If you've been following us for a while, you're likely familiar with our parent company's event, Pocket Gamer Connects. One of our highlights is the Big Indie Pitch, where we showcase innovative indie games to a panel of judges. Today, we're spotlighting a standout runner-up that caught our attention: the math-battling roguelike, Talystro!

At first glance, Talystro might blend in with the crowd of deckbuilding roguelikes, a genre that's currently thriving. However, a closer look reveals what sets it apart. In Talystro, you step into the shoes of the math mouse, embarking on a quest to overthrow the evil Necrodicer by battling number-based monsters. The game ingeniously combines cards and dice mechanics, challenging you to reach a target number to defeat these numeric foes. Be mindful, though, as you're limited to a certain 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 it sticks to basic, entry-level mathematics, the gameplay remains captivating and easy to understand at a glance.

Scheduled for release in March, Talystro promises a simple yet challenging gameplay experience that many deckbuilders struggle to achieve. This balance is what we believe will captivate players upon its launch.
