Mythos wins over another fan in new hands-on
Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, New titles, Mythos, Free-to-play, Hands-on
We have to concede, we were probably won over by Mythos, Flagship's free-to-play hack and slashers, months ago. We're not sure whether it happened before our interview with Max Schaefer or after they implemented the fairly ambitious Overworld, it's hard to say exactly. In any case, we're aware that not everybody is as excited about the title as we are, which is why we recommend taking a look at Eurogamer's new glowing hands-on report of the game.Among Mythos' many design choices, the author seems most impressed with the way Flagship has managed to make even the simplest of level one fireballs feel both satisfying and significant. For our part, we're still baffled that they plan to offer this as a free title, because the spit shine and polish they've been putting on this thing is more typically befitting of a full retail release. Then again, World of Warcraft was planned as a free title once upon a time...

I played this back pre-Hellgate when they were just using this to test the network code. I'm shocked how far it's come. What's even more amusing is how they were tossing away Beta invites back then, I at least a dozen I gave away, and NOW people want them. Also funny how this is getting lots of good press, and is free, while Hellgate has been lambasted, and has a fee for updates. Weird.
