Remember how Saturday mornings used to be the best!? We’d kick back, toast in hand, to take in some of the finest cartoons every created. MythForce on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC looks to bring those memories flooding back.
Available right now across the usual gaming systems is MythForce from Beamdog and Aspyr. Sold as a roguelike adventure, you may think this is another of the tens and hundreds of games that have utilised such mechanics over the years. But you’d be wrong – this one has got He-Man vibes.
Whether you play MythForce on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch or PC (Steam), you’ll find a game that comes across as like those brilliant Saturday morning cartoons.
This one drops you into the Cursed Lands; a world full of crypts and castles. From there it’s up to you to work your magic. You can do so with a bunch of friends if you wish, unleashing your inner hero as you go. Playing through first person combat opportunities – alone or with four friends – you’ll get hands on with some legendary weapons and the most powerful pieces of magic.
With hope of dungeon exploring front and centre, the story elements should help increase those cartoon feels. As should the challenges. And utterly vibrant world that is on offer.
