MythForce! 80's style fps roguelike

[Unofficial Who]

This is so cheesy I love it.

 

 

It even has a so bad it's good intro complete with theme song.

 

 

I'm hoping every round ends with a moral lesson and the endgame involves the real treasure being the friends you made along the way.

They should have made some music that sounded like it was from the 80s.

You don’t think the cheesy, synth heavy song they’ve gone with is 80s enough?

Maybe he wasn't exposed to the same amount of US cartoons some of us were.

Classic! Not going to pass a chance to listen to Defenders of the Earth. 
 

Anyway, if you’d shown me that intro trailer and song for mythforce and told me it was an obscure 80s cartoon I’d probably have believed it.

Looks great - worth keeping an eye on, although with being on EGS first it'll be hard to see at a glance if it's any cop as it develops. Unlike Darkest Dungeon 2 and Hades' Early Access periods, Beamdog's recent output is entirely ports, so it would have to be something very special immediately to buy in at this point.

That looks spectacular.

Looks ace. I just wish the voice acting was eating more scenery. Nowhere near as overwrought as it should be.

[MarkN]

That does look fantastic.

It needs to be that, or the useless fucking pet creature doing something idiotic and everyone laughing (Snarf, Orko, Uni etc.)

[Cyhwuhx]

That looks... a bit meh?

 

I mean, I love me some modern Gauntlet/'80s cartoon slop, but this is far too smooth in terms of animation and the snippets of gameplay are awfully slow. Trailing camera shots all over the place as well. Why not use static shots, cheesier voice overs, and maybe even limited animation to give it that cheap '80s HB/Sunbow feel?

[TehStu]

Also, not enough games look like cartoons/anime. We seemed to have nailed this technique now, more of it please (I'm looking at you, total lack of Auto Modellista sequel).

[squirtle]

Looks great from the presentation side, although the animation is way too smooth, but the gameplay just looks like another co op style shooter.

Watched some jack frags gameplay and it looked shit.
