Devolver Digital has released Risen Ballbylon, the first paid expansion for the roguelite brick-breaker BALL x PIT. It is available now on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and mobile for $6.99. According to the publisher, the game has sold more than 2 million copies.
The expansion takes the action upward instead of down into the pit. Each new level reveals a layer of a former city whose population has been warped by the effects of a meteor. The content unlocks after you complete the base game.
What the expansion adds
According to the publisher, Risen Ballbylon includes four new battlefields, each with its own boss, and more than 40 new enemies. It also adds 45 new passives, including Lucky Coin, Eldritch Gauntlet, Vampire’s Kiss, Volatile Explosive and Relentless Whip.
There are eight new characters with transformed gameplay. The Sentinel can aim in any direction, while The Stonewaller’s balls warp to the other side the first time they hit a wall. The Right Hand Man deals double damage when his balls hit the right wall and half damage on the left. The expansion also adds 24 new balls, such as the Beast ball, which latches onto enemies and damages them until they die, and the spiky Hedgehog ball.
Base building has also been expanded with 20 new structures, including a Floating Fortress, Crystal Monolith, Soup Kitchen and Circus Tent. Players can mine a new resource, crystals, which adds another layer to the game’s economy.
