Another game on the list to compete against Diablo II. There's been a few to contend but all have failed. The game might actually be the first to be able to contend with Diablo II though as the people working on it are the people who worked on Diablo II. The game is made up of a mishmash of fantasy cliches combined with the humour of gremlins with cigars, homicidal toys and farmers who'll summon zombies.

In the eight years since Diablo II was released, many titles have tried to recreate its addictive qualities, but none have truly cracked the secrets of what kept players coming back.

Mythos, the new 'free' MMO from Flagship Studios, is the latest contender, joyous in its countless homages and similarities to Blizzard's action-RPG. The difference, of course, is that Flagship know the secrets of Diablo, because most of them created the whole goddamn series in their former jobs at Blizzard North.

So, the game has breeding; the question is, can a free game deliver the goods?
