by Rainier on Jan. 25, 2024 @ 8:00 a.m. PST

Goblin Stone sees players taking on humans, elves and dwarves in a turn-based RPG wrapped in stunning, procedurally generated hand-drawn 2D levels.

Goblins have been stepped on by adventurers for far too long. Not any more. It’s time to gather your ragtag group of greenskins to take on your enemies and fight back.From finding and creating your own goblin lair that allows you to manage and improve your roster, to mapping your lineage and drafting the perfect raiding party, Goblin Stone offers both charm and depth. With difficult choices to make, which goblins will you keep for a stronger future?

Featuring an innovative turn-based battle system and a sprawling world to explore, Goblin Stone is a narrative experience that offers huge depth. From determining your party and their itemisation, to their fighting positions, roles and abilities, all before trading in your loot back at base camp. The purpose? Pushing back against the adventures who’re hunting you. Not all goblins will survive, but with each death comes a  new ancestor to strengthen your future. 

Featuring a fully narrated story voiced by Scottish actor James Smillie and accompanied with music from award-winning composer Peter McConnell of Monkey Island, Psychonauts 2, Hearthstone and Broken Age fame, Goblin Stone invites players to do battle with humans, elves and dwarves as they make difficult choices for their survival. Are you ready to save the goblins?

Are you ready to save the goblins?
