The Myth series is one of the few that I still keep returning to every few years to enjoy again, and lament that it somehow did not lead to a new sub-genre of RTS, or at least a long-running series of games.
After playing Warcraft and Command & Conquer as 2D, sprite-based, grid-based games, Myth was absolutely mind-blowing for its dedication to take away all the abstraction of RTS and drop you right in the middle of bloody, brutal, messy, chaotic battle. Fully simulated physics of a 3D engine meant archers got more range when placed atop hills, and bombs and blood would roll down hills. Simulated weather meant wind blew projectiles off course, and rain and water extinguished flames. You can't build more units during a battle, so losses were hard-felt. Scrambling to give orders to retreat or intercept flanking units added to the feeling of a tense, high-stakes, chaotic battlefield. Every skirmish ends in a mess of blood, severed limbs, and broken shields and arrows littering the ground. The gameplay combined with the excellent story, narration, music, art style, and overall tone added up to a uniquely grounded, realistic-feeling fantasy world.
Imagine going from that back to simple, abstract RTS games like Warcraft! Myth felt like a glimpse of the future of RTS. It seemed inevitable that more realistic and complex simulations that impact your tactics would be the direction of the RTS genre.
To this day, it is still the most viscerally satisfying RTS I've played: Every impact felt brutal and gory.
And it had full campaign co-op!
An under-appreciated, highly-ambitious, innovative, polished, and incredibly fun game (although often brutally difficult in the campaign - play on easy!). The Myth series deserves to live forever: The Total Codex edition, including all three main games with the expansion Chimera and all the extra maps and plugins bundled in.
These games are legendary and severely underrated.
One of those series that do not deserve to be lost.
It boasts a great campaign with some brutal, difficult moments.
One of the best soundtracks, ever.
I remember renaming my soldiers as my friends and seeing how long I could keep them alive (not very long).
I would love to see them back!
This was the first online game I had ever played, on my first computer, back when even demos had multiplayer! This game was also my introduction into online communities - which even here 25+ years later is still amazingly alive through custom metaservers and discord. So many great memories, there isn't another RTS like this. It doesn't deserve to be lost to time and I wish it were on here!
Świetna gra z początków grania na własnym PC, Pamiętam recenzję w CD-A, solucję w AP a sama gra niszczyła grafiką w tamtym okresie. Myth nieodłącznie kojarzy mi się z beztroską i wspaniałą przygodą. U mnie nie działa pamiętanie gier lepszymi niż są w rzeczywistości - dla mnie stare gry są tak samo wartościowe dzisiaj, jak i przed laty
There's nothing quite like Myth in the modern market, it has its niche and executes it great. Both the dark fantasy campaign story and the point-buy system utilizing straight to action multiplayer are just fantastic.
It is also not easily avaiable anywhere, I do have my old cd but it is kinda pain having to jump through hoops to make it work on my current system. I would love to have it through GoG so I can easily access it whenever I feel like replaying the story or to play around with some friends.
Edit: To the fans of the Series, community recently released a fan Remaster of the game. I hope if Myth does get added to GOG they will have a simplified installation option for it too. It's not too hard to do, but being able to skip the short process would be nice.
Easily one of my top 10 all time games. I purchased this game when it first came out as it had 3d FX support. It looked amazing back then. The 3d maps with the 2d characters was fantastic. The blood and guts would stay on the ground for the entire time when most games would fade them away after a few seconds. The physics of the projectiles was also amazing. Multiplayer was also fantastic with FPS type matches like death match, team death match, CTF, King of the hill but as a RTS was brilliant. My friends and I would race home after school to play multiplayer. Such great fun memories.
Myth is the single greatest achievement by Bungie studios in their entire career. Marathon is a close second.
Myth is my childhood. I have never found a game as good as the Myth series since its release. At least, not in the RTS genre.
Myth is the kind of game that GOG EVEN EXISTS FOR. This is quite possibly THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE ever held on GoG.
Words cannot describe how much this game means to me, and anyone who was there in the bungie.net days playing TFL and Myth 2.
It simply is magical. It has never been equaled.
The narrations and storyline. The physics. The gorgeous maps. The humor, the carnage, the endless modability and replayability.
Myth 2 should be on GoG FOR SURE, myth 1 is not that supported but for posterity I think it should still be available.
