What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I love considering and implementing ideas that come from interacting with players, and i plan to use Early Access to both expand and improve the game.

Early Access provides a great way of involving players in the development process, and gives space for gathering feedback for polish of the game mechanics - which is highly valuable for making this type of game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm targeting approximately 6 months of Early Access - but the precise timeline might vary based on development direction.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to expand on available equipment, mutations and encounters to give more options for unique runs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version has fully playable basic runs, the maps are partially procedurally generated.
9 enemies and 4 bosses that will fight you in various encounters. 80 mutations that affect units. 30+ status effects for units. 110+ items - a combination of weapons, helmets, shields, trinkets, accessories. 27 cards - for various interactions. 20 core mutations that have more global effects.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There is a possibility of price increase once a certain level of content is added during Early Access, and there will be price increase when the game leave Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan on gathering community feedback trough Steam forums and discord - i want to hear suggestions, bug reports, and player feedback in order to make Gobocore the best version of itself together with the players.”

About This Game

Recruit and command your unique squad of goblins on their quest to rescue their kidnapped friends in this mix of a turn-based auto-battler and deck builder. 

Assemble your squad

You will take command of a small group of brave goblins - equip them with scrappy gear, evolve them by giving them mutations, acquire core mutations that affect the whole squad and equip them with cards. You can switch between automatic card play or take control and help them survive!

You start by picking your first little fighter, after each battle you will evolve your units and gain more companions - upgrade their gear and build your perfect squad by finding combinations and synergies that will make your squad mightier than all upcoming dangers. 

Let them fight! - Automatic TURN BASED BATTLE

 

Battles play out automatically, so your decisions going in it matter. But fear not while your goblins think for themselves you can also help them by playing some of the cards that they carry in battle - or - you can choose to take a step back and let your units play the cards on their own. 

Each defeated enemy will grant you Essence points that will be useful when you return to your camp.

Familiar roguelike elements

After each battle you will be taken to recruiting and upgrade screen - there you will be given the the tools to upgrade each of your units and recruit new companions.

After returning to your home camp, you will get access to store, which contains weapons, shields, helmets, trinkets, accessories that you can give your goblins, bringing them from ragtag group with wooden swords to the best equipped squad in the forest.

As your party grows stronger, it will encounter stronger and more dangerous enemies that it will have to overcome, requiring different loadouts and using accessories to improve their chances of victory - you get to make call on what they wear when they will go towards their next encounter

Overworld

Once you feel confident in your plans - take take a look at the procedurally generated world map and choose your path forward!

Each large encounter moves time forward by a day. As time passes, the map changes, and new encounters appear.

Each day you can also go on smaller scouting encounters to improve your chance in your next big battle. They won't move the day forward and will earn you core mutations.

Drag back essence from these encounters, and continue your chase.

Mutate your goblins.



Gain blessings and trinkets.


Use your skill card abilities during battles.

Good luck - and may you rescue many goblins!
