Mythos is a basically a Diablo 2 clone with it's own charm, done by Flagship studios (whom has some members that were involved in Diablo 2 as well). You can see that it has brought it's random generated map/loot charms back into gear.

Click here for the main site http://www.mythos.com/

Currently it's now in alpha going towards a closed beta. The balance is of course still an issue at this point in time, but the game for alpha has been surprisingly stable.

The game is reported to be free to play and maybe a free download.

What's there not to like
1) Random Generated loot/Maps
2) Unique items
3) Set items
4) Mobs
5) Party with your friends
6) EPIC MAPS!!!!

What is different from Diablo 2 is that now you select the race, gender and class of you character, I won't go deep into the characters as they might be update and tons of changes.

Here are some of the screenshot

WTF is this, and where can I get it?

Gotta log in to access that forum thread, apparently.

Wow. Isn't that a clone of everything INCLUDING world of Warcraft? Is that even legal?

That's what I was thinking. I smell a lawsuit...

Anyway, that looks pretty awesome. 3D-Diablo2-Warcraft-esque rpg with randomly generated dungeons? If it's any good, I'll definitely play it (and buy it if they plan to sell it).

Yes all randomly generated, it's not a mmorpg. It's like Diablo2 where the main town I was in is the 3d-client lobby where we met up , party up and smash mobs.

Lawsuits how? Most of the team members are from Blizzard.
 
So...do I just sit here and wait on an invite to maybe be emailed to me? :(

Diablo required precise mouse controls? :lol

Diablo? nope. Diablo II, however, couldn't be played with an analog stick. Just not responsive enough, especially in Hardcore or heck..even Hell mode.
 
It's being worked on by the guy who did FATE, which was a very cool game.

I'm really looking forward to this... but I did get a little depressed when I saw the inventory screen.

I had really really hoped that the days of "potion takes up one square, jacket takes up four squares" was truly over.

Who REALLY thinks this kind of inventory management is a good idea?

I'm not particularly bugged by it, actually. It's pretty much a persistent uber basic puzzle that is always with you.
 
Fate WAS good, in fact! I need to locate my CD! Can't believe I friggin' lost it! :/

Yeah, I kinda dig that inventory system too. :D

I actually prefer it. Serious to God that's the first thing I looked for and the thing that got me most excited.
 
So this is being made by the same team as Hellgay London?

EDIT: Does the alpha/beta have any form of LAN play or is it on their servers only?

No so far it's just on their servers.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure how much it's been whored here, but anyone that's interested in this (and hasn't already done so) owes it to themself to check out Fate. Some of the same people worked on it. It's also a shameless Diablo clone with a lil bit of roguelike thrown in (but not that much). Don't let the kiddie graphics fool you, this game *is* the shit.

There's a demo, too.

Yeah 'Fate' came to mind immediately looking at these screens. This looks cool but Fate is about the best Diablo clone out there right now.

Hmm but there's one thing that Mythos does better hehe Multiplayer 8 -12 per party :)
 
Isnt Fate a single player game? Cant be a Diablo Clone with 1 player only. Can a hack n Slash even be good playing by yourself?
 
Fate is mildly interesting but doesn't have online multiplayer, much less a "secure" bnet-style system like Mythos does. Also, Fate gets really repetitive (even for an action RPG) a couple dozen levels into it.

Mythos is OK, but I dislike the art style and didn't find the skills or loot all that compelling. Still, it's better than the ARPGs on consoles, which are almost all crappy.
 
Here's some vid caps Basis took

Removed for the timebeing

If there's any file host you wish to recommend and free do let me know thanks!
 
Wow, looks like a carbon copy of Dungeon Siege - health bars, skill trees, graphics, everything looks like DS.

Neither of those works.
 
Thanks guys I'll get back to Basis on this.

Edit Apologies I'll pull the links for the time being gotta figure it out. thanks!
 
The second I found out Travis Baldree (who was a key force in making Fate) was on the case, I was hooked. There was a video on some Korean website that showed it off in a *much* better way. Showed some of the more flashy skills and stuff.

This is made by Flagship *Seattle* a seperate team formed to create a testing platform for Hellgate's network services. I'm a huge Fate whore so I'm really stoked for this. If you search, you'll find my Fate Appreciation thread where I'm practically fellating the game.
 
Mythos looks pretty darn good for a testbed product for Hellgate london.

Might give this a go when i get home.
 
Yeah I played this since the alpha stages, I stopped around lvl37 pyromancer. I might come back to it.
 
"Isnt Fate a single player game? Cant be a Diablo Clone with 1 player only. Can a hack n Slash even be good playing by yourself?"

Why can't it be? This is some pretty dumb logic. And yes, it most certainly can be good.
 
anyone can do point and click addictiveness, or most anyone. its the setting and the Blizzard polish that do it for me.

(Is it better than Fate?)
 
Is this a closed beta? I'm confused. I have to get an invite right? I clicked on it, but haven't gotten anything in my email.
