You think you’ve seen it all, and then something like Peglin comes along. Revealed at Nintendo’s latest Indie World presentation, this so-called “pachinko roguelike” that also happens to be a turn-based RPG is out now on Switch, PC and macOS via Steam, iOS, and Android.
Peglin will run you $19.99 USD on Switch and Steam, while the first third of the game is free on iOS and Android. You’ll need to pay $8.99 to unlock the full experience on mobile.
Check out the trailer below.
Peglin Overview
In this roguelike pachinko-inspired RPG, you’re on a quest to take revenge on some gold-stealing dragons. Aim orbs and hit pegs to deal damage in turn-based battles. Collect and upgrade a variety of different orbs as you progress, each with its own powers. The pegs themselves can have peculiar properties too, and rare passive power-ups called relics also add a range of game-changing effects. Aiming carefully, and combining the effects of orbs, pegs and relics can lead to some spectacular combos! You’ll explore a new map on every run and successfully completing runs unlocks harder difficulty modes. Teach those dragons a lesson when Peglin bounces onto Nintendo Switch as a timed console exclusive later today.
That’s right, Peglin is a timed exclusive on consoles, so we might reasonably expect it to come elsewhere at some point. Here’s a little more about the game from the Steam description.
The dragons have been popping peglins and stealing all of your gold for as long as you can remember. Enough is enough. It’s time to venture through the woods, conquer the fortress, and delve into the heart of the dragon’s lair to take back what’s yours and teach those dragons a lesson.
Peglin plays like a combination of Peggle and Slay the Spire. The enemies are tough, and if you’re defeated your run is over, but you’ve got powerful orbs with special effects and incredible relics that influence both your enemies and the physics you’ll use to defeat them.
