Myth: Gods of Asgard is a roguelike action RPG based on the fantastic world of Norse gods, beasts, and myths.You choose a god-hero and hack and slash your way through the legendary realms of Asgard, Midgard, Helheim, and more. Ragnarok is coming to wipe out mortals and gods alike, but if you triumph in boss encounters with the likes of Fenrir the apocalyptic wolf and the massive serpent Jormungard, the world might yet have a fighting chance.
Myth: Gods of Asgard's ever-changing isometric battlegrounds and fast-paced action brings to mind the critically acclaimed Hades. If you've already conquered the Greek Pantheon, it makes sense to see what you can do as a warrior ordered to prevent Ragnarok. Moreover, if you're a God of War fan, you're already familiar with exchanging a Greek setting for the cold Norse winds. Just pack some shaggy underwear and you'll be fine.
There are five gods to incarnate in Myths: Gods of Asgard, and your style of attack is determined according to which god you work with. Brundhild the Valkyrie favors a deadly spear capable of punching an enemy full of holes in the blink of an eye. The beefy warrior Siegfried wields an equally beefy sword that packs a massive punch. Ullr, the ice-rimed god of the hunt, shoots arrows that split for a wide area-of-effect attack. Freya, the ever-popular goddess of love, prefers magic attacks. Finally, Thor is capable of calling down the thunder, and he has the hammer to prove it. A large selection of classes lets you customize your warrior through countless builds. Experiment and find your preferred playstyle.
The characters in Myth: Gods of Asgard have a distinct Marvel comic book feel, but the game's art style also harbors an anime streak that adds individuality and charm to its roster of gods, battlegrounds, skills, and weapons. Myth: Gods of Asgard's graphics jump to life with powerful combat effects that bring a real sense with every strike.
And while the stars of Myth: Gods of Asgard may have their specialized styles of combat, you're still encouraged to experiment with myriad character builds. Switching between the gods grants you new fighting styles, each of which has unique strengths and drawbacks in different combat situations. The terrain is treacherous, and you have to work closely with your heroes to overcome the unexpected challenges and surprises that pop up in roguelike games. Once you're finished fighting against fate itself, you can turn your ethereal warriors on each other in guild-based PVP fights.
If your fingers have been twitching since Hades, Myth: Gods of Asgard might be what you need to scratch that itch (with a big hammer that shoots lighting). Become proficient with a variety of weapons, then sink them into some wolf flesh. It's available on July 28th on the Google Play Store and the App Store!
