The Greek gods have been a forefront in a lot of games either in consoles and online. From the games like Herc's Adventures from the old PlayStation, to browser based game Ikariam you would see Greek gods as the provider of bonuses and whatever necessities for you to be successful in the game. The browser-based game Mythos is no different.
In Mythos you are the leader of a village that is worshipping a certain Greek God of your choice. Whichever God you choose determines the bonuses you have. You also get to acquire a hero that you can level up, and improve that which will eventually help you out in the later stages of the game. Come to think of it, the gameplay is not really new or innovative. As most games of this genre have the same concept and even the game system. So, do not expect anything new with Mythos.
However, without anything new to offer to the genre, the one thing that Mythos Gold does have is the competitiveness of the game and the relatively fast paced gameplay it provides. Mythos has a time limit system in the form of ages. Your goal within the age is to acquire the most lands because the lands determine your military and economic strength, which serve as your ticket to becoming known within the community. Also, the game has an archive system where, if you are the person who becomes the most prominent player of the age, the annals of Mythos would then carry your name as the title of that age. So the game gives you enough reason to be excited, at least for those players who are looking for a challenge in their browser games.
In any strategy browser game like Mythos, the most important factor in the game is the options of being able to manage your resources. What you have in Mythos is like any other Browser game. You have resources, structures, people and military units to balance manufacture and manage. Everything feels so generic in Mythos Gold. The game even lacks any dynamic images unlike other browser games who have at least gifs included in their interface. On the offside, the beauty of this simplistic interface is that you will not get smothered by almost useless images that are often the bane of browser games with with more dynamic imagery. Also the loading time of the game is fast and crisp and the only thing you would have to waste time on is the time for your structures and unit's completion.
