Since the release one month ago, we have been actively iterating based on players' feedback and suggestions. Our primary focus has been improving the UI and enhancing the overall player experience. Next, we plan to address game balance and difficulty, aiming to provide a rewarding challenge for all players, from casual gamers to hardcore enthusiasts and even sadistic goblin gods. Following this, we intend to introduce additional content such as new items, quests, the new "alchimechanics" skill, andhopefullynew scenarios to offer more varied playthroughs.

The Tactical Rpg Going Full Goblin Mode!
In Gobs and Gods, you freely explore a fantastic world full of magic, wonders and crazy surprises.The bad news: its nicest inhabitants are ... Goblins.
The good news: they seem to believe you are their God.
Hire, equip and level-up a band of goblins to fight and die for you in tactical turn-based combats, while you uncover the secrets of this world, and maybe find your way out of there!
The Gameplay Includes:
- free exploration of a sandbox world
- fast tactical turn-based combats
- a wide variety of absurdly unique quests
- levelling your army of expendable goblins while increasing your own powers.
Free Exploration Of A Sandbox World
At game start, you can choose either the default map or a new procedurally generated world map for increased replayability.
You will explore smelly dungeons, mysterious mage towers and prosperous villages ... all that while getting the opinionated comments of your goblins about the places you visit.
Fast Tactical Turn Based Combats
When encountering an enemy mob, the game switches to a turn-by-turn combat on a hexagonal grid.
Your goblins must act each turn with a limited pool of action points, to move, hit, cast a spell, or maybe insult the opponent.
They can also unlock more powerful moves by spending "essence" points, but this resource is limited, making for difficult tactical decisions.
To ensure there are no downtime, the opponents move all simultaneously during the AI phase, and the engine can smoothly be swapped to a "real time" mode to quickly finish a battle.
Quests Like You Just Won't Find Anywhere Else
In Gobs and Gods, you should not expect epic quests where you are the only hope to save the world - it is way beyond saving anyway.
And if you are told by a nice and miserable gob that you are the one to help them get rid of the local evil bad guy, don't fall for it, it's a scam!
Instead, you would get quests which make sense for a goblin - which is to say, sometimes not so much; but we bet that for once you will actually read the text of the quests.
Levelling Your Gobs and Your God
Your goblins will gain xp when they survive a battle, increasing their strength, unlocking new perks, and enabling you to deal with stronger enemies...
... until you suffer a defeat and lose most of your army. Does this mean you have to reload or restart the game? No! Remember, You are a god, and they are only expandable goblins. When you lose a levelled goblin, you absorb its experience and gain devotion points, which allow you to unlock new powers and to help you quickly recover from a set back.
