description Peglin Overview

Peglin is a pachinko-based roguelike game developed by Red Nexus Games. The gameplay merges the physics of Peggle with turn-based RPG combat, where players shoot orbs into a board filled with pegs to determine their attack damage against fantasy enemies. Players assume the role of a goblin seeking to recover stolen bingo balls from dragons. Since its launch into early access, the game has incorporated a map-based progression system where players choose paths to battle enemies, acquire new orbs, upgrade relics, and build synergistic combinations.

help Peglin FAQ

How does Peglin combine pachinko with RPG combat?

You fire an orb into a peg board, and the pegs it hits determine damage, effects, and resource gains against fantasy enemies. The result is a turn-based combat system where aiming and board physics shape each attack.

What is the player character trying to do in Peglin?

Peglin follows a goblin fighting through a fantasy world after dragons steal its treasure. Each run involves choosing paths, collecting orbs and relics, and trying to survive increasingly difficult encounters.

When did Peglin leave Early Access?

Peglin entered Steam Early Access in 2022 and reached its 1.0 release on August 27, 2024. Red Nexus Games continued expanding the game after launch with additional content.

Is Peglin more like Peggle or a deck-building roguelike?

Its board physics clearly draw from Peggle, but its structure is closer to a roguelike deck-builder because orb choices, relics, routes, and run-to-run upgrades matter. Red Nexus Games describes the core idea as pachinko-based combat rather than a traditional match or puzzle game.
