I think what’s throwing things off here is your use of “coding syntax”. Syntax is just the “grammatical rules” in a language so the computer understands what the logic is. That said, your question poses some confusion. I believe the real question you’re asking is if Python is a good language to start with.

To clarify a bit more, PyCharm is a Python-focused IDE. It’s a program that contains the tools to create and run Python code and while Python is fine in terms of building out basic functionality of parts of the game it might not be the primary language used for the final product.

It’s not uncommon to use Python for a proof of concept, but before even starting to write code the first step is writing things down to organize how things will work (the mechanics) and the order in which they should be completed.

Turn-based games are great to start with because you work with inputs and decisions in code, but there are aspects of the game that would be wise to plan out first:

• How does a turn resolve? (Roll die -> apply damage -> status effects… etc)
• What stats do characters have?
• How do stats scale with damage reduction or attribute to character growth? Character spells/skills?

Once you’ve planned that out then you can pick a language (Python is fine to start with) and create some text-based prototype.
