Coming from developer Filiokus, Talystro is a roguelite deckbuilder where you need maths to win. If you want to win, prepare to think differently about combat since numbers are your greatest weapon. The game’s demo is now live, and you can check for yourself if you have what it takes!
In Talystro, combat isn’t about slowly chipping away at enemy health. Instead, players must match the exact value of their enemies to defeat them instantly. Each card contains unfinished calculations, variables and modifiers, while dice rolls dynamically shape the possibilities available each turn. Combine dice rolls, cards and creative arithmetics to stand against the evil Necrodicer and an army of corrupted numbers brought to life.
“Talystro is built on our belief that mathematics is fundamentally creative,” said Martin Lothe Sæterdal of Filiokus. “With this demo, we’re inviting players to experiment, adapt, and discover the beauty of problem-solving through play. The best feedback we’ve received so far? ‘This is the most fun I have ever had doing math.’”
