MythForce – Watch the trailer for the new video game inspired by 80s Cartoons

Inspired by beloved 80s cartoons, 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.

Beamdog is behind the game and you will know them from the likes of Baldur’s Gate and Planescape: Torment.

Check out the theme song intro and gameplay trailer below.

Aspyr Media is publishing MythForce which will release on April 20 via Early Access exclusively on Epic Games Store for PC. The game will cost $29.99.

When MythForce launches the first episode, Bastion of the Beastlord will be playable with additional episodes and other updates releasing while in Early Access.

Beamdog CEO Trent Oster said, “I’m beyond excited to finally show off our team’s original work. MythForce is pure, unadulterated fun— right out of the Saturday mornings of my childhood. With a simple yet satisfying game loop, it’s a big departure from the RPG classics we’re known for, but the Beamdog DNA is evident if you know where to look.

MythForce is a feel-good game that speaks to the kid in us. In Early Access we want to collaborate with players who are excited by our wholesome, 80s vision for MythForce, and build up the best game possible. Community will be key to getting us to 1.0.”
