MythWalker: A Fresh Take on Geolocation RPGs
MythWalker blends classic fantasy with real-world locations, offering a unique geolocation RPG experience. Explore the game world either by physically walking or using the convenient tap-to-move feature from the comfort of your home. Available now on iOS and Android.
The current trend of walking for fitness or transportation has inspired numerous mobile games. Niantic's Monster Hunter Now is a prime example. However, MythWalker offers a compelling alternative, presenting an original fantasy universe separate from existing franchises.
Players assume the roles of Warriors, Spellslingers, or Priests, engaging in battles, exploration, and navigation within the game's world. The game seamlessly integrates real-world movement with fantasy gameplay, encouraging players to stay active while enjoying a unique gaming experience.
For those who prefer indoor play, MythWalker incorporates Portal Energy and a tap-to-move function, allowing players to progress even on rainy days or without leaving their homes. This flexibility caters to a broader audience, ensuring accessibility regardless of weather or personal preference.
Market Potential and Challenges
MythWalker's original universe and lack of franchise ties could attract a significant player base seeking fresh experiences in the geolocation gaming genre. However, the market has seen many AR and geolocation games struggle to replicate the phenomenal success of Pokémon Go. While MythWalker's success isn't guaranteed, its unique features and gameplay mechanics position it well for a strong showing in a competitive market. The long-term success, however, remains to be seen.
