Balatro, a card-based roguelike, will be released on iOS

The puzzle game Balatro, which has received excellent ratings on Steam, is being developed for the iOS operating system. This information was disclosed by the developer, LocalThunk, in an interview with the iMore website.

LocalThunk did not provide a specific release date or details about a possible Android version. The developer mentioned that the development for the mobile version of the game goes beyond the original version but did not provide concrete information about what that entails. It was indicated that the intention is to maintain the game without excessive additions, although new elements could be introduced in the future.

Balatro is a roguelike game that uses elements of cards and poker. Players must use their cards to form combinations and earn points, with higher-value hands providing more points and wild cards bringing advantages.

On PC, Balatro achieved significant sales and a good critical reception, with over 500,000 copies sold in ten days and a 90 rating on Metacritic. Now, the developer seeks to adapt the game for the iPhone audience and possibly for other devices.
