Description
Now There Be Goblins is a game about whacking goblins whilst strategically defending the statue by laying down traps and placing structures. Fight off hordes of goblins in this VR smack and smash tower defence hybrid! Punish the invading goblins by using your mighty chained hammer and your wide arsenal of traps and structures. However, be aware the goblins keep coming back with new surprises. Attempt more levels and higher difficulties, discover badass hammers, and unlock a variety of structures to ultimately defeat all the goblins once and for all!
History
Now There Be Goblins reached a playable state in February 2020 and was officially selected for the IMAGINE Film Festival and Dutch Game Gardens INDIGO. Where for the first time, the prototype would be openly playable on UTOMIK. After an overwhelming amount of positive feedback, the team decided to found Shocktopus Games and realize their vision for Now There Be Goblins. While in pre-alpha production, a demo was released on the Steam Game Festival in February 2021. Shortly after, the game was released in closed-alpha and prepared for a bigger release on Steam in Q1 2022.
