Myth was a kick starter game that had a ton of problems out of the gate and I stopped paying attention to it, not sure if they got it working well yet or not.
Descent is a great game, tactical dungeon crawler. Not as much exploration as you might like or story line development, but there are definitely RPG elements and it is heavily fantasy influenced.
Descent requires an Overlord though, until the new Co-Op app I just posted comes out in a few weeks anyway.. And if you want to play it with a campaign it will require several 2-4 hour sessions to get through the entire story line. You can however just pick random quests and buff your characters accordingly OR create your own campaign. There is also a bunch of fan made maps available through their official website with a map builder tool they released.
Another one that looks pretty good right now for a co-op fantasy RPG style is Sword and Sorcery on kickstarter, but it won't be out until the fall.
Other than that I think Arcadia Quest might be a good pick, up another dungeon game. The miniatures a bit more arcadeish or cartoonish, but I have heard the game is pretty solid. Tom Vassal is a Descent fanboi but he was raving about it, top 25 games he's ever played. You kind of play against each other in this one though while fighting against the monsters.
