Critic Reviews
- Despite some difficult to ignore flaws, Gamers who spent any part of their childhood in the eighties or for one reason or another harbor a fascination for that era of entertainment have plenty of reason to check out MythForce.
Brendan Frye · Sep 25, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - MythForce pulls HARD at the nostalgic strings of those that long for Saturday morning cartoons. The looks are unfortunately far above the gameplay however with the slow progression and broken combat. It’s not so much that it’s near unplayable, just noticeable. I look forward and hope we see more MythForce in the future whether that’s a straight sequel or another genre as long as it uses this amazing look.
Corey Lyle · Sep 24, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The sound design is complete with a great score too, exciting in the combat and with good effects. And there’s no doubt in the world that the actors do a brilliant job of portraying the period MythForce pays homage to.
Gareth Brierley · Sep 24, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - MythForce is a fun first-person roguelike game that doesn’t do anything new to make it stand apart from other titles like it, but the multiplayer mode is an entertaining experience.
Alana Dunitz · Sep 22, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Visually, style-wise, I love MythForce. While there isn’t enough dialogue what is there can be amusing the first couple of times. Combat takes some getting used to, but once you have the hang of that the game gets better. I love roguelike elements, I just need more randomness. With the exception of MythForce’s style everything falls flat after a few hours. Buy this on sale and convince a few buddies to do the same and you won’t be upset you did it.
Elliot Hilderbrand · Sep 21, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Even when everything's working, MythForce isn't much more than a bad port of a fun but uninteresting game. That being said, we can't possibly recommend it in its launch state. We don't take half-baked efforts lightly, and this feels even less than that. With some patches and updates, MythForce could potentially turn things around, although we're very far from optimistic. As things stand, avoid the Switch version of MythForce.
Charlie Wacholz · Sep 21, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - MythForce doesn’t quite entice you to tune in to next week’s episode as the game has a lot of quality-of-life issues to contend with. There’s a big emphasis on co-op with it’s balancing of mechanics and cool team compositions, without the facilities to oblige – making it a slow and painful grind if you want to get anywhere on your own. It delivers on the aesthetic it goes for and the moment-to-moment gameplay is simply fun, but it’s not quite enough to make it out of a pilot episode.
Joshua Thompson · Sep 19, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - From start to finish, MythForce is a fairly short affair. Players can unlock harder difficulties that yield more rewards, but these don't seem to offer anything truly new, just tougher enemies. But since the levels are so repetitive, simply upping the challenge is not enough to inspire multiple runs.
Sam Stewart · Sep 14, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Overall, MythForce is a brilliant 80’s inspired game with nearly endless potential. While it does give you a lot to explore and discover, even more so to work with to take down your enemies, it falls a little flat with the game being semi-unbalanced and overly grindy. A few simple quality of life and bug fixes might just take it to the top as a memorable release.
R3GR3T · Sep 14, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - MythForce looks stunning and perfectly encapsulates the look and feel of '80s action cartoons. Unfortunately, its repetitive gameplay loop, frustrating stamina mechanic, and unrewarding progression system spoil what could've been an exceptional game.
