Dusk developer David Szymanski has unveiled his latest project, a Gremlins-inspired one-day retro FPS game called Chop Goblins, in which you travel through time following the eponymous antagonists and is billed as "killer and not filling." Inspired by classic first-person shooter games like Doom, Quake, Half-Life and Daikatana, Chop Goblins features several unique weapons to wield in a variety of world-roaming locations. will appear in Steam in early January 2023 to celebrate the New Year in style.
“You thought it would be fun to break into the nearest museum and dig into the artifacts stored there,” reads the game’s introductory description. “You hardly knew that evil CHOP GOBLINS were imprisoned in a dusty chest in the basement. Now they are on the loose and are once again wreaking havoc on the world. Determined to make up for your mistake, you embark on a space-time chase to hunt down and stop the biggest troublemakers in a short-form shooter that Szymanski says is one-shot.
He describes the game as a "microshooter" - "a first-person shooter designed to be played in one sitting without sacrificing depth, variety, or creativity in gameplay and level design." However, if you want to spend some more time with Chop Goblins, fear not - despite the estimated 30-minute completion time, Szymanski promises leaderboards, achievements, and secrets that will keep you coming back for many more hours. What's more, its short run time can make it the perfect lunch break when you just want to kick back and blow some baddies.
Chop Goblins includes five levels set in different time periods: modern times, 1800s Transylvania, ancient Greece, and "the not-too-distant future". You'll also have five unique weapons to experiment with, and given the Twilight's bloodline, we can't wait to try them out for ourselves. They range from the antique flintlock pistol to the rather imposingly named Mk. II Impaler "Vlad" automatic stake gun.
