I have been following Myth: Gods of Asgard for quite some time, way before the beta tests, as the trailers captured my attention. I must admit that I spent more time than I was expecting playing for these impressions, as I got sucked into the mystical world with all that furious action and stunning graphics. The palette choices are aesthetically pleasant, a true hand-painted feast for the eyes, and the overall art direction is accomplished and engaging. The various deities are represented through some incredible artwork, notably visible in the skill cards that are nothing short of amazing. Called divine powers, these provide you with all kinds of buffs, and besides being of great taste, each one comes with a fair bit of lore related to the character at hand, showing that there’s quite a lot of care going into these cards and the world itself.

When you step into the battlefield, the game remains amazing to look at. The colors are vivid, the details are sharp and clear, the animations fluid and compelling. The comparisons to Hades aren’t a mere bullet point; they are credible and, in my opinion, Myth: Gods of Asgard even comes out as the winner in terms of colors choices.

But that’s only the visual part. In terms of gameplay, Myth: Gods of Asgard thankfully strays far from the mobile trends of idle gaming and instead offers you full and brutal hack and slash control over your character, with all-important dashes and skills to be activated in the heat of the moment. It’s extremely fast, fluid, fun to watch but also to play, and it’s even better because there are various classes to unlock during the campaign and switch to anytime. However, some stages will ask you to play with a specific hero due to valid story constraints.

As of now, there are five roles or heroes to pick from, starting with the agile Brynhild, a Valkyrie with a pointy spear. Your first campaign unlock will be Siegfried, a hero wielding a massive sword and damage focused. Then, the mighty god of thunder Thor comes into play, with a great balance between damage and survivability. Hunter Ullr is the fourth hero, with his bow allowing for ranged combat that may increase his odds at keeping far from enemies, but this is one of the toughest characters to control. Finally, we have Freya, the god of magic, with her ranged magic attacks to go with her stunning looks, there’s no denying that. With Thor and Loki battling, the Ragnarok and the like, you may even find some hints of Marvel’s Avengers epicness in this game.

Character power and inventory is shared between all heroes, so you won’t have to worry about leveling up each one independently. Apart from the main weapon, gear is shareable and upgradeable across all of them, saving you from unnecessary grind.

Obviously, each hero plays very differently, and it felt great to try various approaches. Close range or long range, fast or more damage-oriented, and especially with the help of the divine cards, it’s easy to create very distinct builds that may be more suited for this or that mode or stage. Preparation is where you pick these cards from your pool, starting with the deity that will be summoned when you activate the ultimate skill – the choice is between Odin, Frigg, Valkyrie, and a few more. Then you have 10 additional card slots, so you can imagine the combinations and the possibilities at hand, even more considering that going for a specific divinity will boost your damage across various tiers.

The effects of card affinity are clearly visible. As soon as I started focusing on two types of deities – Sif and Frigg in my case – I could finally boost my damage stats and pass the level that had me stomped for a while. The gameplay remains fast and furious throughout all classes, but the variations in mobility and range jump at you and it’s easy to see how different players will have diverse favorites. Experiment with the heroes and the builds to find your comfortable spot, and you may achieve success in ways that you weren’t expecting.

Combine the cards with the huge talent tree choices and you get a build that may be entirely unique across thousands and thousands of players. If a level proves a little bit too difficult, a few changes may just be what it takes to complete it.

Now it’s time for a quick intermission where I reveal the Myth: Gods of Asgard gift code to grab a nice in-game reward. Here it is: LOVEMYTH. Claim the reward by going to that home icon on the left and clicking the present, then type it and behold – diamonds!

Let me get this one out of the way right now – see that Auto button right there in the corner? You can safely ignore it if you want to progress through the campaign and other challenges. The game could do entirely without it since most of the stages are skill-based, but I guess it’s there for when you want to grind some easier levels or PvP battles. Why should you avoid it elsewhere? Because it is in no way up to the ability of a human player, starting with the lack of survival instinct, meaning that they don’t dodge the enemy hit areas, making your hero a hit sponge that will die in the blink of an eye.

