Goblin Camp is a fresh look at the colony simulator genre.

The game features exclusive music by video game composer Henri Sorvali (also known from Moonsorrow, Finntroll), showcasing the traditional Finnish instrument, the kantele. The music and art combine to deliver an experience of a vibrant natural world and its changing seasons.

The original Goblin Camp was an ASCII freeware game first published in 2010, and it’s now been re-imagined in full 3D glory by a team led by the original developer. Its roguelike heritage shows in the use of procedural generation to simulate a glacial landscape, and a dynamically growing forest that responds to your actions. Other technical highlights include advanced water and fire simulations, and centralized manager interfaces that make it easy to scale gameplay from a tiny village to a bustling city. These manager interfaces, combined with far-reaching goblin autonomy, free the player from micromanaging the camp and let them concentrate on developing their growing civilization

Goblin Camp is a modern and northern take on fantasy city-building.
