Petroglyph Games' PC multiplayer action RPG Mytheon enters open beta today, as promised, with a 41MB client available from your friendly neighbourhood FileShack.

Big tree monsters, giant stone cephalopods.

The Panzer General: Allied Assault and Star Wars: Empire at War developer's first foray into the RPG genre is set in a world inspired by ancient Greek mythology, with three classes who must slay such fantastical monsters as gorgons and minotaurs for gold and items concealed about their person. There's also PvP play, if you like such things.

Playing within the first three days also nets you the chance to win fabulous prizes.

Mytheon will remain free when it launches this spring, supported by an unspecified "variety of purchase options for those who wish to further enhance their experience."

Been in the closed beta for a couple weeks, though I've been neglecting the game. It has some interesting approaches to and ideas about combat, but it's an action rpg in the same way that Guild Wars is rather than a more Diabloey feel.

  i got in the closed beta pretty late (just a week or so ago) but i kinda dig it. its a weird little game, and i havent played it enough to make an informed judgement, but it feels a little... simple, i guess. so far the whole strategy seems to be "summon a bunch of shit, band select them, and click something. repeat."
  
  im hoping it gets a little more complicated as i move on through the game, so i have to put some kind of thought into how i build my deck (or whatever terminology it is they use for my set of "stones")...
