About

Balatro is an indie card game developed by LocalThunk and published by Playstack that was released on February 20, 2024. This title functions as a poker roguelike where players construct powerful synergies using valid hands and unique Joker cards. The gameplay loop involves earning chips to overcome devious blinds while uncovering hidden bonus hands and decks during progression. Players must gather every possible edge to reach the boss blind, defeat the final ante, and secure victory in this strategy experience. The single-player campaign offers a total of six hours for the main story, which can extend to thirty-one hours when including extras. A completionist playthrough requires approximately one hundred fifteen hours to finish all available content. The game includes eight difficulty levels alongside challenge runs, daily modes, and seeded sessions for varied replayability. Users can deploy various tools such as different decks, Jokers, Tarot cards, Planet cards, Spectral cards, and Vouchers throughout their run. Every pickup, discard, and joker selection has the potential to dramatically alter the course of a session in this casual simulation.

A roguelike deckbuilder debut already worth of joining Slay the Spire and Monster Train at the King's table. Essential.

Balatro is an ingenious and entertaining roguelike and one of my favorite games of the year. Playing it has become a near-obsession; everything feels perfectly designed to encourage you to keep trying because that next run could be the run of your life. Even after hours of play, I still can’t overcome Balatro’s biggest challenge: putting it down.
