New Trailer Explains the RPG Part of Pinball RPG in Rollers of the Realm: Reunion

So far, the folks at Phantom Compass have revealed a lot about the “pinball” part of their medieval pinball-meets-RPG mash-up, Rollers of the Realm: Reunion, detailing explorative pinball, combat pinball, pinball platforming, and most recently, stealth pinball. Now, it’s finally time to explore the RPG side of the equation, and how the development team is building off of the foundation laid in 2014 with the original Rollers of the Realm.

This time around, the roster of playable hero balls is five: the Knight, Mage, Rogue, Healer, and Goblin Prince. While this is fewer characters than in the original game, several factors — like personal and party stats, equipment and item options, and hero traits — make the roster deeply customizable to suit a number of playstyles, and make every hero feel essential in their own way.

Players can select up to three balls at any given time, and the combination of heroes will affect the party’s stats. These stats can provide a number of benefits, such as increased mana collection or luck, which cause abilities to occasionally be used without consuming mana. On top of this, each hero ball’s base personal stats can be enhanced via a series of upgrade categories.

These categories are Ability, Dash, Weapon, Armor, and Item. Ability represents each hero’s unique power, Dash and Weapon focus on offensive stats, Armour focuses on defensive stats, while the Item category is more varied, having elements of both. Each category has three different types of upgrades to choose from, offering unique benefits and allowing for varied playstyles for individual heroes.

Finally, each hero has two traits that define their class characteristics. The Knight, for instance, has the Smash trait which increases his damage dealt to breakable objects.

All of these factors create a deeply customizable RPG with complex upgrade paths and varied playstyles. There’s no single way to become a legend; how players rise up to pinball greatness is up to them.

About Rollers of the Realm: Reunion:

The successor to 2014’s Rollers of the Realm, Reunion expands and improves upon its predecessor’s medieval questing and bombastic pinball arcade action with a new campaign storyline, loads of party and hero customization options, competitive leaderboards, and even a two-player cooperative mode! Players are invited to plunge into a medieval fantasy world where battling creepy goblins or tentacled beasts means warming up your flipper-fingers and using RPG-styled “character” balls to smash through or sneak around your foes, traps, and targets.

Key Features of Rollers of the Realm: Reunion:

  • An Unlikely Fellowship: Classic flipper-focused pinball meets rich role-playing in a mashup sure to tickle the fancy of both pinball enthusiasts and RPG fans alike
  • Baller Companions: Choose from four different pinball heroes including the Knight, Mage, Rogue, and Healer with each offering distinct physics modifiers, ball sizes, and upgradeable gear
  • Dungeon Master: Personalize the party’s progression through stats and equipment to best suit the trials ahead. Perhaps unleashing powerful magical abilities to weaken enemies as the Mage would be best before sending the Knight in?
  • There and Back Again: Overcome fearsome foes, labyrinthine mazes, and noggin’ scratching puzzles in a quest to conquer the 30+ missions and 24 playfields in a thrilling campaign mode
  • Two Heads are Better than One: No need to brave the long road ahead alone thanks to two-player cooperative play where each player controls a flipper

Rollers of the Realm: Reunion, will launch in 2022 on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
