After the city of Ballbylon is destroyed, treasure hunters descend into a monster-filled pit to seek its scattered riches. Choose a hero and use bouncing balls to break through advancing enemies and obstacles.
During each run, collect experience and choose new balls or passive upgrades. Level up and combine balls to fuse their effects or evolve them into new attacks, while adapting to different heroes, enemy regions, hazards, and bosses.
Between runs, gather resources and blueprints to rebuild New Ballbylon. Place buildings to gain bonuses, unlock heroes and upgrades, and develop the settlement so it can support deeper dives into the pit.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the quick, repeatable runs and the excitement of discovering ball fusions and combinations that reshape a build. They also praise the varied hero abilities and the settlement-building loop between dives. Some say the experience becomes repetitive later, with repeated levels and long-term progression reducing the challenge or making resource management feel tedious.
BALL x PIT is a fast-paced fantasy roguelite where heroes must find the balls to plunge deeper into a seemingly bottomless pit of monsters. Develop arcane ammunition and resources in pursuit of treasure, recruiting additional heroes to aid you in your perilous quest.
Ballbylon has fallen. After a meteoric and completely unexpected event annihilated the great city, all that remains is an ominous, yawning pit. Treasure hunters from far and wide flock to the city’s tomb to seek their fortune, plumbing the depths in search of Ballbylon’s scattered riches. Few return.
The pit plays host to armies of barbaric creatures, hellbent on ending your quest before it even begins. Armed with a growing arsenal of magic-infused projectiles, batter your way through multiple levels of increasingly challenging obstacles to claim the ultimate prizes and rebuild New Ballbylon.
The Ball Fusion system encourages explosive experimentation with over 60 randomized balls to equip and combine during your journey. Discover overpowered combinations and unexpected synergies from hundreds of possible outcomes.
Expand New Ballbylon with over 70 unique buildings that provide gameplay bonuses and unlock further power-ups, new characters, and more! As your community grows, task homebound heroes with automated tasks to keep the resources coming while you dive deeper into the pit.
Face legions of diverse enemies within the pit, battling through barren deserts, frozen caverns, savage forests and more. Each region offers its own unique set of hazards on top of hordes of increasingly challenging foes and mighty, screen-filling bosses.
As you explore the pit you’ll encounter fellow treasure hunters eager to add their skills to your expedition. Each character has unique, upgradable mechanics that totally change the way you play the game. Experimentation and adaptation are crucial to the success of New Ballbylon!
