About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare to dive into Myth, a cooperative fantasy game where you and your friends take on the roles of legendary heroes battling against the encroaching darkness. Each hero boasts a unique skill deck, allowing for strategic and impactful actions in every act of a story. The goal is straightforward: defeat the Darkness! But beware, as your actions directly influence the advancement of evil. Spending action points to grow stronger might awaken more monsters and bring greater challenges. With each story, divided into three acts, you'll need plenty of communication and teamwork to overcome the dangers. The Darkness isn't controlled by a player but by a set of rules that react to your choices. If you're too bold, it retaliates with more monsters and dire events. If you're too cautious, you might lack the treasures and equipment needed for subsequent acts. Myth offers a dynamic experience where you forge your own legends, with the option to save the game and continue in another session. The variety of heroes and the unpredictable nature of the Darkness ensure each playthrough is a new epic adventure. It's an invitation to craft memorable tales with friends, filled with laughter and intense challenges.
