Indonesia, 20 September 2022 - Following their successful showing at one of the biggest NFT event of the year, NFT NYC, the Mythic Protocol team is excited to launch their public-playtest product: the Mythic Protocol: Retainer Academy.
Since its inception, Mythic Protocol has challenged the very definitions of a web3 product – electing to develop its franchise and game without any prior NFT sales. The core philosophy adopted by their founders and core leadership revolves around the creation of meaningful experiences and utility. The Mythic Protocol: Retainer Academy public access test serves as part of a series of product validating exercises that the team will undertake.
Serving primarily as a proof-of-concept for the “stickiness” or visceral experience of their core gameplay loop, this public access playtest invites web3 audiences and gamers to step into the shoes of “Retainers” within the secretive Mythic Protocol. The Retainer Academy, a clandestine training facility, gives players a stripped-down version of the upcoming Mythic Protocol game – doing away with their intended ARPG features to instead focus on the moment-to-moment feel and replayability of the Rogue-lite genre. In aims to enhance the replayability aspect within the playtest, Mythic Protocol has also added multiplayer co-op for players to enjoy.
Having conducted an exclusive preview of their community of creators, guilds, and Medallion holders, the team now invites players from around the world to partake in the fun.
“We hope to validate our rogue-lite thesis with this build – focusing on refining the experience of shooting and dodging to give that satisfying “oh hell yeah” moment,” said Kristian Utomo, the Game Product Manager at Mythic Protocol. “That satisfying visual and auditory cue of a perfectly charged shot, or the satisfying mayhem that results from the right combinations of upgrades. That’s that core Mythic Protocol Rogue-lite shooter feel we want to showcase here.” Kristian added.

Several of the most prominent gaming content creators including Bltzr.gg, Anak Tua, Player Dua, and World of Rizki among others have given their thoughts on the game. “Controls are smooth, and it’s fun to play both with mouse and keyboard, as well as controllers. The game is so fun to play with and brings back similar feelings as if playing Hades, the thrills of trying to find the right combination of skills and the perfect build to win the game.” Rizki from World of Rizki commented on the game.
Alongside the public release of the pre-alpha playtest, Mythic Protocol has also added contests to ignite competition between groups and individuals alike, with prizes for the community members to grab. Soni Ardiyanto, the Content Director at Mythic Protocol stated “We know, as gamers ourself, that competing with fellow gamers, and showcasing our skills to the public is what makes a game even more fun. This is especially true in the rogue-lite and action RPG genre, where we encourage players to team up and basically compete with others to complete the game fastest and for some, most gracefully.”
