"Even when everything&s;s working, MythForce isn&s;t much more than a bad port of a fun, but uninteresting game. That being said, we can&s;t possibly recommend it in its launch state. We don&s;t take half-baked efforts lightly, and this feels even …"

Despite its occasional narrative shortcomings and repetitiveness, its escalating challenges and the unique experience of multiplayer gameplay stand out. For those …"

"If you want the best experience possible with MythForce, play with friends. If you don&s;t have friends, then play by yourself. If you hate yourself, then try playing with strangers. Visually, style-wise, I love MythForce. While there isn&s;t enough dialogue …"

"Mythforce is shallow and inauthentic, hiding its creative mundanity behind the insincere promise of retro silliness. This lack of artistic integrity is matched by a lack of quality control, awkwardly bolted together as it is with unrefined controls, dreadful performance, …"

"It’s at a good point for the price, and its singleplayer-or-co-op structure means that there’s no issue of threatened server shutdowns to fret over, but it definitely hits its stride as a multiplayer adventure. Unlike a few other nostalgia-bait projects …"

"“Mythforce” doesn’t have the staying power of other roguelites, there’s a fair share of grind in its meta progression and the first-person combat could use a bit of tune up. But, on the flip side, it is a great game …"

"MythForce looks stunning and perfectly encapsulates the look and feel of &s;80s action cartoons. Unfortunately, its repetitive gameplay loop, frustrating stamina mechanic, and unrewarding progression system spoil what could&s;ve been an exceptional game."

"MythForce may have a great sense of aesthetic but the roguelike it is designed around is as basic and uninspiring as they come, becoming a quickly repetitive grindfest with little payoff."
