I am not good at “math” unless it has a $ in front of it and even then I use a calculator and its more about understanding costs of quanitity versus quality and quantification. I also never got into table top card games like Pokemon, Yugioh or Magic. I have played my share of TTRPGS, love card games and have done my share of craps which I enjoy. The thing I do like about those rpg competetive card games is the art and design, but the large amount of rules and strategies bog me down even though I know others absolutely thrive in it. In terms of modern video game card games I like many also truly enjoyed Balastro and thought it was a great entry point to have other games like it to take a twist on the entire genre and make stuff that was new, exciting and different and had the ability to reach many players if not all.
Take that entire paragraph and distill into a game and you’ve got Talystro. Now, I SUCK at this game. I explained why, but I know many of my friends and many gamers would LOVE it. I don’t know when it comes out, but you really should go WISHlist it today. I feel the two screen shots I have posted in this mini-review actually sell the game even better than I can. I mean I could shoot a video of me playing that would end up looking like those horrible mobile ads where the player seems to make ALL the wrong moves in an attempt to make you go “the game can’t be that hard, they just had an idiot play for the ad”… but the difference would be I hired myself, the game might be that hard and I might be an idiot. So what you should instead do is trust that despite me sucking I still want to reccomend the game cause of the art, concept and style and that you should get to Steam today and keep your eyes out.
