About this game
Talystro is a roguelite dice-and-deckbuilder whit a mathematical twist. The Necrodicer has started the forbidden ritual of Talystro, twisting the very math of the universe to her wicked will. Face off against a horde of numerical underlings, before taking on the Necrodicer herself.
Match your Enemy
Instead of chipping away at your enemy's HP, you'll instead try and match their value to instantly take them out. Your cards contain one or more unfinished calculations and you'll use your dice to complete them.
Outnumbered
Each encounter will have you face off against multiple numerical adversaries, twisted and turned by the dark magic of Talystro. It's up to you to determine how to best deal with them and in what order!
Weapons of Choice
Collect, upgrade and enchant your cards. As your enemies grow in value (and numbers!), finding cards to give you the flexibility to deal with them will be key. The calculations on your cards often refer to variables, like the number of dice for instance; Since these variables change during the round, the order of operations will be important -- countless possibilities and room for optimization! The cards can also contain various triggers, modifiers and spell effects.
The Crossroads
At the Crossroads you'll get to choose your next combat encounter and its associated rewards. Find the right balance of risk versus rewards and spend your gold wisely at the shops. The game will feature three acts with a set of levels leading up to a boss fight.
Our Quest
We're hoping to release Talystro in Early Access later this year. Please check back for updates!
