Mythos Hands On

Computer & Video Games editors had a chance at a hands on look at Mythos, the upcoming free-to-play MMO from Flagship Studios. The article has brief descriptions of the three included character classes and spends quite a bit of time comparing Mythos to the Diablo series. After all, editors opine, Mythos is the brainchild of Flagship, whose founders were those who created the Diablo franchise.

At this stage, there are no details on what exactly will cost money, but there's little to suggest cash investments will be vital.But aside from being free, Mythos is simply one of the most addictive MMOs I've played.

While it lacks the depth and narrative of its peers, it makes up for it by having such tight and moreish gameplay. Skills need tweaking, but the beta should fix all that.

Even this early stage, Mythos has more spit, polish and gameplay to it than any other free-to-play MMO out there. It's exciting, addictive and pleasing to the eye, and there's little to dissuade you from giving it a try. Look out for the open beta this spring.

At this point, it appears that the game is a worthy successor to Diablo II. It will remain to be seen if the high expectations live up to the hype.
