Gnoblins is called Gnoblins and that’s pretty much all I needed to know to convince me that downloading the freely available alpha version might be a very good idea indeed. That it turns out to be a first person RPG, with roguelike features such as random levels, lots of items to equip and mysterious dangers to discover. The Gnoblins themselves are minions, to be added in a future release, that will apparently provide an RTS element to the game and there’s even mention of developing areas of the dungeon for your own use. Dungeon Keeper plus roguelike plus Ultima Underworld? Let’s hope so. It’s tremendously exciting, even if the early version is obviously missing lots of planned features and content. Try the alpha and if your name is Richard Cobbett, click more.
Now that it’s dead, the thousand members of its family will return for revengening.

Nice to see more cool-looking indie games.

Sounds like one to watch. The features are obviously the draw, but it’s not a bad looker either. Here’s hoping it’s more King Arthur’s Gold than Ace of Spades in the long run.

Also, if your name is Richard Cobbett, be sure to check the alt-text.

All right, I’m downloading it. But that name is silly, I tell you.

More people need to download this so my security systems don’t flip out and make me override them.

I had hoped it was a spiritual successor of Gobliiins. Nope.

Gnoblins! The only game to have Gnoblins added in a future patch!

Why would you release a version of your game in which the title feature is not yet present? Madness, I tells ya.

Anyone else having issues when downloading the alpha?
