The Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye Premium Pinball Machine by Stern Pinball celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic roleplaying game, transporting players into the Forgotten Realms. It features legendary D&D creatures like Rath the Relentless (a red dragon), Xanathar the beholder, Sammaster the lich, and locations such as Arabel and Westgate. Players join the Dragonshield Guild to thwart Tiamat’s rise and prevent the War of Dragons, battling through a richly detailed fantasy world.
Notable features include:
- Rath the Relentless: A highly advanced animatronic dragon with multi-axis motion and omnidirectional impact sensing, voiced by Michael Dorn. Players must defeat the dragon and steal its treasure while dodging its fiery breath, which launches multiple pinballs.
- Dynamic Playfield: Players navigate hidden passageways, interact with an electromagnet-powered gelatinous cube that freezes the ball, and explore dungeon levels accessed through a disappearing trap door.
- Mysterious Items & Creatures: Fizmo’s store lets players acquire unique items, while treasure chests unleash mimic monsters and other surprises.
- Randomized Campaign Paths: The game’s story evolves based on player decisions, with unique character, item, and story unlocks. Completing campaigns unlocks new characters and paths.
- Insider Connected™ Platform: This feature allows players to track progress, save campaign data, and play cooperatively with others. The PinSave system lets players pick up where they left off, including inventory, experience points, and progress updates.
The game is available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models, with artwork by Vincent Proce, music from Cris Velasco, and voice acting from stars like Kevin Smith, Matthew Mercer, and Laura Bailey, adding to the immersive experience.
