Ball x Pit Risen Ballbylon expansion out now with new battlefields

What the expansion adds

Ball x Pit's biggest expansion yet, Risen Ballbylon, is out now, according to Pocket Gamer. Instead of descending into the Pit and the ruins of a fallen city, players rise above the clouds to a floating metropolis.

The expansion brings four new battlefields and forty new enemy types, plus new characters such as The Sentinel, who can aim in any direction.

New balls and abilities

Twenty-four new balls join the arsenal. Pocket Gamer highlights three examples: the Beast Ball latches onto enemies and damages them, the Kaiju Ball triggers earthquakes, and the Misfortune Ball curses foes.

These additions expand the build variety that fans of the roguelike format expect, where each run offers different combinations of weapons and upgrades.

Background and reception

Ball x Pit is a fast-paced roguelike action game, a genre where each attempt starts fresh and layouts or upgrades change every run. Developer Kenny Sun and Friends made the game, and Devolver Digital publishes it.

Pocket Gamer describes the game as a hit with fans of the genre. The site notes that hopes are high for the expansion to live up to expectations, though it has not published a review score in the material provided.

Where to play

The expansion is available now, and the source material discusses it in the context of mobile roguelike games. Pocket Gamer has not confirmed pricing or platform details in the notes provided, so readers should check official store listings for availability on their device.

Anyone new to the genre can find other roguelike titles compared with Vampire Survivors in the source's coverage, though that list is separate from this release.
