If you've been craving something similar to PopCap's classic Peggle, Roundguard might but be a new, different type of dungeon-crawler with enough in common to satisfy you.Roundguard, which is out today on Apple Arcade, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, mixes elements from rogue-like dungeon crawlers and the bouncy mayhem of Peggle.

Your character bounces around the screen, ricochets off objects or pausing in mid-air to attack enemies. You'll have to be careful where you aim though--with permadeath active you'll be sent to the start of the dungeon when you die, keeping only permanent upgrades you can acquire with all the gold you've gathered thus far.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
