Inside Rollers of the Realm: Reunion

What it is

Rollers of the Realm: Reunion—sequel to the winner of GDC’s prestigious “Best in Play” award in 2014—is a medieval-themed RPG featuring a clever spin on pinball where the ball features attributes similar to a traditional RPG character.

Rollers of the Realm: Reunion features easy-to-learn controls and an adventure-filled game world inspired by classic pinball cabinets. Players will bounce, flip, and dash through physics-based puzzles to progress the story while leveling up a party of misfit heroes on an epic journey to new worlds.

Each character is represented by a ball that offers distinct gameplay modifiers, sizes, stats, and “specials,”—making battles and puzzle-solving a tactical affair where hot-swapping heroes is a must. Sending in a knight to do a mage’s job might not be the smartest move!

The premise

Play as the Rogue and her faithful hound, as they, in the form of a small and fast ball, sneak and steal their way through and around challenges. Or load up the massive Knight ball and bash those town guards and otherworldly monsters! Players will roll throughout the land alone or with a friend in search of powerful ancient artifacts, sweet gear upgrades, and NPC allies in a quest to save the world from certain doom.

This is no turn-based affair, as the storyline and character progression take place across scenic pinball playfields! In order to become a hero of legend, players must flip, dash, and nudge their way through every battle or maze. “Pinheads” better brush up on magical incantations and learn to wield an array of awesome character abilities—there’s more than one realm that needs saving!
