One of such takes on differentiating pinball is Rollers of the Realm. Developed by Atlus, this is a game which has the mechanics of normal pinball at its core, with a ball and two flippers to keep it into play, but shifts the arena from a normal and still background to a playground rich of items and enemies
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.