You won’t go into battle alone, as a selection of trusty pets will be at hand. These Eudemons range from fairly cute to “I’ll devour your soul” material, and for each one there’s an evolved mode that turns them into pure devastation machines. You can deploy up to three creatures, and they are useful sidekicks.

Raising your heroes is something that can be done through several means. The inescapable one is by summoning the divine cards from the hall of gods, something that you can do with the keys or diamonds that you earn at quite a fast rate during the first days of playing. The time garden gives you experience and other rewards even when you’re not playing based on the number of battles you have completed, so this is a great way to boost your account each day. Then you have tons of activities in the world, some of which I’ll detail here.

I find the most appealing to be the Death Labyrinth, a rogue-like approach that spices up things and makes everything different each single run. As the name implies, you enter this maze where each level contains a challenge or event, often with two exits to the next level. A successful level rewards you with one of three skills, resulting in very distinct builds for each run. Every now and then you may find a treasure chest or varied challenges, and eventually a merchant where you can spend your coins. This is a challenging and fun mode that adds a layer of randomness and player-oriented skill selection that obviously brings you more rewards.

The Asgard Realm is the place where you wipe floor after floor of enemies and collect precious gear for your heroes. The challenge is increasingly hard, so don’t expect a smooth ride as it will take some leveling up between floors.

I found the Believer’s Wishes a fun and easy way to get some extra currency and materials. In a nutshell, believers will pray for your favor with some interesting and often offbeat stories. There’s a graveyard keeper who’s being bothered by the undead, a woman who’s been hearing things and suspects it’s a demon’s curse, Emily’s pet Jerry who keeps trying to stretch its tongue longer and she wishes it would stop doing that, a little boy who has too much homework to do and prays that the parchment starts writing itself, or poor John who drank too much and didn’t come home and is now scared to face his wife. Seems legit, and above all, these little tales can be quite fun to read.

A great place to get those diamonds is the goblin treasure vault. It’s a place filled with treasure and the better you perform, the more you earn. Obviously, it comes with limited daily entries, but this is one of various activities that you should complete every day to improve your character.

There are a few other modes and trials to unlock when you reach the higher stages, but it’s inevitable to mention the arena, where players battle for the top rankings. With daily and season rewards, it’s worth going the extra mile in these short but brutal one-on-one battles where skilled players will come out on top, assuming you don’t try to bite more than you can chew – always go for players around the same power as yours, maybe slightly higher if you are feeling confident.

One of the things that I have enjoyed is the hub where Odin and other deities are, serving as occasional trial givers. The quizzes that we get to solve are the kind of thing that I really enjoy in games when tied to the lore, and here it works perfectly. Other games take the easy route and go for pop culture that has nothing to do with the game’s subject, but here it’s all about Norse mythology and the story behind each deity.

Myth: Gods of Asgard lived up to my expectations in every sense. It’s a challenging game that you can play just for a bit every day to progress and have fun, but if you want to go full-on competitive in PvP and guild play, you can enjoy the host of modes and possibilities that allow you to unlock new heroes, level up, and discover new skills.

The action is lightning fast and despite all the flashy visual effects, it is pretty much skill-based, with the auto-function being ineffective for the most important modes. The idea of having various heroes to choose from adds another layer of diversity to the game, diversifying playstyles and personal picks, not to mention the cool factor inherent from their design. Power sharing spares you from unnecessary individual grind, and having to control specific heroes in some stages is the kind of encouragement that we need to learn the intricacies of each one and discover who ends up being the personal favorite. Finally, the builds we can create using the cards and talent tree are remarkably deep and prone to countless strategies.

Fans of action RPGs should dive into Myth: Gods of Asgard with no hesitation. The action is fun, graphics are stunning, and it’s a nice challenge. Check the links in the video description, keep an eye out for release day, and gear up for this great romp featuring some impressive deities.
