Talystro, a captivating roguelike deckbuilder and third-place winner of our Big Indie Pitch, is poised to redefine the genre. This unique game cleverly blends dice and deck mechanics, allowing players to strategize their way to victory against math-based enemies. Embodying the role of a courageous math mouse, you’ll embark on challenging runs to overthrow the villainous Necrodicer.
While initially appearing similar to other deckbuilding roguelikes, Talystro’s innovative gameplay sets it apart. The game’s core mechanic involves combining cards and dice to target and eliminate number-based monsters. Strategic planning is crucial, as each turn offers a limited number of dice.

Talystro boasts a charming visual style, blending rubber hose animation with a fantasy aesthetic, reminiscent of engaging math-based educational games. Despite its accessibility, the gameplay remains surprisingly enthralling, easily grasped yet offering a significant challenge. The simple yet effective math-based combat ensures a satisfying and strategic experience.
Launching in March, Talystro’s blend of simple-to-understand mechanics and challenging gameplay promises to captivate players. This expertly crafted balance, often missed in other deckbuilders, is a key strength.
