TouchArcade Rating:

Red Nexus Games' captivating pachinko roguelike, Peglin (Free), made a splash yesterday during the Nintendo Indie World showcase, launching simultaneously on Switch, Steam (reaching its 1.0 version), iOS, and Android. This comprehensive 1.0 update brings a wealth of exciting additions, including the final four Cruciball levels (17-20), a challenging new forest mini-boss, a rare Roundrel relic to discover, and extensive balance adjustments. Gameplay has also been refined, notably with changes to how dull pegs function, alongside adjustments to the bestiary research rate. For a complete rundown of all the improvements, check out the full patch notes on the game's Steam news page.
