MYTH: SOULBLIGHTER 2
Myth II: Soulblighter is the sequel to Bungie's real-time tactical title Myth. Like its predecessor, it places players in a fully rendered 3D environment where forces of light face a powerful antagonist led by Soulblighter, a central figure from the original game. Myth II emphasizes realism: dwarves can bring down castle walls with mortars, archers can set dry grass alight with flaming arrows to create sweeping fires, and drawbridges operate dynamically. Gameplay is directed from a rotatable, angled top-down perspective, and players can organize units into preset groups and assign them tasks.
Detailed 3D presentation is at the heart of an immersive strategy experience. From an elevated viewpoint you can zoom out for a wide overview, rotate a full 360 degrees to see the field from any angle, pan smoothly, or zoom in close enough to appreciate the facial expressions of fully rendered soldiers. The game features more than twenty distinct scenarios in which you command varied forces to achieve diverse objectives, most of which center on tactical engagements. In addition to the single-player scenarios, Myth II offers robust networking options for multiplayer matches: quick local games for two to fifteen players, and online real-time battles involving up to four opposing armies available at any time, day or night.
In multiplayer, you can assemble an army and delegate unit control to other players. Objectives range from classic military challenges like King of the Hill — securing and holding high ground — to lighthearted, playground-inspired modes that emphasize fast-paced, social competition. The combination of varied terrain and unpredictable human opponents keeps each session engaging and refreshingly different.
You can combine units to create a force that matches your preferred style, whether you favor steady formation advances or rapid, concentrated assaults. The game records detailed battle statistics so you can evaluate your combat performance and compare it with thousands of other players. Dynamic combat effects and rich battlefield details enhance immersion, and each encounter leaves a distinct visual impression on the field.
Myth II: Soulblighter centers on tactical combat rather than maze navigation, resource management, or character progression. Close-quarters engagements reflect strategic principles such as the advantage of higher ground, units responding to feints and distractions, and the effectiveness of coordinated pincer maneuvers when formations are exposed.
New units introduced in Myth II: Soulblighter include:
Warlock — a spellcaster who launches fireballs and uses abilities that can disorient opposing forces.
Heron Knights — resilient frontline fighters suited to sustained engagements.
Stygian Knights — magically animated suits of armor that march into battle.
Myrkridia — swift, goat-like creatures that excel at mobility.
Greater Myrkridia — larger variants capable of launching multiple explosive projectiles.
Maul — sturdy, boar-like creatures providing robust support.
Bre'Unor — units with the ability to command wolves and coordinate pack tactics.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
