There’s a special kind of satisfaction that comes from firing a ball into a field of pegs and watching the ensuing chain reaction of chaotic bounces. If you know that feeling, then good news! Knights of the Round Peg, a new peg-breaking puzzle adventure, has launched on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Developed by BoomZAP and published by Ocean Media, Knights of the Round Peg is available right now for £8.39.
A Musical Journey to Clear the Pegs
Prepare to embark on a musical journey, where you’ll step into the enchanting world of a brave knight facing a series of captivating, peg-filled challenges.
In Knights of the Round Peg, you’ll join a brave knight, equipped not just with courage but also a lute and a quiver of musical notes, on a journey through a magical kingdom. As you explore the beautifully hand-drawn map, you’ll encounter 80 captivating levels, each a new challenge requiring you to clear all the pegs to progress.
The core gameplay will feel instantly familiar to fans of the genre. You must strategically clear pegs at each level using a limited number of balls (or musical notes, in this case!). You’ll need to aim carefully, predict your bounces, and make every shot count to clear the board. The game promises an addictive experience, where each cleared level brings a rush of satisfaction.
A Hand-Drawn Kingdom
This peg-popping adventure takes place across beautifully hand-drawn landscapes. Each of the 80 level backdrops is not just a static image; they are filled with interactive elements for you to discover as you play, bringing the magical world to life.
In the Hallowed Halls of Peg-Based Greatness
Knights of the Round Peg enters a genre with some beloved classics. The undisputed king, of course, is the legendary Peggle. More recently, we’ve seen fantastic new takes on the formula, like the roguelike deckbuilder Peglin, which we awarded a stellar 4.5/5 in our review. We called that one “a clever mix of satisfying physics and deep strategy” that “near demands this hits your library.”
Knights of the Round Peg will be hoping to capture some of that same addictive magic with its own unique musical and fantasy twist.
