First quick look at the free demo (steam) of a new pachinko-styled deckbuilder; Peglin! Due for release in 2021, developed and published by Red Nexus. You shoot pachinko balls with set stats, dmg and crit dmg, many of which have weird and wacky effects into a board with multiple different pegs. For every peg you hit you deal dmg (multiplier depending on the pachinko ball in your deck). Aim for crit pegs to deal more dmg per peg as well as a refresh peg that repopulates the board, raising your potential dmg output. This dmg then equates to enemy health loss in a little rpg like battler. Your goal is to kill the enemies before they reach you and start whacking you! There are some really neat little rogue-like/deckbuilder elements where you can gain artifacts that modify the effects of the game (e.g. refresh pegs also count as crit pegs). Balls can also be upgraded to power up their effect and you can mill 1 per turn so you can get to your power balls faster. Another really interesting mechanic that I wish the game will explore more is that you choose your path by firing your pachinko ball into the well you desire. I think more pegs blocking the wells could be nice to add a little skill element to the game which if you fail may result in you going down a wrong pathway! There are also event tiles on the pathway, which make the player make decisions, do I want this fireball and take 10% loss of HP or do I take a 2% loss and not gain the ball? If you've played and loved Peggle in the past - you will 100% Andolono guaranteed love this game. My co-host Milli the house cat gives this 4 beans out of 4 so far. ;)
