Fans will be happy to hear that the second installment of Phantom Compass’ much-loved ‘Rollers’ series will be released on PC in 2022. Rollers of the Realm: Reunion will combine pinball action with fantasy RPG, challenging physics puzzles and platforming adventures in the same way as the original game, Rolls of the Empire, winner of GDC’s prestigious “Best in Play” award in 2014.
Rollers of the Realm: Reunion will put players in the role of a group of endearing characters as they navigate their way through mazes and physics-based puzzles. Players can go solo or team up with a friend to roll across the land in search of powerful ancient artifacts, collect equipment upgrades, and recruit NPC allies to save the world.
Each hero (represented by a ball) has its own specific gameplay modifiers, sizes, stats, and specials that make puzzle-solving and battle-solving much more tactical and dependent on hero switching. Rollers can take their heroes to the next level and take them on an epic journey through new worlds.
With:
- Classic pinball-based puzzles combined with role-playing character progression.
- Five different heroes, including the Knight, Mage, Rogue, Healer and the Goblin Prince, each with their own specific physics modifiers, special abilities and upgradeable gear.
- A new Quest system encourages helpful adventurers with rewards for good deeds.
- Brand new abilities, such as the ability to hot-swap your character during battle and time manipulation.
- Various levels including 2D side-scrolling, top-down stealth and puzzling mazes and labyrinths.
- A storyline set in more than 30 missions and 24 playing fields.
- Two player co-op for those who don’t want to travel alone.
“Keeping Rollers of the Realm: Reunion a secret was arguably the most difficult task of my career,” said Tony Walsh, CEO and Creative Director at Phantom Compass. “We are extremely proud of the first game, as it was a good balancing act to combine RPG mechanics with the many intricacies that make pinball so much fun. Given the great response from players over the years, I think we made it – and Rollers of the Realm: Reunion every successful beat goes one step further.”
Rollers of the Realm: Reunion coming to PC in 2022 via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
