The game world of Myrtana spans a massive, seamless open world with no loading screens or invisible barriers, inviting players to freely explore and discover its secrets at their own pace. The open-world design grants a high degree of player agency, allowing them to pursue the main questline or freely roam the land, tackling side quests and engaging with the various factions and characters.

❤ Combat and Character Progression

The combat system requires players to carefully time their attacks and blocks, utilizing the environment and enemy patterns to their advantage. Players can choose from a diverse array of melee and ranged weapons, each with unique playstyles and strengths. Community patches have significantly improved the depth and complexity of the combat mechanics, addressing previous criticisms. The character progression system empowers players to shape their character's development through a vast array of skills and abilities across various trees, such as Hunting, Blacksmithing, Thievery, Alchemy, and Magic. This high degree of customization and freedom in character building adds to the game's replayability, as players can experiment with different builds and approaches to tackle the challenges they face.

❤ Faction Interactions and Consequences

The game world is divided among various factions, including the human rebels, the Orc invaders, and the Hashishin. Players' choices in aligning with a particular faction, working as a mercenary, or maintaining neutrality can have significant consequences, affecting their reputation and relationships with the different groups. The game's consequence system is particularly noteworthy, as players' actions can permanently lock quests and associated storylines, forcing them to live with the weight of their decisions.
