Fun characters, ideas, and mechanics. However the old bait and switch is just objectively annoying and makes me not want to entertain the notion of paying for the full game. Giving people the illusion of being a free game, only to then ask you to buy the full game after you finish ONE AREA in a supposed rouglike-type game is just scummy. I would be much more willing to consider buying the full thing if ya’ll were more upfront and not using these, at best, non transparent selling practices. ### 1/5 — Not for experienced roguelike players. *2026-07-23, version 2.0.12* I’ve completed the game to 19-20-19-18 Cruciball levels. It *can* be fun, but by god is it tedious and luck heavy. Higher cruciball levels tend to be a slog and have a filter gate at the first boss. I have a lot of hours in this game, but I can recommend it to anyone wanting a great roguelike experience. It only hooked me into disappointment. ### 5/5 — Idk what to put for the title *2026-06-22, version 2.0.12* Great game and good music but I beat it in 20 min ### 4/5 — Full game *2026-06-21, version 2.0.12* I love this game it’s so amazing the cute little characters and the mobs. They’re so cute and funny. The puns are amazing. I totally suggest this game for someone who needs to sit down and relax. But you only have the forest which is totally fine. I don’t mind playing the same one over and over and over again, but if someone if you’re someone who gets bored all the time you might not want to do this unless you buy the whole game. but also it doesn’t list how much it costs which I think is a problem so if you guys could fix that that would be stellar but other than that, this is a great game. ### 4/5 — ガムみたいなゲーム *2026-06-19* 長文です。 説得力を持たせるため、筆者はPCベータ版からのプレイヤーであり、各キャラ最高難易度を複数回クリア済みである事を付記します。 結論として、筆者の現状のこのゲームの評価はタイトルの通り『ガムみたいなゲーム』です。噛めば噛むほど味がしなくなる、という意味です。 購入を予定される方は、やり込みより、初見ないしはそれに近しい数回のプレイを重視して検討する事をおすすめします。 では何故ローグライクという「これぞやり込みゲームジャンル」でこのような評価になったのかを記します。 このゲームにはクルーシボールという難易度上昇システムがあります。 全3ステージのランを突破すると、このクルーシボールの段階が解放され、より高い難易度でプレイできるようになる仕組みです。 段階が上がるにつれ敵は強く、プレイヤーは弱くなります。 最高難易度ともなるとこの差は顕著で、森林エリア(最初のステージ)のボスに辿り着くことさえままならない事も多々あります。 ここまでは「なかなかハードなゲームだな」と惹かれる方もいるかと思いますが、問題はその方向性です。 筆者の体験にはなりますが、このゲーム、失敗するランは9割が森林エリアです。 レリックも揃わず、初期装備も弱体化され、回復もままならない中で避けられないダメージを負う。 こうした状況への対策が揃う中盤〜終盤よりも苦しい展開であるのは明らかです。 しかしそこはローグライク、幸不幸は序盤だろうと終盤だろうと平等に訪れます。 補足するとこのゲームの“幸”には一部を除いて、HPを全快したり、即効性があって強力な攻撃手段をくれるといった、マイナスをプラスにする程のパワーはありませんし、このゲームの運営はその一部をナーフする傾向があります。クッキー返して。 このリカバリーが効かない序盤の構造の結果として、ゲームに慣れたプレイヤーは「このランはもうダメそう」という基準を否応なく認識する事になります。 極端ですが、これは最初の提示レリックが高パワーやコンボが前提で序盤に役立たないものだけだった場合という、ゲームプレイ以前の段階でも発生します。 やればやるほど「こりゃダメだ」と分かるタイミングが早まり、クリアできる『上振れ』が来るまで試行回数を稼ぎ続ける、多様性とアドリブ性、試行錯誤とは程遠い作業。これが『ガムみたいなゲーム』と評した理由です。 一方で、森林エリアを突破したランの勝率は非常に高いです。特に最終ステージは殆どの場合無双状態となっています。 直近のアプデ内容から運営も森林エリアの調整は必要だと認識しているようなので、今後森林エリアをリワークし、その分第2,最終ステージの難易度を上げるような調整が来れば文句なしに面白いゲームだとおすすめできます。 現状は「やり込まないなら⭐︎4、最高難易度までやるなら⭐︎2」が総評です。 追記:大型アップデートにより第4ステージ、および最終ボスが追加されました。全キャラ最高難易度での攻略を終えたので追記します。 結論から、過去1番良いアップデートでした。伴って評価も⭐︎4へ上げています。 最終面をプレイするには第2、3ステージに縛りを設けるデメリットレリックを取る必要があること、ラスボスは桁違いの体力と固有のギミックを持っていることにより、上記「上振れると無双状態で歯応えがない」問題が解決しています。 プレイ自体も楽しく、BGMや演出も良かったです。 また、一部オーブの上方修正、第1エリアのイベントの恩恵向上等、序盤の難易度にも調整が入っており、全体を通して好印象でした。 最終ボスの固有ギミックの関係上必須級のオーブ・レリック群がある等、気になる点はありますが、少なくとも『クリアまでに味がなくなるガム』では無くなったと思います。 ### 5/5 — 面白いです　Switch版のアップデートも待ってます！ *2026-06-14* ペグリン専用オーブ出ない&ビーム出す奴が弱い ラウンドレルに回復系が欲しい ボルディンが現状ラスボスと相性がかなり悪い スピンベンターナーフされ過ぎて現状パワー不足 みこがし等一部のボスレリックが普通のレリックにマイナス効果を付加したような面白いおもちゃ 以外では本当に面白いです ### 4/5 — Amazing Game *2026-06-14, version 2.0.12* I love this game. Only thing that needs to be added is an infinite mode after you beat the game. Or a looping system. If it has that 5/5. Regardless extremely fun ### 3/5 — Made by Chimpanzees? *2026-06-10, version 2.0.12* This game has the potential to be really good, really replayable, BUT the difficulty curve is just terrible. level design is terrible. genuinely who would even want to play cruciball past level 15? it stops being fun VERY fast and i fail to see how the devs think this is enjoyable to play at times. ### 2/5 — Fun but expensive. *2026-05-26, version 2.0.12* Be aware there's only 3 levels.. "Zones" it expensive on all platforms for not much of a game.. only 3 zones like that feels like a demo for £10! ## Frequently asked questions about Peglin ### What kind of game is Peglin?
