Stern Pinball has rolled the dice and scored big with their latest pinball creation, Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant’s Eye. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, this pinball game brings the iconic fantasy universe into arcades like never before. With immersive gameplay, stunning artwork, and cutting-edge features, this machine offers players a chance to dive into the Forgotten Realms while battling legendary foes. Let’s explore why this pinball game is a must-play for both D&D enthusiasts and pinball fans.
A Fusion of Fantasy and Pinball
Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant’s Eye masterfully combines the world of tabletop RPGs with the kinetic excitement of pinball. Players become members of the Dragonshield Guild, embarking on a mission to stop Tiamat, the dragon queen, from triggering the War of Dragons. Along the way, they’ll face iconic adversaries like Xanathar the beholder, Sammaster the lich, and the fiery red dragon, Rath the Relentless.
What sets this game apart is its interactive narrative. With 21 campaign modes, three unique multiballs, and multiple endings, every session feels like a new adventure. Players can choose from four characters initially—Paladin, Wizard, Cleric, or Rogue—and unlock three more as they progress, giving each campaign a personalized touch.
Innovative Gameplay Features
Stern Pinball has pushed the boundaries of pinball design with this release. Key features include:
- Rath the Relentless Animatronic: A multi-axis dragon toy with omnidirectional sensors and pinball-firing capability, voiced by Michael Dorn. Its intelligent reactions create dynamic and thrilling battles.
- Gelatinous Cube Toy: This translucent, magnet-powered cube captures pinballs, challenging players to free them to continue their quest.
- Dungeon Crawl Mode: A procedurally generated dungeon with traps, treasures, and surprises that changes weekly, keeping gameplay fresh and unpredictable.
- Player-Controlled Shield: A metal shield between the flippers adds a layer of strategy, helping players fend off attacks while aiming for critical shots.
These elements, combined with cascading ramps, hidden pathways, and a “Critical Hit” captive ball, make every playthrough an engaging experience.
On the other hand, the game’s visuals are a love letter to D&D fans, with hand-drawn artwork by Vincent Proce showcasing iconic characters and settings. Each cabinet model—Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition—offers unique designs, from battle scenes to reflective foil artwork featuring Tiamat and Xanathar.
Adding to the atmosphere is an original orchestrated soundtrack by Cris Velasco and a star-studded voice cast, including Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, and Gerard Way. Together, these elements bring the world of D&D to life under the glass.
In addition, Stern’s Insider Connected platform enhances the experience by allowing players to save their progress, character levels, and inventory across machines. Whether you’re picking up where you left off or starting fresh, the PinSave system ensures flexibility while adding a modern twist to traditional pinball gameplay.
