Talystro: Math Meets RPG in New Roguelike Deckbuilder Coming Soon

If you've been keeping up with us, you're likely familiar with our parent company's event, Pocket Gamer Connects. One of our highlights at these events is the Big Indie Pitch, where we showcase groundbreaking indie games to a panel of judges. Today, we're shining a spotlight on Talystro, a standout third-place winner that blends roguelike deckbuilding with math-based combat.

At first glance, Talystro might blend into the crowded deckbuilding roguelike genre. However, a closer look reveals its unique charm. In Talystro, you step into the shoes of the math mouse, embarking on a quest to overthrow the nefarious Necrodicer by battling numerical monsters.

So, how does it play? Talystro ingeniously combines dice and cards. Your goal is to hit a target number by rolling dice and using cards to defeat enemies, each represented by a specific number. Be strategic, though, as you're limited to a certain number of dice rolls per turn.

Talystro is slated for release in March, and its simple yet deep mechanics promise to captivate fans of deckbuilders. This game strikes the perfect balance of being easy to understand but difficult to master—a formula many deckbuilders struggle to achieve.
