April 26th, 2021 - With the release of the demo on Steam thousands of players are falling in love with the beautiful hand-drawn RPG world of Goblin Stone. With an Early Access launch set for later this year, developers Orc Chop Games have invited aspiring goblin chieftains to learn some of the deeper secrets of running a tribe in a series of development blogs. The latest subject? Breeding.
Goblins are frail creatures and it’s not unusual for them to fall in combat against much bigger and stronger foes. But what the average Goblin lacks in individual strength, the tribe makes up for in constantly renewing numbers! Goblin Stone features an advanced breeding system, allowing players to replenish their ranks by pairing up their strongest warriors between daring quests to the surface.
Breeding will be a key feature in the full version of Goblin Stone, and players can prepare for the game’s Early Access release by reading up on the basics of Goblin breeding here. While the demo teaches the basics, players wanting to brush up on the finer points of combat can read more in this piece about energy, exhaustion and keeping your goblins fighting fresh.
Goblin Stone is set to launch into Early Access later this year, with the final version launching in January 2022. Take a peek into the lives of these fragile yet brave creatures in the free demo, available now on Steam. Will you be the one to save goblinkind from extinction?
