Penglin is an absolute blast of a time! Being a roguelike it already had something going for it for me. It did a great job creating a unique experience. Did I mention it is basically a big game of pachinko? Ya, it sounds a lot weirder than it is but boy does the whole experience grow on you over time. It also has a deck building element as you have to pick and choose what orbs (weapons) to add and remove from your active pool. Moreover, there are tons of items to aid you in your journey which can be mixed and matched with the different builds that you can create. You can unlock more difficulties by completing previous ones that have modifiers to certain stats such as starting with less non-crit power etc. This game will likely be overlooked because of its higher price tag of $8.99. However, these people will be missing out on a truly unique and enjoyable experience. If I am not mistaken you can try out the first world for free but honestly, I do not feel like it does the game justice as you never get to see what a full build can look like.
Note: There was a notable bug (while playing on an android device) that sometimes caused me to discard orbs while aiming. This is not game breaking by any means but it is something to note and will hopefully be addressed in the future.

Peggle meets Slay the Spire in this quirky roguelike RPG
Peglin is a near-perfect blend of pinball and old-school roguelikes. Combat is turn-based, but instead of standard weapon attacks, you deal damage by shooting orbs at pegs. The higher your score, the more damage you'll unleash on your foes.
The concept is a simple one, but it's incredibly addictive, especially when the roguelikes come into play. Once you've successfully vanquished your opponents, you'll have the chance to purchase new orbs with special abilities. You can also upgrade your current orbs, gaining access to powerful abilities that will help you take out stronger enemies later on.

Peglin - A Pachinko Roguelike - A Quick Game Review
Peglin is a RPG puzzle pinball style adventure mobile game with very unique gameplay style compared to RPG games that I have played so far! Honestly, I was not much impressed by the pixel-type graphics that it presented at first but the gameplay got me hooked pretty quick to this game. The gameplay is quite a hybrid of pinball and turn based RPG game. At first the gameplay felt a bit weird but pretty soon, it became quite interesting and fun to play.

Fun and interesting take on the roguelike genre. Simple and easy to use but doesn't hold your hand at all. This game will pose a challenge to you, one way or another. Lots of fun content in one small package, and even comes with some mods that you can download and play all from within its own client. Long time player and I'll probably continue to play for a long time.
