If you've been following us for a while, you're probably familiar with our parent company's event, Pocket Gamer Connects. One of the highlights 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 one of the standout runners-up, the math-battling roguelike, Talystro!
At first glance, Talystro might blend in with the sea of deckbuilding roguelikes that are currently flooding the market. However, a closer look reveals what sets it apart. This game ingeniously combines cards and dice, allowing you to play as the math mouse on a quest to overthrow the nefarious Necrodicer.
So, how does it work? In Talystro, you'll use a mix of dice and cards to create a target number, aiming to eliminate monsters represented by specific numbers. Be cautious, though, as you only have a limited number of dice rolls per turn.
Crypt of the NecrodicerTalystro boasts a unique blend of rubber hose-style animation and a fantasy aesthetic, reminiscent of those math-focused educational games from your childhood. While the game sticks to basic, entry-level mathematics, the gameplay remains captivating and intuitive, making it easy to dive right in.
Mark your calendars for March, as that's when Talystro is slated to launch. Its easy-to-learn yet challenging-to-master gameplay is what we believe will captivate players upon release. This is a trait that many deckbuilders struggle to achieve, but Talystro nails it perfectly.
While you eagerly await Talystro's arrival, why not explore our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week? It's a great way to keep yourself entertained in the meantime!
