The hand-to-hand strategy reflects military theory as the high ground gives you a distinct advantage, units react to distractions and feints and the pincer maneuver remains the ultimate weapon for those who leave units exposed. Myth II: Soulblighter is about combat - not escaping mazes, marshalling resources or developing a character. By the end of any encounter, the carnage of war covers the field of honor Blood flies as units clash, corpses and body parts litter the ground and scorch marks from Dwarven Molotov cocktails blacken the field of battle. The game keeps running statistics of your battles, allowing you to compare your 'kill ratio' and military skill with that of thousands of other players. You can mix-and-match the various units, creating a force that fits you perfectly whether you believe in slow formation advances or Blitzkrieg tactics. Goals of these games range from pure military strategy such as 'King of the Hill' (you take the high ground and hold it against all opposition) to the playground -reminiscent and aptly-titled 'Kill The Guy With The Ball.' Combine a variety of scenarios, each with different terrain, with the always-unpredictable human foe and you've got a gaming experience that remains fresh. In multi-player mode, you can create an army and then give control of units to other people. While the scenarios are part of the single-player game, Myth II supports networking against other players as well. Myth II consists of more than twenty individual scenarios in which you control assorted forces and fight to achieve varied goals, all of which involve combat. You can fly up for a high overview, rotate 360 degrees to look from any angle, slide left or right and even zoom in so close you can see the facial expressions of your fully-rendered soldiers. Imagine yourself looking down on a medieval battlefield. Realistic 3D presentation is the cornerstone of a riveting strategy-gaming experience. The action is controlled from a top-down angled view which is rotatable, and players can preset groups and assign them tasks. Dwarves can crumble the walls of a castle with their mortars, archers can shoot lit arrows into dry grass to spark a great blaze, and drawbridges lower. Myth II: Soulblighter strives for realism.

Like its predecessor, Myth II is a fully-rendered 3D world in which you pit your forces of light against the forces of evil, this time led by Soulblighter, one of the all-powerful bad guys from the original game. Myth II: Soulblighter is the follow-up to Bungie's real-time combat game, Myth.
