Tune into Saturday Morning Roguelike MythForce on PS5, PS4 from 12th September

Keep them busy, my pets

MythForce is certainly an eye-catching game, with its cartoon-inspired aesthetic tapping into a specific nostalgia centre in our brains. It's a good thing, then, that the cooperative melee roguelike is coming out even sooner than we'd expected: step into a classic Saturday morning cartoon from 12th September on PS5 and PS4.

Your stalwart band of four playable heroes (each with their own unique playstyles) are all that stand between the malevolent Eldryth and the fantastically named vampire lord, Deadalus, from total world domination. Gameplay looks smooth and responsive, and your characters will level up and improve as they explore a vast, ever-changing castle.

First-person swords & sorcery sounds pretty sweet to us, and we'll be keeping an eye on this one as its airing date approaches. Now, if we could just get something in a Teknoman and a Mighty Max, our inner child might finally be sated. What do you think of MythForce? Did you have a favourite cartoon growing up? Catch up on some hidden gems in the comments section below.

This looks awesome!
I hadn't heard of this at all. Sending the article to two if my friends right now.

I played the demo on my Steam Deck. Seemed like a run-of-the-mill first-person roguelike, with an amazing art style, that makes me nostalgic for the cartoons that I watched as a child. Still might be fun, especially if you’re into that type of game. The only one I’ve played is Ziggurat, and I enjoyed my time with that.

It just makes me think about games that have incredible art design, but not in a genre I like to play. Mostly thinking about Cuphead, but also We Happy Few (before it came out and was critically panned anyway). It’s too bad that indie devs sometimes don’t have the budget to make a good single-player game with narrative or level progression, instead of procedurally generated layouts shuffling rooms around to make it seem like a new content.
