“And if you screw up you can just roll it back and try something different.” “The goal is that you really have that agency to figure out the kind of character you want to play,” Oster said. Players may respec their characters’ constellations at any time. Maggie the Mage, one of four playable characters in MythForce, unloads a powerful spell on some baddies. “I really optimize around the recharge speed on my ultimate ability, Rico’s backslash.
“My Rico is all attack speed, and power, and hit, and then the instant I’ve blown everything, I need to run and hide in a corner,” Oster laughed. “Based on where you place the gems, and what kind of gems you place, you can increase your attack damage, you can increase your energy, you can increase your mobility,” Oster explained. Players earn a gem through their continued gameplay, that gem grants a perk somewhere within the constellation for that particular character. That means tuning the “outer loop” of MythForce’s gameplay to include a “constellation system,” which allows players to place perks they’ve earned into a tree that caters to their playing style for each of the four characters: Rico (the Rogue), Victoria (the Knight), Maggie (the Mage), and Hawkins (the Hunter). MythForce: Video games’ love letter to 1980s cartoons says the sweetest things “A lot of the feedback was, ‘Hey, we love the game, but we really wish there was more progress, or ways to develop your character, and in some cases, personalize your character, and make them more the style that you want to play,” he said. The newest release of the game, available today, will lean more into character and player progression, Oster says (and therefore place MythForce squarely in the “roguelite” category, rather than “roguelike”). MythForce not only developed a cult following worth a console launch, it also has a merch shop. Happily, they discovered dressing a first-person, procedurally generated dungeon crawler as an ’80s cartoon works really well as far as streaming and watchability. MythForce, the first original work from Beamdog (to now known mainly as a port shop for RPGs) launched with an out-there premise that the studio wasn’t really sure would work. “It’s something I would love to see happen, because I think there’s a lot of fun here.” “We’ve had discussions with companies out there about MythForce becoming a full fledged cartoon,” Oster said.
