First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update.
Some highlights of the Version 1.2 update:
- Class Switching & Hero Customization: Choose from three distinct classes for each of the four heroes, each with their own unique skill trees. Craft your ideal loadout and play your way.
- All-New Encounter Objectives: Fresh dungeon events like “Destroy the Crystals” and “Discharge the Relic” introduce greater challenge and build variety and strategic depth to every run.
- Elemental Combos: Fire, Ice, and Lightning combine magical effects to unleash devastating new attack synergies that reshape solo and co-op combat.
- Polished & Enhanced Gameplay: From console performance improvements to deeper co-op dynamics to a smoother solo experience, MythForce 1.2 delivers the most refined version of the game yet.
Deeper co-op mechanics sounds right up our alley. The game supports 4-player online co-op.
MythForce costs $29.99 on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. The Version 1.2 Update will arrive on Thursday, June 26.
