About Mythic Yi

Amidst the pixelated and mythical wilderness, draw your bow toward the heavens, chase the sun, and carve out your own ancient epic.

Game Introduction

"Mythic Yi" is a retro pixel-style turn-based RPG set in the primordial era when ten suns scorched the earth and chaos reigned. You will play as Yi, leading companions and wielding the Heaven-Shaking Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrows on a grand journey to slay six ferocious beasts and save humanity.

Yet, this is not the old legend you know—

• Ten suns dominating the sky: a calamity, but also a conspiracy;

• Chang'e fleeing to the moon: no longer a solitary destiny, but a heart-wrenching farewell transcending gods and mortals;

• Jingwei filling the sea with twigs: could it be that what she seeks to mend is not just the ocean, but millennia of regret?

• When the pillars of heaven crumble and the stars fall into disarray, you will personally decide the finale of this myth—or rewrite it entirely.

Game Features

• Pixelated Epic: Meticulously crafted retro visuals—wastelands, divine realms, dense forests—every frame is a living ancient scroll.

• Strategic Turn-Based Combat: The interplay of the Five Elements, celestial phenomena, and arrow skills create a dynamic yet thoughtfully paced battle system.

• Reimagined Mythology: Multi-branch narratives and pivotal choices turn gods like Di Jun, Fu Xi, and Nü Wa into allies or adversaries, altering their fates—and yours.

Draw your bow, shoot the suns;

Tread the moon, chase the tides.

This time, you hold the pen that writes the myth.
