Talystro: New Roguelike Deckbuilder Blends Math and RPG Action, Coming Soon

If you've been keeping up with us, you're likely familiar with our parent company's event, Pocket Gamer Connects. A highlight of this event is the Big Indie Pitch, where we showcase innovative indie games to a panel of judges. Today, we're excited to spotlight Talystro, a third-place winner and a math-battling roguelike that's caught our attention.

At first glance, Talystro might blend in with the popular genre of deckbuilding roguelikes. However, a closer look reveals why it stood out. This game ingeniously mixes cards and dice, allowing you to play as the math mouse on a mission to overthrow the evil Necrodicer. The gameplay revolves around combining dice and cards to reach a target number, effectively eliminating number-based monsters. But remember, you're limited to a certain number of dice per turn, adding a strategic layer to the game.

Crypt of the NecrodicerTalystro boasts a unique visual style, blending rubber hose animation with a fantasy aesthetic reminiscent of educational math games from your childhood. While it sticks to basic math, the gameplay is both captivating and easy to pick up.

Set for release in March, Talystro promises a simple yet challenging format that many deckbuilders struggle to perfect. This balance is likely to be a major draw for players.
