DESCRIPTION
Paris Transylvania is a turn-based vampire-slaying roguelike deckbuilder with arcade nostalgia and peg-popping elements!
Play as one of the unlikely heroes and collect a powerful deck of cards, strategize, aim, and pop pegs to power up and deal massive damage with relic synergies. Explore and conquer Transylvania, defeat the vampires and free the people in this turn-based RPG.
Key Features
Dynamic Deck Building: Create a unique deck by choosing cards wisely.
Pachinko-style Gameplay: Strategize, aim and pop pegs to power up your cards.
Powerful Relics: Uncover game-changing relics throughout the world to enhance your deck.
Ever-Changing Transylvania: Maps change with each journey. Choose paths, face different enemies, encounter random events, and confront various bosses with arcade minigames.
Paris Transylvania features a nostalgic cartoony art style mixed with retro elements, blending Peggle, Peglin and Slay The Spire mechanics with a fresh twist in both format and 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.
