Mythforce thread

[m7600]

I haven't played Mythforce yet, but I'm planning to get it in the near future. I thought I'd start a thread for discussing the game and sharing information / opinions about it. Here's the trailer:



Personally, from what I've seen so far, it looks interesting. I like the 80's vibe that it has. But what intrigues me the most is the technical aspect of the gameplay aesthetics. Let me explain what I mean by that. The game uses 3D models, but they look like 2D animations. This technique is known as non-photorealistic rendering, or NPR for short.
As an artist, I've been using this technique for the past few years, simply because I like that workflow. I like digital sculpting and modeling more than drawing and painting, but I still wanted to get my models to have a sort of 2D aesthetic. I never imagined that this was something that was actually being done by gaming companies. But it's a style that's starting to become more and more common.

So, those are my thoughts on Mythforce for now. What do you folks think of this game?

I like the art, the style and the old cartoonish feel to it. It's really cool and instantly gives of the vibes from he man, thundercats and the likes which of course is also what BD said themselves. I also kinda like the idea of one-time parties and dungeons but the thing I found less interesting is the lack of skills and level-up possibilities. I think it gets a bit repetitive in a way. I hope they get many players but my gut tells me this will be quite niche.

The logo has some strong Silverhawks vibes! : )

Interesting comments. Keep em coming! : )
Honestly, the game already won me over with the whole 80's thing, and I haven't event played it yet, lol. But the idea of taking inspiration from cartoons of the 80's is original and interesting, and it definitely hits a nostalgia note with me. For this reason, I'm willing to forgive all of the shortcomings that the game might have. Granted, I don't expect Mythforce to be comparable to, say, Baldur's Gate. But, I feel like it's a type of game that I would have fun playing.

It's fun when you are playing with other people... not much in single player...
