Story[]
Introduction[]
In ages long before the birth of the humans and Mobians, fantastic creatures with equally-fantastic powers collectively known as Mythics roamed the earth. For thousands of years, these mystical beings have thrived within the Earth, but the passage of time eventually led these fabled beings to seemingly disappear from the face of the planet. In truth, however, the merely hide themselves among the common people of modern society.
A certain group known only as the Genesis Corporation has only recently made its mark in the history of biological advancements and has since begun to delve deeper into the true nature of these creatures. Unfortunately, one of their latest test subjects has escaped, forcing them to take action and call for any and all capable to hunt the escapee down. However, there may be darker designs behind this seemingly-harmless call for assistance...

Gameplay[]
Gameplay Mechanics: Movement & Cancelling, Offense, Defense, Gauges, Attack Attributes
Clash of Mythics: Genesis is a one-on-one fighting game at its core, where two fighters battle one another in a two-dimensional arena. As with most fighting games, matches - by default - consist of a maximum of three rounds, two of which must be won by one fighter. Claiming victory in one round entails either depleting the opponent’s health to zero, or having more health than the opponent upon the timer reaching zero. Doing this twice, if using default settings, ensures victory in the whole match.
Meanwhile, the game's Story Mode is more akin to a visual novel, meaning it mostly consists of dialogue-centric scenarios. However, there are occasional spots of actual gameplay that may involve either a number of waves filled with AI-controlled enemies, a one-on-one match with another playable character, or a boss fight with either an EX version of a playable character or an NPC character.

Trivia[]
- Similar to its spiritual predecessor series, Darkness Trigger (series) - which Crimson is no longer involved with due to a disagreement, this game, as well as the series as a whole, takes heavy inspiration from games such as BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, both developed by Arc System Works.
- This time around, it also takes some elements from the recently-released Dragon Ball FighterZ, primarily in terms of its control scheme and some aspects of its gameplay.
