Peglin

You play as Peglin, setting out to reclaim gold stolen by dragons. The journey leads through the woods, a fortress, and the dragons’ lair, where monsters and bosses stand in your way.

Combat is turn-based: choose an enemy, aim an orb at a pegboard, and launch it. The pegs an orb strikes build its attack, while special pegs, potions, and bombs add ways to affect a shot.

Between battles, collect or choose orbs and relics, upgrade orbs, heal, and spend gold. Each run offers a changing map and a different mix of encounters and rewards; losing ends the run, while characters and higher difficulty levels offer further ways to play.

Players who enjoy Peglin often point to the unusual mix of peg-bouncing shots and roguelike build-making: choosing angles, watching shots chain through pegs, and combining orbs with relics can make a run feel rewarding. Some also like its approachable, pick-up-and-play sessions and charming presentation. Criticism recurs around the randomness and difficulty of later levels, as well as a limited set of areas that can make repeated runs feel similar.
