About the story
The dragons have been popping peglins and stealing all of your gold for as long as you can remember. Enough is enough. It's time to venture through the woods, conquer the fortress, and delve into the heart of the dragon's lair to take back what's yours and teach those dragons a lesson. Peglin plays like a combination of Peggle and Slay the Spire. The enemies are tough, and if you're defeated your run is over, but you've got powerful orbs with special effects and incredible relics that influence both your enemies and the physics you'll use to defeat them.

Critic Reviews

By Willem HilhorstThe barrier of entry is a tad high for my taste, but once the orb got rolling I couldn't get myself to stop. In the end Peglin feels like one of those great background games, that I can see players picking up again and again. I can't look ahead in my crystal ball, but I foresee that Peglin may just stick around for quite some time.

By A.J. MaciejewskiAlthough it isn't as flashy as its inspirations, Peglin provides an enjoyable roguelike formula that makes fighting monsters entertaining.

By Alex KidmanVisually, the pixel art style works well enough, and it helps on the Switch not being that complex a title so load times are minimal. Because your foes only respond after your attacks, there’s always time to stop and plan out shots around how each orb’s power works – once you wrap your head around that – and so it’s a pretty easy drop-in-drop out kind of game. Not everything needs to be a 100+ hour epic, you know?

By Lyle PendlePeglin is the blend of Peggle and Roguelike I never knew I needed, but the luck factor and repeating layouts let it down a little.
Gaming Nexus
By Elliot HilderbrandThere's nothing crazy about Peglin. The game is straightforward but still offers plenty of twists the further into your game session you manage to get. This is one of those no two rounds are the same games, a staple in roguelight titles I have come to enjoy. The better you become at playing Peglin the longer those sessions tend to become. I don't daydream about Peglin, which is to say the worst thing I can think about Peglin; it's there, it's fun, but I don't feel much of a sense of accomplishment once I move onto something else.
