This game is either "oh hell yea I'm doing absolutely great I can never die the build is so online right now" or "I have zero agency whatsoever and my only option is to just die start a new run I guess" and there's no in between. The lows are low but the highs are sooooooo high

A different kind of deckbuilder If you’re an avid gamer, you are most likely familiar with Slay the Spire, which popularized deckbuilding with roguelike elements. Peglin does to Peggle (a PopCap Games classic) what Slay the Spire did to Dominion (the card game). Peglin just reached 1.0 recently after a bit more than two years on Early Access, and now it’s a great time to join the fun you are a fan of games with randomized elements and high replayability. Strike your luck and take your chances I need to emphasize that this is a game that heavily relies on luck. Sure, there’s some strategy involved, but most of the time you’re at mercy of the RNG gods. If that doesn’t bother you, or you even like games like this (like I do), you’ll certainly enjoy Peglin. This is a game that is easy to discover if you will like it or not under two hours, so feel free to refund it if it ends up not being your cup of tea. Gameplay loop In total there are three different areas; each one with several levels. The main gameplay loop consists in basically throwing orbs and watching them collide with pegs while numbers increase and then the sum of those numbers are converted to the damage done to the monsters. It starts simple and straightforward, and as you progress you add different orbs that are wildly different - some can damage all enemies at once, while others are super bouncy, and there’s also orbs that heal you, increase your maximum health, etc. In each area there are levels with secrets, random events, shops and a final boss at the end. It feels like a different kind of dungeon crawler. Each successful run takes about one hour to complete when you are familiar with the game. Variety and replayability In total there are different areas (each one with their own theme, exclusive enemies and music) so far. Each area has a set of premade pegboards (the level layout) that rotates randomly on each playthrough. After some time you will start recognizing patterns, so when it comes to level layout, there’s little variety. In total there are only four classes, so not much variety there either. On the other hand, there are tons of different orbs (think of cards in Slay the Spire) and relics (trinkets), so discovering crazy combos that can even break the game is the driving factor of replaying Peglin. There are also New Game Plus modes too, called Cruciballs, that makes the game progressingly harder on each playthrough. What is super nice is that it’s also possible to create your own set of rules on Custom Mode. Conclusion Peglin is a great addition to the deckbuilding genre that certainly deserves your attention if you’re into games like Slay the Spire and/or games with heavy random elements. There’s also something super satisfying in how the game plays, which makes it super addictive. The game is super fun, although it might need more levels and areas variety to spice things up for it to reach the category of indie classic. The developers have said that there are more updates to come, so that’s great news. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy your time with Peglin as much as I do.

Yes I recommend but... I bought Peglin in Early Access about 2 years ago and LOVED it. I put 40 hours in then stopped playing before any big updates. I picked it back up months ago and wow a LOT of new orbs, bosses, enemies, characters and Cruciball (Challenge) levels were added. So much variability makes each run vastly different- great replay value! Unfortunately the more I played the more frustrating it became. Game play itself has become much more balanced, but the amount of RNG involved in completing achievements is stupid high. 70 additional hours and I'm s t r u g g l i n g for certain achievements. (Double egg I'm looking at you o.o) Do I love the game concept? 10/10 yes. It is nice to look at? Easy on the eyes for sure. Does RNG make each play through unique? Absolutely. Have I encountered any glitches? None. Would I buy this game at full price. Yes I would! Would I recommend this game to achievement hunters specifically? Not a chance.

Fun game but a bad rougelike. Has plenty of fun orb combos and interactions with items. I highly recommend to people who are fans of Peg games. 7/10 My beef with the game: The start of each run is by far the most boring, makes a disheartened me not want to continue. The uncertainty of navigation is a funny gimmick but is heavily outweighed with annoyance, a punishment is fine but that punishment of throwing my run isn't (especially with some of the boards). Certain encounters are just over if you get a bad refresh spawn. Slime boss is in the game just to make you rethink your choice of opening it (idc if there's a method I'm not aware of, that fight is antithetical to the entire concept of peg games). These issues might only be apparent on higher difficulties but if a rougelike doesn't feel fair/fun on higher difficulties (than what's the point) that's a big drawback for me.

I LOVE the idea behind this, but it makes one of the worst mistakes a roguelike can make: your fate is largely determined by RNG. The easiest way to get through this game is anything that increases your damage and anything that allows you to hit multiple enemies at once, but without those upgrades? 9/10 times your run through the game is destined to fail I recommend the game for the idea but ONLY if it's on sale
