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

If you've been following us for a while, you're likely familiar with our parent company's event, Pocket Gamer Connects. One of our highlights 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 unique math-battling roguelike that caught our attention.

At first glance, Talystro might blend in with the crowded deckbuilding roguelike genre, but a closer look reveals its distinctive charm. As you play as the math mouse, your mission is to depose the evil Necrodicer by battling number-based monsters. The game ingeniously combines dice and card mechanics, challenging you to reach target numbers to defeat your foes. Keep in mind, you'll have a limited number of dice per turn, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay.

Scheduled for release in March, Talystro promises a simple yet challenging experience that many deckbuilders struggle to achieve. Its blend of accessibility and depth is poised to captivate players.
