Mythic Entertainment

Mythic Entertainment at a Glance

Mythic Entertainment operated as a United States based developer and publisher from 1996 through 2014. This company released ten titles that appear on PlayPile, with the vast majority developed in house rather than published for other studios. Their output peaked during the late 1990s when they launched five games before slowing to two releases in the 2000s and three more in the 2010s. The studio focused heavily on the PC platform, as eight of their ten games ran on Microsoft Windows. They also supported Mac, iOS, and Android with a single release each or two titles combined for mobile devices. The company specialized in role playing games, which accounted for half of their catalog. Shooters made up three entries while strategy, real time strategy, sport, point and click adventure, and MOBA genres filled out the rest. Their reputation rests on a few standout hits from the early 2000s. Dark Age of Camelot released in October 2001 and holds an impressive 89.8 rating on IGDB. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning followed in September 2008 with a strong 82.6 score. These two titles represent the studio at its peak and show why they gained recognition for massively multiplayer online role playing games. The quality of their later work showed a sharp decline. The final game listed for Mythic Entertainment is Dungeon Keeper, released in January 2014 with a dismal 16.6 rating. This low score pulls down the average IGDB rating across their three rated titles to 63 out of 100. While they managed two great games that scored above 80, the rest of their portfolio includes poor entries that drag the overall assessment down. The studio was active for nearly two decades but struggled to maintain quality as time went on. Players who seek consistent performance from this developer will find a mix of high praise and significant disappointment depending on which era of their history they explore.
