Rollers of the Realm: Reunion Announced by Phantom Compass

Great news for fans of the cult classic role-playing pinball puzzle game, Rollers of the Realm, as Phantom Compass just announced the second installment. Titled Rollers of the Realm: Reunion, it promises to combine the same explosive pinball action and rousing fantasy role-playing that made the original such a treat to play. Players can also expect challenging physics puzzles along with platforming adventures.

Rollers of the Realm: Reunion is set for release on PC in 2022 and will feature easy-to-learn controls that allow players to navigate an adventure-filled game world inspired by classic pinball cabinets. The game is based around a clever spin on pinball and sees the ball feature attributes similar to a traditional RPG character. For example, if playing as a Rogue and her faithful hound, a small and fast ball will be used while the massive Knight ball can bash town guards and otherworldly monsters with ease instead of having to “sneak” around.

Rollers of the Realm: Reunion can be played alone, or players can team up with a friend as they search for powerful ancient artifacts, sweet gear upgrades, and NPC allies, all while trying to save the world from certain doom. Since the storyline and character progression take place across scenic pinball playfields, this game is definitely not a turn-based affair. Instead, players are required to flip, dash and nudge their way through every battle or maze to become a hero of legend. Hot-swapping heroes will be a must as each of the balls representing each character have distinct gameplay modifiers in the form of sizes, stats, and “specials.”

Tony Walsh, CEO and Creative Director at Phantom Compass, stated how tough it was to keep Rollers of the Realm: Reunion a secret. He also expressed how proud they are of the first game and that the sequel will be taking each successful beat of the original one step further.
