MythForce 1.2 Update Now Live

Our most ambitious and content-rich update reimagines the core experience, bringing a version of MythForce that is maxed out, full power, bigger, bolder, and better than ever before!

Greetings, friends! Project Director Luke here.

Welcome to the absolutely massive overhaul of MythForce that is version 1.2. It’s a huge departure in many ways from the MythForce we launched back in 2023, almost a total re-imagining of the broader game.

We’ve gone over all of the feedback we’ve gotten from our launch into Early Access, then since launch, looking at what we’ve done right, and wrong, with each of our previous updates, to see what resonated and what didn’t, and the big pain points that still exist in the game today. We’ve thought long and hard about what we wanted the identity of the game to be, and decided that to make MythForce the game we truly want you to experience, it was going to require us to rethink the very soul of MythForce’s gameplay.

At its heart, MythForce is about adventuring with your friends through the Cursed Lands, slashing and bashing monsters, and getting stronger as you go. It should be a series of big, joyous moments, and you should always feel like you’re powerful.

Many of the Roguelite elements that we were leaning on weren’t really hitting the mark - there was certainly fun to be had in the randomness and chancing on the perfect run, but too much was left to rolls of the dice, and too little was truly in your hands to choose. We want you to “have the power” in MythForce, and that means a big shift away from powering up in the dungeon, instead turning the focus on gaining power through play, then crafting the build you truly will enjoy playing.

Though we still have plenty of randomness to keep you on your toes in the dungeon, 1.2 takes a big step back from “Roguelite” and much further into a more traditional co-op action game - We’ve turned our focus on giving you the ability power up and build out your hero to take on the challenges of the dungeon.

There isn’t nearly enough space in our patch notes to cover all of the changes made, so you’ll have to discover some for yourself, but here are the big headlines:

Metagame 3.0

In this reimagining of MythForce, we approached the metagame from a perspective of changing the previous “Spend currency to expand your possibility space” to “Level up and create your perfect build”

Character leveling

The main method of powering your character up over time in 1.2 is via leveling up your character. After each run in the dungeon, you will receive a certain amount of XP which will contribute to the level of the character. These levels unlock access to more powerful upgrades in each of the buildings in the Citadel, as well as giving you ability points to further customize your character in the Sun Disc (see below). For those players who joined us during Early Access, this may feel familiar as a greatly powered-up version of our pre-1.0 Rank system.

As your character’s level increases, the city will continue to be rebuilt (No more spending to upgrade buildings), and offer access to better services.

The Armory

The armory is now a place to customize your weapons. We’ve moved weapon enchantments out of the dungeon and into Sir Lucien’s capable hands. Choose your weapons and apply up to 4 powerful enchantments per weapon to take with you into the dungeon.
