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, allowing you to strategically build scores and conquer math-based enemies. Embody the courageous math mouse and embark on challenging runs 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, differentiating itself from the crowded deckbuilding roguelike landscape. Its unique blend of cards and dice creates a fresh, engaging experience. As the math mouse, you'll battle number-based monsters, strategically combining dice and cards to reach target numbers and eliminate your foes. Resource management is key, as you have a limited number of dice per turn.

Talystro boasts a charming visual style, merging rubber hose animation with a fantasy aesthetic reminiscent of classic math-focused educational games. While the mathematical challenges remain accessible, the gameplay is surprisingly captivating and intuitive.

Talystro's March release is highly anticipated. Its simple-to-learn-yet-hard-to-master gameplay, a crucial element often overlooked in deckbuilders, promises to be a major draw. While you eagerly await its arrival, explore our latest list of top five new mobile games to enjoy in the meantime!
