'Goliath' Launches Kickstarter Campaign - Screens & Trailer

An open-world, action-adventure game with crafting and role-playing elements, Goliath is set in a universe where players build and customize massive robots to overcome the challenges they face.

Everybody Makes Mistakes. You Make Giants.

After stumbling through a mysterious rift, you find yourself in a mysterious world consisting of the jumbled fragments of a hundred dead civilizations. Ruined buildings from 1930s America share space with wrecked pirate ships and the overgrown remains of spaceships from a far-flung future. Several powerful factions battle for control of this strange and broken land, but even the strongest amongst them tremble in fear of the monstrous giants that roam the land. Fortunately, you can build giants of your own! Search the world for the items you need to craft tools and weapons, including giant robotic suits that will help you even the odd against the enormous creatures you confront!

Welcome to the world of GOLIATH, an action adventure game in which you find yourself in a dangerous and mysterious world full of colossal monsters and potential allies. To survive among these giant creatures you must scavenge for resources and create giant mechanical suits called Goliaths to battle or barter for your life. Starting with simple wooden versions, you will learn to create dozens of different Goliaths from a variety of materials: wood, stone, metal and other more unique materials found throughout the world. Your Goliath can be customized and outfitted with unique weapons to create options that are perfect for every situation and players’ preferences. But these giant robots won’t solve every problem. You’ll also need to craft items and tools for basic survival, build shelters and fortresses, and choose which factions to side with in the war that’s sweeping across the land.

Whalebox Studios announced the launch of the Kickstarter campaign for Goliath, looking for $50,000 in funding to add additional features to the already feature-packed game.

The Goliath team has been hard at work on the game for over a year and has the funding to complete the game based on the original design. As the team gathered input on the game from the gaming community, they developed ideas on how to make the game even better. Kickstarter funding will allow Whalebox to bring on more staff to add more features and polish others. These features include more Goliath variations, more weather interactions, more playable characters, improved music, additional multiplayer modes, and more.


Key Features:

  • Build A ‘Bot Factory: Learn how to create dozens of robotic Goliath suits from a variety of materials, including wood, stone, metal and more. Each Goliath can be customized and equipped with a variety of weapons – after you’ve learned how to craft them, of course.
  • Survive A Savage Land: Gather materials to build the tools you need to survive, including healing salves, protective fortresses and more. As you explore the world, you’ll learn more complex recipes for more advanced tools and weaponry.
  • Choose A Side: The world of Goliath is populated with several factions that vie for control of resources and territory. These factions include humans, the sentient robotic beings The Created, the demon-like Daemonari, and the elusive Forest Folk. Each faction can offer you different weapon and robot schematics, and you must choose which factions to align yourself with. Try to broker peace or rally your faction to accelerate the war!
  • Procedurally Generate World: Explore a unique world with every game, thanks to a procedurally generated world.
  • A Living World: Explore prairies, forests, swamps, tundras and more, all with a complete dynamic day/night cycle and weather. Weather and terrain affect your robots, so make sure you have the right machine for the job!
  • Co-Op and Competitive Multiplayer: Play through Goliath’s campaign together with a friend, or go head-to-head in arena PvP combat! In co-op mode, players drop into the host player's version of the world. They can work together on the main quest, or tackle the game's procedurally generated side quests. Since every player's game world is different, players will encounter new quests that don't exist in their version of the game every time they join another player's world. Any rewards earned transfer back to their version of the game!
