Inspired by beloved 80s cartoons like, MythForce unites colorful swords & sorcery with gripping first-person combat in a roguelite adventure.

Heroes level-up as they explore the dungeon, unlocking different perks for each playthrough, as well as special rank upgrades that carry over to new sessions. Procedurally-generated maps with randomized encounters and loot keep each playthrough fresh. In true roguelite fashion, each time players are defeated they have to start over at the beginning, but every playthrough makes them a little stronger

Victoria the valiant Knight joins forces with Rico the charming Rogue, Maggie the wise Mage, and Hawkins the deadly Hunter. Together, they form the legendary team known as… MythForce!

These courageous champions are all that stand between Eldryth and the tyranny of the vampire lord, Deadalus. Will our heroes prevail against the many malevolent minions, tricks, and traps in his ever-changing dungeon?

Tune into the adventure to find out!

"MythForce is a love letter to the cartoons of my childhood. It's reminiscent of the pure unadulterated fun we had playing together as kids. It was a lofty ambition for our first original IP, but we're extremely proud of how it has continued to grow and evolve throughout development," said Beamdog CEO Trent Oster. “We can’t wait to share our game with the world and immerse our fans old and new in the nostalgic awesomeness that is MythForce.”

MythForce has a free Steam demo playable now through June 26 as part of Steam Next Fest.

The official 1.0 launch of MythForce on consoles and PC will feature three episodes (up from one in early access), unlockable difficulty modes for even greater challenges, and an overhaul of the meta-progression system with drop-in/drop-out functionality for online co-op.
