Mytheon Interview

GameZone caught up with Mytheon product development director Peter Cesario for a quick conversation about the action/strategy/RPG crossbreed.
Collectability is one of the touted features of Mytheon. What can you collect and how do you obtain these items?

PC: The collectability aspect of Mytheon revolves around what we call (Power Stones). These Power Stones are gifts from the Fates themselves to help provide humanity a fighting chance against the Gods. Each Power Stone that a player can collect provides a unique power, whether in the form of a summonable creature, such as a Minotaur King, a structure perhaps in the form of a Catapult, or even a spell such as an Ice Storm or Fire Wall. Again, our intent here was to provide players endless combinations when creating the battle system for Mytheon. Rather than create a standard Skill Tree often found in RPG's, we wanted to give players a reason to collect and therefore created a Power Stone system that allows the player to customize their battle techniques based on the Power Stones they collect, create or purchase. By creating a unique power behind each stone, adding rarity and randomization to drops and loot and then adding some special abilities created by collecting and utilizing specific stone powers, we have created an extremely rewarding collection process.
