As part of the 2023 Steam Next Fest in June, developer Beamdog showcased the co-op gameplay of MythForce. The team made an appearance to share new footage while explaining the mechanics, lore, and gameplay that up to four players can join. Nostalgia is certainly in the air, as the fantastical journey through the Cursed Lands looks and feels like an old-school cartoon. An exciting new roguelike awaits with MythForce, soon to be moving on from early access.
Saturday Morning Cartoons Become Playable With Beamdog’s MythForce
Have you ever wanted to jump into a cartoon before? To fight alongside fellow heroes, experience a vibrant world, and wield awesome weapons? MythForce is just what you need. Beamdog and publisher Aspyr have collaborated to create a unique cartoon-like roguelike with their new game. With up to four fellow fighters, players can jump into a run that’s littered with folkloric enemies, all while leveling up to complete individual runs. In a nutshell, players are the heroes of MythForce, banded together to fight the evil dark lord, Deadalus. It’s a rather simple setup, though the gameplay is where it shines.
MythForce is actually moving out of early access later this year with its 1.0 version. To coincide with the early access announcement and this year’s Steam Next Fest event for June, a new trailer was unleashed during the online festivities. Mythical chaos was shown featuring Victoria, Maggie, Rico, and Hawkins – the heroes of this roguelike peril.
There is currently no announced release date, so be sure to wishlist the title on Steam. If you’re swift enough, you can catch some developer gameplay during the Steam Next Fest for the summer of 2023, which will come to an end on June 26.
MythForce shall drop soon for the following platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Sharpen thy swords, players, and remember to download the free demo now to get a taste of the Saturday morning mayhem!
