This is released in the UK on the 1/5/2025 and in the UK is priced at £15,99.
INTRODUCTION
Peglin is a pachinko roguelike where no two runs are the same and fight monsters, acquire relics.
FEATURES

FAN ART
Enemies all have own look and own attacks to learn.
Choices are cool as not all straightforward such as taking fireballs that damage you but offer bonuses and alot of different choices are fun.
Power ups are cool as alot of them and all have own look and feel to them and can be upgraded offering even more bonuses to them.
Easy to pick up and play and easy to understand.
Fast paced combat is fun.
Art style is nice and detailed.
Can be frustrating as sometimes feels like you are set to fail.
Easy fail as once you have shot your ball is very RNG based on how many times it bounces or hits certain spots or where it ends up.
Can be daunting as alot to learn in sense or alot of the orbs have certain conditions or certain spots you need to hit to get best amount of damage from them.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall enemies have own look and own attacks with cool choices that offer own rewards with loads of power ups that can be upgraded and have own look and feel to them and has a nice easy to pick up and play with fast combat and a nice detailed art style. However for £15.99, can be frustrating as sometimes feels like you are set up to fail and no direct control after you shoot the ball as at the mercy of RNG regarding amount of bounces or position it goes and can be daunting as alot to learn as alot of the power ups require you to hit certain objects to get best results from them.

Can be frustrating as sometimes feels like set to fail.
