Red Nexus Games' addictive pachinko roguelike, Peglin (Free), celebrated its 1.0 launch across multiple platforms yesterday. Announced and released simultaneously on the Nintendo Switch during a recent Indie World showcase, the game also received its 1.0 update on Steam. Now, iOS and Android users can finally experience the complete Peglin experience, following the Switch and Steam releases. This highly anticipated 1.0 update includes exciting new content, such as the final four Cruciball levels (17-20), a challenging new forest miniboss, a rare Roundrel relic, and extensive balance adjustments. Gameplay mechanics, particularly concerning dull pegs, have also been refined. Further improvements include changes to the bestiary research rate and much more. For a detailed breakdown of all changes, check out the complete patch notes on the game's Steam news page.
