Balter Posted April 11, 2025 Share Posted April 11, 2025 Unlike how many other games that does these sponsorships with Jimmy game Klei instead internally coded a simplistic version of it into their game. This is genius, by putting it within their game players will have to play it or learn it because of their innate curiosity and this will indirectly teach players how to play Balatro. I say this because it worked on me.

Radicaljoe Posted April 11, 2025 Share Posted April 11, 2025 It is genius because it allowed us to see Wormwood in a jester hat, and that's awesome. On a real note, it's actually really cool because now we have playing cards and can play real card games in DST with our friends.

Mike23Ua Posted April 11, 2025 Share Posted April 11, 2025 The only thing that really frustrates me about the DSTs crossovers is that everything it has crossed over with has been a RogueLite type of game, and DST isn’t really a RogueLite.. i guess DS Was (adventures mode), But honestly I’m not even sure what to call DST, it’s the least RogueLite of all RogueLites out there…? Baltaro is more RogueLite than DST ironically. At this point I’m surprised Klei hasn’t attempted a Crossover with Deadcells, or the lesser known (Deadcells like) Trinity Fusion.

Wawchik Posted April 11, 2025 Share Posted April 11, 2025 Or it'll be the opposite and players just won't want to interact with that machine.

Would you call Terraria a roguelite? I think it's just about crossing over with willing indie devs and a lot of the big indie games are roguelite/roguelikes (spelunky, dead cells, hades, enter the gungeon, binding of Isaac are some more off the top of my head) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/165300-why-the-balatro-implementation-is-a-marketing-genius/#findComment-1811894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovens Posted April 12, 2025 Share Posted April 12, 2025 Can someone please explain how does it work? I have played poker before and I don't understand still what is considered my hand here and is joker I choose also a part of my hand when I pick it. There are cards on the ground that I pick up by the structure. But then if I open the joker structure interface I can no longer see my inventory and therefore the cards in it. Am I supposed to memorise them? In all poker versions I played you are always allowed to see your hand. If I lose, the card objects stay the same again so do I have to continue and try again with the same hand? It's all super confusing.

If you examínate the structure you get a explanation in the scrapbook The cards are simply to use them as decoration or to play cards with other players or a solitaire in-game.

Lovens Posted April 12, 2025 Share Posted April 12, 2025 @Edible Coal @WilsonHiggs Thanks, it now makes sense! I was trying to make combinations with the cards I picked up and wondering why is it not working haha. They should've explained the rules in the help section of the structure that lists combinations.
