The mobile gaming landscape has evolved to include so-called walking games, which not only involve navigating your digital avatar through a 3D world but also require actual walking in real life. A prime example is Pokémon Go, which combines walking with other gameplay elements, while others like Mythwalker focus solely on walking and exploration.
Mythwalker, which initially launched in November of last year, has recently received a significant update, introducing over 20 new quests to its repertoire. This expansion delves deeper into the Mythwalker universe, shedding light on the origins and motivations of the enigmatic Drakates.
Players can now embark on a variety of adventures, from uncovering the origins of these mysterious yet powerful adversaries to escorting explosive and combative goblin caravan guards. Additionally, you'll have the chance to explore pirate traditions from around the world while fending off a ruthless squadron of corsairs.
One of these new quests will take you to "a specific, well-known landmark," and Mythwalker suggests setting a portal for a future visit.
What sets Mythwalker apart is its accessibility, featuring options like the tap-to-move mechanic and the Hyport Gateway, which allows virtual travel to different parts of the world, regardless of your physical location.
While geolocation games often face limitations in scope, Mythwalker's expansive scale and the consistent pace of its content updates are a testament to the dedication of developer NantGames.
As you await the update, if you're looking for something to play between your real-world explorations with Mythwalker, consider checking out some of our reviews, such as Jupiter's take on Good Coffee, Great Coffee!
