun we had playing together as kids. It was a lofty ambition for our first original IP, but we're extremely proud of how it has continued to grow and evolve throughout development," said Beamdog CEO Trent Oster. “We can’t wait to share our game with the world and immerse our fans old and new in the nostalgic awesomeness that is MythForce.”
MythForce is a roguelike adventure featuring four-player online cooperative multiplayer set in the ever-changing Cursed Lands. Unleash your inner hero in intense first-person combat, wielding legendary weapons and powerful magic in an immersive fantasy dungeon crawl that will test your skills and leave you craving for more.
The official 1.0 launch of MythForce on consoles and PC will feature three episodes (up from one in early access), unlockable difficulty modes for even greater challenges, and an overhaul of the meta-progression system with drop-in/drop-out functionality for online co-op.
