What it is
MythForce is a first-person roguelite action adventure from Beamdog, released for Windows and Xbox Series X and Series S. Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons, it sends a chosen hero into an ever-changing Castle of Evil, where players fight through a replayable dungeon filled with treasure, traps, and enemies. You can go alone or team up in online co-op for up to four players. Four heroes are named: Knight Victoria, Rogue Rico, Mage Maggie, and Hunter Hawkins. Choose a class, shape its skill tree around a preferred playstyle, and find magical artifacts and upgrades while exploring. Combat combines melee attacks and spells, while elemental status effects can be used to influence battle strategy. Encounters also include specific objectives, such as destroying crystals or using a medallion or relic. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op, online co-op, achievements, partial controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing.
