Mythos Europe Preview

It's been a bumpy ride for Mythos Europe to get to where it is now. Frogster is ready to "go live" with it soon but in 2008 the sad demise of Flagship Studios, developer of Mythos and Hellgate London, made it seem like the game was lost forever.

Luckily HanbitSoft picked up the remains and had their US based Studios Redbana and T3 Entertainment work on it.

Mythos Gold is a bit of a special case for me. A couple of years ago I worked in the company that was originally going to be publishing Mythos and I remember seeing it in its very early stages and being excited about it! Here was a game that going to combine the sweetness of isometric hack and slash games with the awesomesauce of more conventional MMOs. Think of combining Diablo or Torchlight with WoW... wow!

The comparison to Diablo, Torchlight and Titan Quest should be crystal clear to anyone just from seeing screenshots of the game. Combat, the skill, stat and leveling systems, the inventory and many more features of Mythos will be very familiar to people who've played these kinds of games before.

But as usual in the games industry; it is better to copy something that works than to invent something that sucks right, even if it's original? There are plenty of things that Mythos does differently and I might even say better than the Diablos and Torchlights of this world. I will try to explain what I mean in this review of the Open Beta version of Mythos.

Before even starting the game I ran into something interesting. After the usual username/password prompt, the game asks me for my "Secondary Password". This is a password of 6 digits that can only be entered by clicking the numbers on the screen. As the location of the numbers on the keypad always changes I imagine this would make it extremely difficult for hackers to determine peoples' passwords using conventional key loggers. It is a clever system that I'm sure will save both Mythos' players as well as Frogster's Customer Support Team a lot of time and headaches!
