About

Mythaka

Features
Read full description

Mythaka is a single-player stone-casting combat roguelike inspired by Mancala. Choose a pocket and cast its stones around the board. Build an attack with captures and extra casts, then defeat the Foe before Sand reaches its limit. Each Foe follows visible rules. Read its priorities to predict its next cast, and set up your pockets for the next turn. Combine Charms, Relics and Potions to change how your stones behave. Choose what to buy in the Shop and plan the order of your casts to make those effects work together. Play through eight worlds inspired by mythology, including Olympia, Yggdrasil and Tenochtitlan. Each world has its own board, Foes and items.
