Roguelikes are in fashion. It’s not just that God of War and The Last of Us have given in to pressure and included roguelike modes<\/a>, but that more and more games of the genre are appearing, more regularly, gaining public exposure. And it’s normal. Roguelikes – games where after each defeat we have to start from scratch, having to make the most of all our acquired knowledge – are pure video games<\/strong>. A genre impossible in any other medium. Although they can draw from outside it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

That’s what happened with the latest unexpected hit in the gaming world, Balatro. Taking the foundations of poker, it creates a progression system similar to other card-based roguelikes, such as Slay The Spire<\/strong>. We use a classic poker deck, except for the jokers, and we have two counters: one for points, where each card gives as many points as its value to add to our hand’s value, and one for multiplier, where the rarer the hand, the more potentially multiplied points the cards we play will have, in order to achieve an objective. The blinds start at 350 and go up to 100,000. It’s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simplicity of this base is what makes everything around it accessible to anyone. Because throughout the game we can obtain different types of cards, which will change the way we play<\/strong>. Jokers change the amount of points or multipliers we receive on certain cards or hands. Planet cards enhance a type of hand that we can play. And tarot cards enhance our specific cards with various effects. Including changing their value or the color of the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
