Myth Draft

Joan of Arc slays a dragon with a holy sword. Momotaro fights beside the oni Shuten-dōji. Lü Bu holds the line. 118 heroes from history, myth and folktales share a battlefield in the realm of the dead. Collect heroes and climb the World Tree in Myth Draft, a solo strategy roguelike. No time limit, ads or paid gacha. Play on a 10-minute commute or fight a battle before bed. Pause and resume anytime. ■ Victory is 3 parts luck, 7 parts strategy Armies fight in one line. Front heroes clash; when one falls, the rest advance. Put a defender in front, archers and mages behind. Taunt draws attacks, Sneak strikes the rear, and Stun stops enemies. ■ Read the changing Battle Rules Each battle brings new rules. Downpour weakens bows and boosts magic. Pincer lets your last hero target the enemy's last. Underdogs strengthens low-cost heroes. 24 rules change which heroes shine and which formation works best. ■ Forge Bonds Heroes linked by legend grow stronger together. Momotaro, Kintaro and Urashima Taro share the Bond of Fairy Tales; King Arthur, Lancelot and Gawain, the Bond of the Round Table; Oda Nobunaga, Sakamoto Ryōma and Billy the Kid, the Bond of Gunpowder. Discover surprising combinations across 39 Bonds. ■ No two journeys alike Choose branching paths, recruit heroes from battle rewards, train at rests and spend gold at merchants. Face the oni Shuten-dōji in Chapter 1, Field of the Einherjar; the enchantress Morgan le Fay in Chapter 2, Citadel of Oblivion; and the evil god Loki, who stole the throne, in Chapter 3, Throne of Twilight. Beyond lies the true ending. Defeat ends your journey. Bring back Soul Flame to rebuild the Hall of Heroes and gain a small advantage next time. Hardcore players can choose to forgo the Hall's benefits. ■ 8 Summoners change how you play Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon, foresees rules. Kuroda Kanbei, the God of War, recruits defeated foes. Morgan le Fay, the Enchantress, sacrifices heroes to strengthen others. Merlin, Taikōbō, Abe no Seimei, Xu Fu and Elizabeth I complete the eight.

I've been an online TCG producer, led in-game design for a major title, and served as lead game designer on a title for Asia. I also wrote a book on making blockchain games. Thanks to my gamer friends for all the serious playtesting. Languages: Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, German and French.
