What is Mythmon: Mythic Monsters?
If you're bored of the same old board-game layouts and want to scratch that auto-battler itch, you've gotta try Mythmon: Mythic Monsters. It's a weird, addictive mix of a monster collector and a tactical brawler that lets you build a powerhouse squad to smash the Demon King.
Gameplay
You're building a squad of Mythmon to take down the Demon King, but it's less like a chess match in TFT and more like a tactical brawler. Your main loop is all about the prep: you've got 30 unique monsters to manage, over 140 pieces of gear to hunt for, and traits to pick as your team levels up. Once you've tweaked your formations, you just let loose and watch the hack-and-slash action unfold. It's a satisfying 'build a powerhouse' vibe that makes you actually care about your roster.
That said, the progression has some serious friction. You'll find that experience is basically just stage progress in disguise, since you can't level past the highest stage you've cleared. This turns the game into a loot grind pretty quickly. It's also a paid title at $7.99, which is weird for an autobattler since most are free-to-play. You're paying for a smaller, indie experience, so don't expect the polish of a giant studio. It's a bit janky and rough around the edges, but the monster-taming hook keeps it moving.

What Players Say
Opinions are split on this one. Some love the vibe, saying it feels like a 'really unique' hidden gem from the PS2 era. Others aren't buying it, calling the game 'deeply ugly' with a bad UI and obvious store-bought assets. There's also a big gripe about the level structure, with one player noting that the XP system is just a disguise for stage progress, which makes the whole thing feel like a tedious loot grind.

Verdict
“Deeply ugly, no artstyle, you can feel the bought assets. Incredibly odd to have monsters then they just use human weapons in human ways. UI is bad. level structure underwhelming. Autobattle is whatev…”
“Remember when it was the dreamcast/ps2 era and you'd go to gamestop and buy some random game for 4 dollars that you'd never heard of that was hella Japanese and barely translated but really unique and…”
“My biggest gripe is that exp is just stage progress in disguise. you cannot level past the highest stage cleared, and 1 clear of that stage is enough to get you there. turning this into a loot grind a…”
I'd give it a 7.5/10. It's for you if you love collecting monsters and kitting them out with gear, but skip it if you can't stand unpolished UI or pay-to-play indie titles. Just be ready for some jank.
