The humor in the game is derived from its absurd design choices, such as the marksman class scaling abilities off wisdom, which players find amusingly illogical. Additionally, the game's lack of improvement since 2008, and perceived downgrade, adds a layer of dark humor to the overall experience.
- “Some abilities for the marksman class, for instance, scale off of wisdom, which is hilarious. Why would you select wisdom for a ranged marksman class?”
- “I remember what this game looked like in 2008, and the fact that the game not only hasn't seen any improvement since then, but in fact has been downgraded since 2008 is just hilarious.”

- “Mythos has a lot of content that encourages players to return, making it a great choice for those who enjoy exploring different aspects of the game.”
- “The game has a lot of content unlocked from the shop, but it feels like a nostalgia trip rather than a game worth replaying. It has major issues, like the 0fps bug in Hellgate: London, which makes it almost unplayable. Mythos suffers from many mistranslated areas, and it's doubtful they'll ever be fixed.”
- “While the game offers some replay value, it ultimately feels like a one-time experience. The nostalgia factor is there, but the lack of meaningful updates or improvements makes it hard to justify multiple playthroughs.”
