MythForce is a love letter to the types of 80s cartoons those of us of a certain vintage (or who had older siblings) will likely recall from idle younger days. Currently in Early Access on PC, it features first-person fantasy combat and cooperative multiplayer and is making the jump to PS5 and PS4 in Fall (or Q3, if you prefer).
It kind of puts us in mind of Tiny Tina Wonderlands, actually, if that game were made more appropriate for kids, and you were to throw in some of that OG Dungeons and Dragons cartoon energy for good measure. It's being developed by Beamdog, the studio responsible for the excellent remastered collection of classic D&D CRPGS on PlayStation with the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition pack, which gives us additional confidence.
What do you think of MythForce? Do you remember the bad old days of Saturday cartoons? Which were your favourites? Let us know in the comments section below.

Nice! This looks cool. Got a Dragon's Liar look to it. So I'm incredibly old. My favorite cartoon of all time was probably The Superfriends and I also watched all the good ole Bugs Bunny ones.
Reminds me of the 80's D&D cartoon or Dragon's Lair.
Pretty cool...
Didn't really think this looked all that great.
This one really got my attention. If it reviews well I will be there day 1.
@GamerDad66 100% getting those vibes. Love it. Hopefully the game is good.
Thundercats Ho!
Looks fun!! Hope they have a third person perspective mode......but if not it's okay
I bet the devs tried to get the license for the D&D cartoon but couldn't bc of cost and decided to create their own. This game has a ton of potential and split-screen local co-op is a must.
This reminds me of the awesome "City of Brass" and I'm totally looking forward to it!
Nice nice. Good good.
High School and 80s Saturday morning cartoons. Great mashup. Has a bright Space Ace vibe with a more Dragons Lair environment. I have the power.
Definitely has a very Don Bluth appearance.
This game doesn't look like Dragon's Lair or any of Don Bluth's artwork to me. No, this art style reminds me much more of He-Man, M.A.S.K, G.I. Joe, or even the original Dungeons & Dragons cartoon that ran from 83-85. Either way, I think this game looks brilliant. It's definitely in my wheelhouse and something I'll be looking forward to playing once it's on console for the PS5.
I wish it just had the dungeons and dragons License and did it properly. Still looks good but the OG characters would take it next level
That is definitely on the radar. Play in pajamas with a bowl of sugary cereal and get the full effect lol
Shame its first person or I'd be all over this! Looks great
I'll still give this game a try despite no third person view, looks like fun!
