Mythlink

Mythlink is a VR-only monster-battling game in which you train a monster, called a Mythlink, and battle other players online. You choose your Mythlink at the start. As you improve your own strength, dexterity and brain through training exercises, your Mythlink improves too, forming a bond called a Mythlink Unity.

Choose your Mythlink

Each Mythlink has a different set of abilities:

• Minorod: a tough minotaur that uses lightning- and earth-based abilities.
• Galest: a goofy, ghostly Mythlink that uses tricky wind- and dark-based abilities.
• Urusagi: a cute, cuddly rabbit Mythlink with sound and light abilities.

Mythlinks have three stats that improve through play: strength, brain and speed. Strength increases the damage your Mythlink deals, brain helps it learn more advanced moves, and speed lets it move and react faster.

Train your stats

You take part in exercises to improve yourself and your Mythlink. Strength training involves punching and using force; speed training focuses on moving quickly. The training games include:

• Punching Bag: hit a bag as many times as possible in a short time, aiming for targets to earn bonus points and experience.
• Engine Buster: punch malfunctioning machines in the Mythlink training facility to stop them spewing smoke.
• Punch Junction: dodge machine attacks and strike their weak points in a test of focus, speed and strength.
• Pile Up: clear blocks in a VR take on a classic block-clearing game, keeping every piece inside the box.
• Baller Dodge: dodge objects thrown at you for as long as possible; you cannot fight back.
• Color Blitz: play a game of tag with sporadically moving shapes, trying not to let any slip by.

Battle online

Once your Mythlink Unity is confident in its skills, you can enter online one-on-one battles against other Mythlink Unities. Players stand at opposite ends of an arena, view the action and control their Mythlinks as they use abilities to knock out their opponents. The last Mythlink standing wins.

Each Mythlink has 30 abilities to choose from, most of which are unique to that Mythlink. You can equip up to nine abilities for battle, choosing between quick, lower-damage basic attacks, powerful advanced moves or a mix of both.
