Turn-based adventure Goblin Stone confirmed for Switch

Orc Chop Games is bringing its turn-based adventure title Goblin Stone to Switch, the studio has confirmed. It will be available in 2023, with a specific date to follow in the future.

The game has goblins and orcs fighting back against adventurers, as they’ve been pushed to near extinction. There’s a procedurally-generated hand-drawn world to explore, turn-based combat to get involved with, and a lair to build.

Here’s some additional information about Goblin Stone:

Set against beautifully hand-drawn backgrounds in stunning procedurally generated environments, Goblin Stone’s latest trailer sees players find and create their own unique goblin lair. Inside they’ll be able to expand its rooms, plan their adventures ahead of venturing into the game world, breed goblins to improve their lineage, recruit fresh fighters to their roster and build a party from unique classes to take on the wilds.

Featuring an innovative turn-based battle system and a sprawling world to explore, Goblin Stone is a narrative experience that offers huge depth. From determining your party and their itemisation, to their fighting positions, roles and abilities, all before trading in your loot back at base camp. The purpose? Pushing back against the adventures who’re hunting you. Not all goblins will survive, but with each death comes a new ancestor to strengthen your future.

Voiced by Scottish actor James Smillie and accompanied with music from award-winning composer Peter McConnell of Monkey Island, Hearthstone and Broken Age fame, Goblin Stone invites players to do battle with humans, elves and dwarves as they make difficult choices for their survival. Are you ready to save the goblins?
