DESCRIPTION
A vampire-slaying pachinko roguelike deckbuilder. Collect a powerful deck of cards, strategize, aim, and pop pegs to power up and deal massive damage with relic synergies. Play as one of the unlikely heroes, conquer Transylvania, and free the people in this turn-based RPG.
Key Features
Deckbuilding – Collect and combine over 100 cards and relics to create powerful builds.
Pachinko Combat – Aim, bounce, and pop pegs to boost your attacks.
Relics & Combos – Discover synergies that can turn the tide of battle.
Changing Maps – Journey through three unique regions with randomized layouts, enemies, events, and bosses.
With a nostalgic cartoon art style and gothic twist, Paris Transylvania draws inspiration from Slay the Spire, Peggle, and Peglin, offering a fresh, arcade-style take on roguelike gameplay.
UNIQUENESS
It’s a genre-blending roguelike that combines deckbuilding with pachinko-style physics, creating a dynamic mix of strategy, skill, and dice-roll-like randomness. The game stands out by embracing both structured planning and chaotic fun, drawing from retro arcade energy and modern roguelike depth.
“A core idea is that I'm a big fan of multiple game genres, so PT mixes freely and allows all odd ideas, as long as they are adding to the game play. Tribute details to old movies, or old computer games are frequent. Building on common themes and genre tropes, then adding a lot of personal flair to the pot. The game play mix of planning, player freedom, and real time quick decisions, merges deck building and retro arcade games,” says Ola Persson, Lead Developer, Game Designer & Creator.
