Mytheon Interview

The folks at MMORPG.com had the opportunity to fire off several “introductory” questions to members of the Mytheon development team.  A little more on the game’s premise:

Mytheon is an action/strategy game with RPG elements. Can you tell us how extensive those elements are and how they are implemented?

Mytheon Team: Mytheon’s action/strategy gameplay focuses around Power Stones. These stones summon minions, structures, or unleash powerful spells onto the field of battle. You can have several of these stones active at one time, so each avatar has the potential to form small mini groups. The strategy aspect focuses on the control and use of these conjured stone objects.

The RPG elements of Mytheon primarily revolve around customization and character advancement. Like most RPG’s, players will earn experience for defeating enemy creatures, completing Challenges (quests) and accomplishing great Feats (achievements). Through this process, players will be able to advance in level, find and equip new gear, and collect new stones. Unlike other RPG games where spells become obsolete after a certain number of levels, the power stones in Mytheon will not. As the player becomes more powerful, so do the stones they control.
