Picture it: you’re on the pinball battlefield. You’re down to the very last of your flippers and the Rogue has become a captive ball. Goblins are closing in and you’re surrounded. Sweat pours down your brow as you pull back the plunger and launch the Healer pinball. Swiftly rolling down the ramp — collecting extra mana as you encroach on the attacking Goblins — you feel a burst of adrenaline as the extra mana surges through your veins and with great haste, you instantly swap your pinball from Healer to Mage and unleash a powerful barrage of magic upon the Goblins. And thus your victory is secure — thanks to your quick thinking and strategic use of hot-swapping.
Today, Phantom Compass is excited to show off the new hot-swapping mechanic introduced in their upcoming pinball-meets-RPG mash-up Rollers of the Realm: Reunion — the sequel to their smash-hit Rollers of the Realm.
In Reunion, a new mechanic allows players to select up to three playable-pinball heroes that they can alternate between at any time during battle. Each hero ball has unique physics, stats, and special abilities, creating interesting on-the-fly tactical choices. With the right strategic planning in advance, players can bring the pain or save their party and deal with any situation thrown at them.
