Mythos is an online, action role-playing game that is free to download and free to play. Set in the land of Uld – a fantasy world arising from the ashes of an epoch-long war of darkness – players assume the roles of fantasy heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest through entirely randomized dungeons and environments. With an elegant point-and-click interface and an accessible "isometric" perspective, Mythos is poised to have near-universal appeal. The game allows thousands of players to interact within the same world while using mostly "instanced" dungeons to create unique gaming experiences suited for both solo and group-minded players.

As players journey into Mythos' ever-expanding universe, they select one of four races (Human, Satyr, Gremlin, or Cyclops) and opt to play as a particular character class using a huge variety of skills and items. Through heroic quests players search for gold, gems, armor, and weapons, while unlocking the secrets of Uld. Mythos presents a constantly expanding, continuously updated world where something new lurks around every corner.


Mythos' most incendiary character, the Pyromancer is a powerful magic user who unleashes fire-based spells to burn their enemies. Players will be able to choose from several character races and classes for a customizable fantasy experience.

The fiery ‘Pyromancer’ has a special talent for controlling the element of fire. The Pyromancer doesn’t just get players hot under the collar and  none of the many dungeon-dwelling monsters in the world of Mythos are safe from this highly-customizable class either.

Players have the choice of constructing three skill trees which all vary from each other in very fundamental ways. Each of the three trees encompasses many different skills which the player will come to master during the course of the game. The skills they choose to improve will also have an effect on the battle technique and playing style of their Pyromancer character. The skills which bestow the long-range combat technique typical of a fire wizard turns him into a so-called ‘Flamecaster’. However, a further possible specialization for the Pyromancer is ‘Cinderblade’ which turns him into a magical close-combat fighter. He will then have the power to summon protective shields and wield enchanted weapons. In contrast, the ‘Coalsmasher’, has the ability to summon helpful fiery creatures such as powerful golems which can support him in battle and even use their own power of fire to strike enemies.
