Rollers of the Realm

[Espy]

Just saw some E3 coverage of this game. A strange hybrid between a pinball game and an RPG. Something along the lines of the character you choose affects the size and properties of the ball you play with. Seems to be a large linked pinball environment instead of a single table.

As a pinball game it looks pretty bland (you can tell when a pinball game is made by someone who doesn't know much about it), but the way it combines genres may make it interesting.

I played the demo/beta, but either my computer is lamesauce or the demo wasn't optimized very well. Either way it has some moments, but not enough to make me want to play it again, well ... maybe if I get it in a humble bundle.

Something about this game at gameinformer:

http://www.gameinformer.com/games/r...of-the-realm-adds-puzzles-to-its-pinball.aspx

A new trailer can be found there as well - or here on YouTube:

Somehow it reminds me of the way some Zen tables are done. Not from a technical point of view, but the way Zen is using different playfields and trying to tell a story.

Not sure if it in the end turns out to be a fun game or just not good at being both, an RPG and a pinball game. At the moment I think the latter.

This game contains fantasy, violence and use of alcohol. Think about it.

Hm, epic quest from zen is an awesome fun and great to play table imo.
Rpg elements are very reduced, but they certainly add to the fun and replay value of the table.
This project seems to overdo a little in every aspect. Still interesting.
It will never be dark souls though

This is out now on PSN and Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/262470/). Anyone get it yet? I like Atlus' games so I'll probably pick this up, and the genre-blending looks interesting so I'm curious to see how it works out.

I was surprised this wasn't released on PS3 - just PS4 and vita - I would have probably picked this up as I tend to buy all things pinball...

 

[wolfson]

just bought it on steam,quite like it .a lot of fun,really different.i think everyone will enjoy this !!!

 

[FoxMcCloud]

The PC requirements are pretty low if you have Windows, but yeah I found it surprising as well to skip PS3.

Just did a video for this game on my channel:

No problem Da5id.

Ok went to check out rollers of the realm on steam and it looks like the requirements are for windows only. Can some one please explain steam for me? I thought it was a game emulator that hosted and played games and that it really didn't matter what OS i was using as long as I had steam installed. Right now it's just looking like a game manager and store front for PC games.

I prefer Orbals.

I never would have found this game, were it not for this thread. I usually only search "pinball." So thanks for that!

Its well worth the 10 bucks. I haven't really enjoyed an rpg in years, mainly because I get bored of the game mechanics, but the pinball fits it perfectly. Epic quest is my all time fav Zen Pinball table, so I naturally found this a fun game.

 

[Xanija]

Currently this is available in a humble bundle for $1 minimum.

 

[Pinhead]

Oh, this game. Voted to greenlight it on Steam, but completely forgot bout them afterwards.

Thanks for heads up, Xanija. I'll buy that for a dollar.
