MythForce, the roguelite inspired by classic Saturday morning cartoons, has received a significant free update that Beamdog calls the “definitive version” of the game. Version 1.2 is now available across all platforms and introduces a variety of features that shift how players approach the game.
The update introduces full character customization with three distinct classes per hero and separate skill trees, enabling players to tailor their playstyle more effectively than before. The progression system has been overhauled, so you can now earn XP and level up your hero after each dungeon run, unlocking new abilities as you go. It sounds like a neat way to keep things fresh and rewarding over time.
New encounter objectives add some extra challenge and strategy. Tasks such as “Destroy the Crystals” or “Discharge the Relic” make dungeon runs less predictable and urge different tactics. Elemental combat also debuts here, letting you combine Fire, Ice, and Lightning effects to trigger powerful attack synergies in solo or co-op play. That sounds like it could lead to some interesting combos and surprises during fights.
Beamdog CEO Trent Oster mentioned that the update isn’t just another patch; it’s their original vision for MythForce finally coming together, shaped by player feedback. The game itself is a cel-shaded first-person dungeon crawler with a vibe reminiscent of 80s cartoons like Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats. If you like that sort of aesthetic and gameplay, this update might be worth checking out.
