The combat system is very original, our warrior does not fight directly but acts as a calling, and what you use to generate their spells or creatures are magical stones that work like "pokeballs", as in the classic Nintendo Pokemon. However, we can invoke these stones is not limited to stone and similar monsters, spells and also includes improvements in status or benefits for the fight. Initially there will be only three classes: the Warcaster, which acts as a "tanker", an expert on melee attacks (through their invocations), the Elementalist, who acts as a wizard, very skillful in handling spells, and medium way between them, "Eidolon", which acts as a healer, combining the strengths of both.

Each of the classes or characters has a background: the Warcaster is a former gladiator and hence its expertise in the melee, while the wizard is a typical Greek thought, identified with the image we have of thinkers like Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. Finally, the Eidolon comes from Egypt, and responds to the stereotype of the "type", except that in the future serve as a bridge between Hellenic and Egyptian worlds, when the game, if all goes well, launch its first expansion set in the kingdom of the pharaohs. We also confirmed that although the number of initial classes may seem a little small, in the future will be adding new, more varied.

MYTHEON is a free game but, following the model of other titles, including a micro-transaction system with which to amortize the development of play, pay for the upkeep of servers and profit. These microtransactions, as opposed to other games, it will serve as shortcuts to level up faster or to buy items that otherwise would take much work, but not to prejudice (or goat) to players who refuse to pay, All you can buy are personalized items, works of "vanity" for our character, so that looks the way we want. Under no circumstances will you stronger.

The game world has a considerable size as to test this several times, each time we entered a zone, zooming up and watching as well as the part we saw before was reduced to one pixel on the map worldwide the game. Although what we saw was a very preliminary version, a pre-alpha, and there were some visual elements still very tentative, it appears that although they have tried to make the game executable in all types of computers, also have a lot of care in the design of modeling scenarios and characters. Run on low-end computers, but will be nice.

The gameplay is pretty nice. Apart from the combat system real-time strategy, where we use stones to summon monsters or casting spells, the means to achieve these stones and spells will be one of the most important parts of the game. We get stones, but also build, making the "crafting" copper an essential role in the game. We will find "recipes" to create rocks, and also experience mixing various ingredients to see what comes out. Sometimes stones devastating succeed, other times disappointing results.

When going into battle, has attracted much attention on one thing, the system simulates a deck of cards to the Magic. We have a collection of stones, and when fighting randomly selected six, which are those we use in that particular battle. That means we have to care much what we have in the general deck, making sure we have enough variety of resources, all balanced and of sufficient quality to that if we leave our favorite stones, have a good "bench that allows us to victory in the fighting. According to the developers, this particular system may cause some surprise when a veteran player faced with a rookie.

Conclusion:

Apart from the different strengths and potential, the stones will also be associated with an element that, following a rock-paper-scissors, will end to another but will be vulnerable to another, creating a "circle" of dominance and submission between various elements, and making it a strategic element of the game. MYTHEON is pretty cool and brings a touch of freshness to the increasingly popular online gaming market. Petroglyph continues to strengthen its portfolio and becoming a benchmark for massive online games.
