Played from an isometric viewpoint, Mythos is very much Diablo-style with non-stop action and loot dropping liking it's going out of fashion.
The game world works a bit like Guild Wars. Each zone has a central town, a number of instances of which can exist depending on the population level in this hub.
Once you leave the hub to embark on quests, everything is instanced and randomly generated, from paths through to dungeons to the dungeons themselves.
So, once you venture into the wild, it's either just you on your own or you with your party of plucky fellow adventures pitted against the opponents the game throws at you.
When it's on full public release, you'll be able to download and play Mythos for free, which is bloody brilliant in our book.
