How to Decide

Myth: The Fallen Lords is known for its physics‑driven destructible terrain and deep tactical RTS combat, and is used by strategy and fantasy enthusiasts. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Sacrifice leans into god‑like powers that let you summon mythic units and call down lightning; Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an action‑RPG focused on massive loot pools and deep character customization rather than RTS mechanics; Myth II: Soulblighter offers a classic sequel with a built‑in map editor, Linux/macOS support, and a robust resource system; Kohan II: Kings of War emphasizes a persistent kingdom economy and a roster of up to 30 unit types across multiple races; War Wind provides four distinct factions and a deep single‑player campaign but lacks any multiplayer mode.

When weighing these options, the key factors that actually differentiate them are: 1) pricing model and MSRP (ranging from $19.99 for Myth to $59.99 for Kingdoms of Amalur), 2) multiplayer availability and mode depth (Myth, Sacrifice, Myth II, and Kohan II include multiplayer/co‑op, whereas Kingdoms of Amalur and War Wind do not), 3) platform coverage (Myth II runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, while others are Windows‑only or Windows/macOS), and 4) unit‑type breadth and strategic depth (Kohan II’s 30 unit types and economy system versus War Wind’s four faction‑specific line‑ups, and Sacrifice’s god‑power mechanics).
