Goblin Times

Goblin Times is a turn-based strategy game with RPG elements. You lead one of eight forces, moving a leader and units across a tile-based map to explore, expand, exploit and exterminate. You can pursue victory through reputation, by acquiring rare resources or by defeating opponents with force.

Manage your force

The game has five resources: gold, food, staff, reputation and happiness. Use them to produce units, build constructions, develop policies, and pay costs imposed by map mechanisms and random incidents. Workers can build on map tiles, while leaders and units move across them. Units can level up and buy equipment to grow stronger.

Choose a leader

Each force has a leader with a distinct background and abilities:

• Bomb girls: Two sisters lead a popular movement. The older sister is wild and passionate; the younger appears clueless and innocent but is more dangerous, and likes blowing things up.
• Politician: A controlling con artist who deceives and uses people, while winning public approval through power and political tricks.
• Chemist: An ambitious alchemist who uses chemical weapons and drugs to control and strengthen goblins.
• Vampire: An arrogant, intelligent and devious noble who uses his beauty and acting skills to conceal his treatment of the poor as sources of money and blood.
• Devil: After being conned out of her life savings, this ambitious young devil stays to seek revenge and prove she is the incarnation of evil. The government has ironically awarded her honorary citizenship for her decent behavior.
• Banker: A very wealthy man who still goes out of his way to take the last dime from others.
• Machete: A killer and robber regarded by other leaders as a brutal tyrant who ignores rules and politics. His actions attract low-life goblins who see him as a hero.
• Immortal: The greediest goblins rise from their tombs under his leadership, kept in the world for eternity by the power of money.

Incidents and other encounters

You can hire criminals to eliminate enemies and kill monsters to take their money. Gambling offers a common way for goblins to get rich or go broke, while Tarot is described as the fastest way to change your life. Random incidents present choices, with different decisions leading to different branches.
