Talystro, a roguelike deckbuilder and third-place winner of our Big Indie Pitch, is poised to shake up the mobile gaming scene. This unique title cleverly blends dice and deck mechanics, creating a fresh take on the popular genre. Your mission? As the math-wielding mouse, you'll battle number-based enemies in a quest to overthrow the villainous Necrodicer.
While initially resembling other deckbuilders, Talystro quickly distinguishes itself. The innovative combination of cards and dice forms the core gameplay loop. You'll strategically manipulate dice to reach target numbers, eliminating monsters represented by those very numbers. Resource management is key, as you have a limited number of dice per turn.

Talystro boasts a charming visual style, blending rubber hose animation with a fantasy aesthetic, reminiscent of those engaging math games from childhood. Despite its approachable math concepts, the gameplay is surprisingly captivating and easy to pick up. The game's simple-to-learn-but-hard-to-master design—a frequent pitfall for deckbuilders—is a major strength.
Launching in March, Talystro's unique blend of strategy and charming visuals promises an addictive experience. While you eagerly await its arrival, why not explore our latest list of top five new mobile games to keep you entertained in the meantime?
