Eternal Pinball RPG

I have to write a review for this game, even if it's typically “unreviewable” again! But I will go into a little more detail! :) The special thing about this pinball game is that it runs in an ingenious combination with RPG elements, where you have a character, like in Diablo or Path of Exile (much less complex, of course, but that's totally fine!), and equip it with armor pieces. You get these during the game when you complete quests (of which these are triggered by triggering), or by leveling up. (Yes, you also have levels(*) that increase with XPs). In addition, you can also get different keys (bronze, silver and gold), which will take you to another pinball table ingame, where if you complete the given quests (always the same as the respective “key level”), you will also be rewarded with different items. Another aspect of this game is that you even have HP (Health Points) and you can lose them when you play against “opponents” in the game. However, you can replenish them with Heal Potions, which you can get in the game through quests, leveling, etc. There is also a “heal pool” in the pinball table that regenerates your HP. (*) There is another aspect that goes hand in hand …

I mostly enjoyed my time with this game but I have somewhat mixed feelings about some mechanics. The pinball gameplay feels pretty good, the balls have a weight to them and they are affected by physics and gravity. You can't repeat the exact same shot over and over again but your accuracy will improve over time. The game has quite a few different goals to aim for. You want to complete all collections, you want to get as many keys as possible and you want to complete quests to level up and find better gear. I dislike the RPG elements of the game, you can't do inventory management with a controller. You have to stop the gameflow frequently to use new keys, open chests or allocate stat points. Also some of the collections appear to be bugged as they didn't increase my stats after completing them. The items you find aren't interesting at all, they all just have stat points and you just equip the item with the most stats you want. Speaking about bugs, the multiball event has about a 20% chance to not function properly. Sometimes the event doesn't end if you just have 1 ball left, sometimes the event ends when you still have multiple balls, sometimes you have 0 balls left but the roun…

This game is incredibly fun! I am trying to go through a second time to see if I can do it faster, knowing what I learned the first time... like an RPG. There are some bugs, balls getting stuck or just disappearing, but that has not stopped me from playing it. The game really is a nice mix between pinball and an RPG- very clever!

Quite nice little game, good feeling physics, plenty of stuff on the board

it's a neat little genre mashup! some of the other reviews don't like the RPG elements, which is understandable as they make the score system totally meaningless, which is generally the appeal of a pinball game. if you approach this as just a relaxing thing to do rather than a score chaser, it's nice to just enjoy the realistic pinball physics, practice your shots, and enjoy the atmosphere and number-go-up though.

it's a fun game, you can upgrade stats, complete quests, use items and equipment..but there are some bugs that hopefully are worked on
