The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, particularly the unique stone and deck-building systems that add depth and strategy, reminiscent of classic RPGs like Diablo. However, players note a significant difficulty imbalance as the game progresses, leading to frustration. While the visuals and animations are appealing, some find the overall experience can feel stiff or unbalanced, yet many appreciate the nostalgic elements and mythological backdrop.
- “Overall, it's a very fun game mechanic and quite enjoyable to play.”
- “The whole stones/skills/deckbuilding system and mechanics are really clever, which is why I was initially interested in the game. Once I got to try it, the stone-deckbuilding part seemed even cooler with hidden synergies that I hadn't considered.”
- “The gameplay is smooth with nifty animations and has been completely lag-free for me.”
- “Unfortunately, the gameplay is terrible, which completely ruins the game.”
- “There was lag during gameplay which I saw no reason for as no one else seemed to be online.”

The story in the game is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many reviewers noting that it offers a generic mythological backdrop reminiscent of titles like Titan Quest but fails to deliver a compelling narrative. Players encounter random quests and minimal storytelling, often conveyed through small text windows, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game features interesting mythological elements and numerous quests, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a disjointed and uninspiring story.
- “Gameplay is amusing, the backgrounds beautiful, and the plot interesting.”
- “Mytheon is a good old-fashioned RPG, which includes two cool moments: Greek and Egyptian mythologies like in Titan Quest and unique upgrades of characters.”
- “Each individual also has 'feats' which are a set of instance quests you don't have to pick up; they are already in the journal, you just have to complete them in a single run of each particular instance.”
- “It borrows a summoning type mechanic that reminds me of the earliest SpellForce games; other than that, it has no real story outside of the aforementioned mythological backdrop.”
- “You are forced to play online in an empty lobby, the tutorial is plain bad, and the story is only told in small windows in the corner of the screen.”
- “There is no story or quest to pull you into the game; you meet people that give you random quests.”
