GOBLINS HAVE FEELINGS TOO! DEFEND THE TOWER FROM HEROES IN 2D ROGUELITE SIDE-SCROLLER, 'DICE GOBLIN'S DEN'
Explore An Enchanting World of Toads, Spells, Loot, and Selfish Do-Gooders
Connecticut, United States, 14 August 2025 | Indie developer Babachoo is proud to present their debut title, a 2D side-scrolling tower defense roguelite game titled Dice Goblin's Den. A free demo coming soon to Steam! Walk in the shoes of the enemy as you defend your fellow Goblins from waves of 'heroes' who have been given quests from a local tavern to loot and raid your home.
Defend Your Dingy Goblin Digs'
Play from a different perspective with this unique twist on tower defense, from the 'bad guys' point of view! Experience randomized levels, unique enemies, and loads of loot. Every playthrough is its own unique experience, with luck and rewards to choose from, players must employ clever strategies to hold off hordes of raiding heroes.
Goblins come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and talents. Players must choose a party leader for their campaign: select from a Wizard, Witch, Bard, Cleric, Knight, Paladin, Druid, Rogue, or Miner. Each party leader grants special and unique abilities to lead the charge and protect your Goblin base from enemy onslaught. Knights, Snails, Gnomes, and more are all poised to attack!
Build a Strong Defense and a Thriving Economy!
This Goblin base requires proper management! Hire workers to build and gather resources like gold, wood, gemstones, and food. Remember to also allocate resources to your Goblin combat units to protect your structures and workers. Use wood to purchase new buildings for your den and build scaffolding on the battlefield for an added advantage. Gemstones can be exchanged for building upgrades and upgrades for your goblins' stats and abilities.
Experience A New Game With Each Playthrough!
Every playthrough will be unique and unlike the run you experienced before. With the wackiness of the roguelike elements, players can expect randomized levels, upgrades, permadeath, and different rewards. Death, which is likely inevitable, will bring you a new adventure and allow you a new opportunity to make better choices- or not. Players must weaponize the random luck thrown their way and strategize with their absurd gifts to make the most of each run.
