"There’s a genre I never expected myself to play in video games, and that’s a combination of Adventure/Role-Playing Games and Pinball. Yeah. So, when Rollers of the Realm came rolling around, I geared up my flippers, my renaissance fair hat and my ninja-like reflexes and went to town. Ye olde town, that is.
Rollers plays like both of the genres you know, and it does so very well. The pinball mechanics are solid, and the controls are incredibly simple; Space Bar launches your ball of choice (more on this in a minute) and the A and L keys move the left and right flippers, respectively. You can also use the S and K keys to slide your ball to either side."
Indie developers Phantom Compass have released a new dev video for "Rollers of the Realm: Reunion" explaining the mashup mechanics of a pinball RPG.
Rollers of the Realm Reunion, the second instalment in the 'Rollers' series has been announced for 2022 for PC.
Excerpt - The gameplay mechanics are your typical video game pinball: flippers, bumpers, teleport holes, rails, etc. What makes it different is that each character in your party is represented by one of your balls on the table. Each ball has its own specialty. The Rogue has the ability to steal gold from characters on the table and does "backstab" damage to enemies.
