Talystro: The Dice-Driven Deckbuilder That Crunched Numbers at Our Big Indie Pitch
As proud organizers of Pocket Gamer Connects' Big Indie Pitch competition, we're excited to spotlight Talystro - our third-place winner that blends strategic cardplay with mathematical dice mechanics in unexpectedly brilliant ways.
Numbers Become Your Weapons
At first glance, Talystro might resemble typical deckbuilding roguelikes flooding the market. But its ingenious fusion of cards and dice mechanics creates refreshing strategic depth. You'll embody the courageous Math Mouse battling numerical foes to overthrow the sinister Necrodicer.
The core gameplay challenges players to:
- Combine cards and dice rolls tactically
- Hit exact numerical targets to defeat enemies
- Manage limited dice resources per turn
Its charming rubber-hose animation style recalls nostalgic educational games, though the mathematics required remain deliberately accessible.
Why Talystro Stands Out
Scheduled for March release, Talystro demonstrates that perfect "easy to learn, hard to master" balance many deckbuilders struggle to achieve. The simple numerical premise hides surprising strategic complexity that captivated our judges.
