BALL x PIT

About the game

BALL x PIT is a fantasy roguelite set after the fall of Ballbylon, when a meteoric event destroyed the great city and left only an ominous pit that treasure hunters now descend into for its scattered riches. Heroes must find the balls needed to plunge deeper into the monster-filled levels, developing arcane ammunition and gathering resources to rebuild the city. The Ball Fusion system lets players experiment with over 60 randomized balls, combining them into unexpected synergies that can change the course of a fight. The city grows through more than 70 buildings that provide bonuses and unlock further power-ups and characters, while homebound heroes can be assigned automated tasks to keep resources coming. Fellow treasure hunters met in the pit join the expedition, each with upgradable mechanics of their own, and combat spans regions from barren deserts and savage forests to frozen caverns, each with its own hazards and bosses. The final free update, The Naturalist Update, adds new balls and passives along with two new characters.

Description from PS Store

BALL x PIT's final free update is The Naturalist Update, which brings a selection of new balls and passives to your favorite ball-bouncing roguelite, as well as two new characters. The first new character, The Ballbearer, doubles down on firepower, literally, giving you twice the amount of Ball slots to build an arsenal – at the cost of giving up passive items completely. Then, on the flipside, there's The Hoary Hoarder, who only has room for two Ball slots, but makes up for it with double the amount of passive slots, letting powerful item Evolutions do the heavy lifting. The Naturalist Update also adds 11 new Balls to the mix. Lightning Bug lights up the battlefield by spawning a firefly with every bounce, seeking out the strongest enemy before zapping nearby targets with a burst of lightning. Drill tears through enemies from behind, piercing straight through them and dealing extra damage along the way. Armageddon calls down a destructive meteor shower the moment it hits an enemy. You'll have to discover the rest yourself. The Naturalist Update also features 5 new passives, including Platinum Dumbbell, which rewards clean shots, giving your balls a damage boost that lasts until they finally collide with the back wall. Inglorious Hammer keeps the pressure on after a bounce, causing balls that hit a wall or the back of the arena to immediately strike a random enemy for reduced damage. Remote Detonator turns every kill into another explosive opportunity. All of this and more awaits you in The Naturalist Update! *** BALL x PIT is a fast-paced fantasy roguelite where heroes must find the balls to plunge deeper into a seemingly bottomless pit of monsters.
