Peglin is a game built around randomness. The game’s Steam description cites the roguelike Slay the Spire as one of its main inspirations – in both games, your success in combat is dictated by your ability to create a “deck” out of a random selection of items. These items are cards in Slay the Spire, and orbs in Peglin. To fend off hordes of enemies, you drop these orbs onto “pegs” in the style of a Pachinko arcade machine, a game where randomness plays such a big role that it’s often considered gambling.
