- Goblin Stone review: turn-based charm spells only last so long - 15 April 2024
In the world of strategy and management game Goblin Stone , the goblins are nearly extinct. Getting murdered in large numbers by adventurers hungry for a quick experience point and a slack handful of coin will do that. I cannot tell you that you will want to bestow protection and prosperity on these gribbly green niblets. They exhibit a tweeness that you’ll either find charming or despicably manipulative, even when they’re showering in the blood of their enemies. Should you want to, though, Goblin Stone offers you the chance to rescue these maligned misfits from the brink of extinction, rebuilding their kingdom and leading them on outings to take the fight to all those heroes that have spotlight-hogged the left side of your screens for far too long.

- New Steam strategy game is XCOM with goblins, and it's delightful - 10 March 2024
We all see the same thing when picturing a goblin: green-skinned, small, ugly, making funny noises, and ripe for adventurers to cut a swathe through their local populous. They're fantasy fodder at its finest, and not something we think about after a hard day of exploring. When the surviving little goobers crawl home though, what do they get up to, and what would happen if one day they'd had enough? This is the premise of turn-based strategy RPG Goblin Stone , which I've been playing ahead of an imminent release on Steam. Read the rest of the story...
