About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your castle ready, because the siege has begun! In Goblivion, you take on the role of a leader (like a king or queen) with the desperate mission of protecting the kingdom against hordes of goblins and trolls. The core experience is pure deck-building mixed with tower defense elements. You don't start with an elite army; your first line of defense is a group of peasants who barely know how to hold a sword. The real challenge lies in training these folks and transforming them into warriors capable of repelling the chaos.
The game is a constant exercise in resource management and tough decision-making. As you defeat enemies, you scavenge loot that allows you to build heavier defenses, such as catapults and even giant robots (yes, the theme blends fantasy with a touch of technological defense!). But don't be fooled: the pressure is constant, and luck can abandon you at the worst possible moment. Every card played and every sacrifice made could be the difference between the kingdom's survival and total destruction.
The experience is highly versatile. You can play solo, tackling the challenge alone, or in cooperative mode with a friend, where both work together to survive. The game offers three difficulty levels for each of the available roles, ensuring you can scale the challenge as your skills grow. Additionally, the final boss fight is the ultimate test, with over seven different villains waiting to test your strategy. If you enjoy fast-paced, intense card games that require careful planning to avoid being crushed by a wave of monsters, Goblivion is your next obsession!
