Educational game developer Skills from Gaming announced new math-focused RPG adventure, Wizard of Maths, is out now on Android Google Play and iOS App Store, and arriving later this year on PC.
Judging by the trailer, the JRPG description is a bit loose; traveling along nodes with battles and events looks more like Slay the Spire than a traditional RPG.
Players battle through series of monsters by answering math questions on a timer. The educational game features multiple difficulties, and it’s not just for kids! It gets into some pretty complicated stuff that makes me break out in a sweat, like square roots, and multiple decimal-division.
Players will learn over 70 different mathematical tricks from best-selling math books. The game also includes a built-in editor to practice certain math tricks and problems.
“With nearly a decade spent crafting serious games for policy makers, engineers, scientists and the public, my journey took a truly personal turn when I noticed my own children struggling with primary school maths,” said Mehdi Khoury, designer at Skills from Gaming. “Determined to help, I set out to design a game at home — one that would make numbers less daunting and instill a sense of mathematical confidence not just in kids – but also with grown-ups. My aim was to prepare them to approach more advanced concepts, such as equations, with self-assurance, never feeling that mathematics was beyond their reach.”
Wizard of Maths is rated E for Everyone.
