About Gobs and Gods
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 battles, 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 the start of the game, 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 is no downtime, the opponents move all simultaneously during the AI phase, and the engine can be smoothly 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 expendable goblins. When you lose a levelled goblin, you absorb its experience and gain devotion points, which allow you to unlock new powers and help you quickly recover from a setback.

Everything about this game, from graphics to writing, screams it's just some Battle Brothers parody. That could be alright, but still one trick pony to maybe grin a bit and immediately forgot. But Gobs and Gods actually builds up on it's role model and offers pretty robust strategy game on it's own. Even with some neat ideas to stir the formula. The best one is: when your minions die, you eat their souls. Sounds crunchy, doesn't it? Practically it means you absorb their XP and use it for upgrading your godly powers. Therefore, when your favourite veteran got smashed by random troll, instead of rage-quit, you start drooling over newly acquired possibilities. Thank you, troll! Want a dessert? Got a spare mage here somewhere. I even caught myself hiring gobs just to stuff them with some xp boosters and immediately sacrificing them when I really wanted that upgrade for another minion slot or something. That's what I call proper role-playing a god: slowly becoming fickle tyrant. Second cool thing is real-time mode you can activate in otherwise turn-based battles. It's chaotic and useless for any tacticising, but it considerably speeds up easier battles! Once again solving cleverly ano…12 found this helpful

So, so good. Similar to Battle Brothers, but with gobs. Very much worth playing.2 found this helpful
This game makes me think of Battle Brothers with Monty Python humor. Hilarious and fun to play, solid game would recommend.1 found this helpful
Gobs and Gods is an indie tactical role-playing game created by the small development team of Alexandre Gilotte and Thierry Gilotte, released independently without a traditional publisher. The game blends turn-based tactical combat, roguelite progression, and humorous fantasy storytelling into a single experience that focuses on leading a chaotic tribe of goblins who believe the player is their divine ruler. Rather than following the typical heroic fantasy narrative where players command noble warriors or legendary heroes, the game embraces a more absurd premise: you are treated as a god by a group of mischievous goblins whose loyalty is unwavering but whose competence is often questionable. The story begins when the player suddenly finds themselves in a strange fantasy world populated by goblins who quickly assume that the newcomer must be a powerful deity. From their perspective, your arrival fulfills ancient beliefs about a god who will guide them to greatness. Unfortunately for the goblins, their “divine leader” is not necessarily prepared for the responsibilities of leading a tribe. This comedic setup drives much of the narrative, as the player navigates a series of strange q…1 found this helpful
