    Zaccaria Pinball offers a ton of breadth, but despite its free entry point, trying to amass a complete collection of everything that's on offer is going to be really expensive stuff, and we can't justify recommending that.

    A very expensive way to play bad pinball.

Poor reviews are generally from people who either wanted a different kind of pinball game (modern tables or digital fantasy tables, the two kinds in Pinball FX) or people who played an earlier, buggier version of the game.

    That said, the online scoreboards still do not work, so I can't give it a perfect rating.    … Full Review »

    Hello this will be a full review of pros and cons on Zaccaria Pinball since I know a lot of people base their opinion on the reviews. I hope IHello this will be a full review of pros and cons on Zaccaria Pinball since I know a lot of people base their opinion on the reviews. I hope I can answer all the common questions new comers might have :)

    PRICE MODEL:

    This game has a unique price model compared to other pinball games downloading the game and trying out all the tables till a limited score is reached as well as getting 2 pinball tables "Time Machine" and "Time Machine Retro" are completely free but that is all you get in-terms of free to play. The rest of the tables come in dlc. If you like a certain type of tables, Solid State (Real life version of the table), Retro (An old version of the table), Remake (A re-imagining of the solid state tables assuming they were made recently, a very realistic modern version of the tables) and electro mechanical tables based on real life versions, you may purchase them in cheaply priced packs compared to other popular pinball games on switch. My favorite thing about pricing is that if you don't like all the tables in a single pack you may buy the tables you like individually for a cheaper price.

    GAMEPLAY:

    From the name the game features all of the Zaccaria pinball tables from real life as well as their modern remakes of those same tables which adds a lot of variety to how you play the same table. You can play black belt machine in its retro, its solid state form or its remake. Each table has a ton of different game modes aside from the regular 3 ball mode there is a 90 second mode, hit the flashing targets and a lot more that I have not explored myself. For those wondering there are leader boards for each game mode. Finally there is a story mode and should you buy dlc there is a campaign mode which when played lets you unlock a set of tables called the award tables. This set can be unlocked just by playing the campaign and scoring. That way you get to challenge yourself at story mode and unlock new tables for free in the process. Moreover if you want to support the game you can buy the entire set as a dlc.

    THE COMMUNITY

    The Zaccaria Pinball Community is very helpful it welcomes top and new pinball players alike a lot of the developers and existing players will be visible online through twitch, switch, steam and discord to provide you with any kind of assist you need there are also a lot of Zaccaria pinball content creators such ad Crow pinball and bazaroo on twitch and YouTube who upload and stream daily providing you with loads of entertainment and giveaways :)

    CONS:

    The game only focuses on one set of tables which are those manufactured by Zaccaria Pinball tables. If you play this game understand that tables by Bally, Williams and other manufacturers wont be featured in this game.

    P.S: This game is updated regularly on its top platforms which means that it is in your own hands to make this game grow on the switch platform. If you like the game let it be known through activity and purchasing investments if possible, that way Magic Pixel will know that the switch platform is growing. Magic Pixel never turns players away, however, they are a small team and if a platform is not being active they won't develop it as much as the active ones. Given that a lot of great things are coming to this game such as new remakes, customization, multiplayer and a new UI.

    This covers my review for Zaccaria Pinball. I hope you love and enjoy the game to your heart's content. If you have any other questions please contact me and I will get back to you ASAP :D    … Full Review »

    I have been playing the EM and solid states mostly but I really like the new modern versions.

    This game seems to have an authentic feel to it for me, unlike pinball arcade which despite having big name tables the feel is floaty and fake.

    I really have no idea about ball physics and all that stuff but from memory playing some of these tables in my younger years and it feels just right to me.

    Where other pinball sims don't' really pull me in through immersion this one does.

    Some people have commented on the price but all in all I have found it is cheaper
    then pinball FX3 which is really the only other quality virtual pinball these days.    … Full Review »
