Talystro: A Roguelike Deckbuilder That's All About Math

Talystro, a unique roguelike deckbuilder, recently secured third place in our Big Indie Pitch competition. This innovative game blends dice and card mechanics, challenging players to strategically build scores and defeat number-based enemies. You play as a math-wielding mouse on a quest to overthrow the villainous Necrodicer.

While initially appearing similar to other deckbuilding roguelikes, Talystro's clever combination of dice and cards sets it apart. Players manipulate dice and cards to create target numbers, eliminating monsters represented by specific numerical values. Resource management is key, as each turn offers a limited number of dice.

The game's visual style is a charming blend of flexible animation and fantasy elements, reminiscent of educational math games. While the math involved remains accessible, the gameplay is surprisingly engaging and intuitive.

Talystro's March release is highly anticipated. Its simple-to-learn-but-hard-to-master design, a common pitfall for many deckbuilders, promises a captivating experience.
