FAQs

What is a roguelite game?

A roguelite is a subgenre of role-playing games that incorporates elements of roguelike games, such as randomized levels, item drops, and enemy placement, along with permadeath. However, roguelites often feature meta-progression, meaning players can unlock permanent upgrades or new abilities that carry over between playthroughs, making subsequent runs easier.

How does the Ball Fusion system work?

The Ball Fusion system allows you to combine different types of magic balls you acquire. By experimenting, you can discover hundreds of unique fusions that result in new projectile types with different effects and damage properties, essential for overcoming challenging enemies and bosses.

What happens when I 'lose my balls'?

This phrase refers to losing collected balls or progress during a run. Depending on the game's mechanics, this might mean losing the balls you currently have equipped or a portion of your accumulated resources upon dying. The goal is to manage your resources and make progress before facing a fatal encounter.

How many buildings can I unlock in New Ballbylon?

You can unlock and construct over 70 different buildings in New Ballbylon. These buildings provide various benefits, such as passive bonuses, access to new characters, or ways to automate resource gathering, aiding your progression.

Is the physical edition different from the digital one?

Yes, the physical edition includes exclusive bonus content: 6 trading cards featuring game elements and a double-sided poster showcasing game art and ball combinations. The core gameplay is the same as the digital version.

What kind of enemies and bosses can I expect?

You will encounter legions of diverse enemies across different environments. The game also features mighty, screen-filling bosses that require strategic planning and specific fused ball combinations to defeat.

Troubleshooting

Game does not launch or freezes

Ensure the game card is properly inserted. Try restarting your Nintendo Switch console. Check if there are any system software updates available for your console and install them. If the issue persists, try redownloading the game if it was digitally purchased, or contact Nintendo support for physical game card issues.

Performance issues or lag

Close any other running applications on your Nintendo Switch. Ensure your console has sufficient free storage space. If playing in docked mode, try playing in handheld mode to see if performance improves. If problems persist, consider restarting the console.

Missing physical edition items (trading cards, poster)

Carefully check all packaging materials included with the game. If items are still missing, contact the retailer where the game was purchased or Nintendo customer support for assistance.
