Our take on Age of Goblins
Simplified controls keep the focus on quick matches, but that comes at the cost of a slower, more deliberate pace: large unit movements and demanding maps can call for fast decisions.
What is Age of Goblins?
Age of Goblins is a real-time strategy game about expanding a goblin tribe and conquering rival groups across a set of maps.
Players capture caves, towers, and farms, then gather food from nature or grow it to support goblin reproduction. Battles involve large numbers of units moving across the map, and blessings earned through combat provide abilities. The maps are hand-drawn and use varied biomes, with different approaches to victory. Controls and mechanics are simplified, but some stages require quick decisions and agility. Players can customize their tribe’s appearance and record personal best times, then try different tactics to improve those times.
