Talystro is a roguelike deckbuilder that combines math with RPG action, coming soon

Talystro, a captivating roguelike deckbuilder and third-place winner of our Big Indie Pitch, is poised to redefine the genre. This innovative game cleverly blends dice and deck mechanics, creating a unique gameplay experience where you build scores to vanquish math-based enemies. Embark on an epic adventure as the math mouse, striving to overthrow the nefarious Necrodicer.

For those familiar with Pocket Gamer Connects, you'll know our parent company's commitment to showcasing groundbreaking indie titles through the Big Indie Pitch. Talystro immediately stood out, distinguishing itself from the plethora of deckbuilding roguelikes currently available. Its ingenious combination of cards and dice sets it apart. As the math mouse, you'll confront number-based monsters, strategically combining dice and cards to reach target numbers and eliminate them. Resource management is key, as you're limited in the number of dice per turn.

Talystro boasts a charming aesthetic, blending rubber hose-style animation with a fantasy setting, reminiscent of classic math-focused educational games. While the math involved remains accessible, the gameplay is surprisingly engaging and easily grasped.

Launching in March, Talystro's blend of simple-to-understand yet challenging mechanics—a balance often missed in deckbuilders—promises broad appeal. Before its release, check out our latest list of top five new mobile games to keep you entertained in the meantime!
