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?

Offering deep but accessible tactical turn-based combat, Goblin Stone has a fully narrated story voiced by Scottish actor James Smillie, accompanied by music from award-winning composer Peter McConnell of Hearthstone, Broken Age and and Monkey Island.

Are you ready to save the goblins?  

Orc Chop Games has delivered its largest update yet, just in time for Steam's Next Fest on June 16. In preparation for an influx of new players, the development team have been hard at work on their turn-based tactical RPG, Goblin Stone.

In a fresh update, thecreators have shared what improvements players can expect: a new mini-map, three more classes, brand new music, an ability queue, as well as new look ability cards.

Like any roguelite, knowing where you're going is vital to plotting your next adventure. Displayed in hand-drawn parchment, the map will help you chart your progress and show how much you’ve explored a certain area. It indicates treasures, enemies, resources, and loot left behind by foes.

Having introduced players to the Guard, Shaman, and Raider classes in the demo, players can look forward to an ever-expanding roster of new goblins to get to grips with (look below!).

Up first is the Hunter which uses axes, spears, and arrows. Next is the Mystic, a studious magic user that’s fragile, but wields a trusty wand with ease. Lastly, we have the Bandit, a melee support class that commands other goblins. 

Finally, no fantasy adventure is complete without an epic soundtrack. Music from composer Peter McConnell - famed for his work on Monkey Island and Hearthstone - has now been added.

The #NextFest update is set to go live at 9:00am PST on June 15, 2021.
