Gameplay

The player takes on the role of an unmotivated goblin, compelled by a goddess to defeat the princesses. However, challenging the princesses right from the beginning would be reckless. The player must make the goblin stronger before taking them on.

In the game, the goblin will move randomly through the dungeon. While moving, it may open treasure chests to obtain equipment, pick up potion bottles to recover HP and MP, reach the next floor, or encounter enemies. Opening treasure chests is one of the main ways to obtain equipment. Equipment level is determined by the current floor, while its quality is random and affected by LUCK. Newly obtained gear will not equip automatically and must be equipped manually. In addition, unwanted equipment can be decomposed into materials, which can later be used to forge new gear.

Defeating enemies will grant experience and allow the goblin to level up. Each level up will fully restore HP and MP and grants 5 attribute points. Every 2 levels also grant 1 Skill Point for learning skills. Skills are divided into active and passive categories, as well as physical and magical types. Notably, only 3 active skills can be learned per run.

Once the goblin is strong enough, the player may choose to challenge a princess. Each princess has several CGs (victory and defeat CGs, as well as additional CGs unlocked under specific conditions) .

Also, the player may choose Rebirth to begin a new run. Based on the highest floor reached, it will award Hero Points which provide various permanent upgrades and bonuses.

Note: Increasing MSpeed to over 100% is strongly recommended to significantly improve overall game speed.

Pros

• Fun and humorous story
• Cute art style
• Progression system
• 40+ amusing CGs

Areas for improvement

• There are no attack sound effects. It would be nice to have them added
• Enemies in the mid-to-late game scale way too fast. Increasing the rate of Hero Points gain or slowing enemy scaling could improve the overall gameplay experience

UPDATE:

I feel like I need to give an update. After level 50, progress in the game gets extremely slow and tedious. This needs to be better balanced. I will keep for now my recommendation, however I expect a patch that balance "endgame".

Recently, I’ve really gotten into idler games. This year alone, I’ve played quite a few and easily spent hundreds of hours. I strongly prefer true idlers over clickers, and honestly, I think classic clicker games, the kind where you relentlessly hammer your mouse, are more or less dead. Players want idlers, meaning games you can let run with limited but meaningful interaction.

For me, a good idler needs a few key things: appealing pixel graphics, a clear and readable UI, a solid overall overview, not too many numbers thrown at you, motivating progression, and an endgame that does not become frustratingly steep.

So, does Goblin VS Princess check those boxes? After about 10 hours, I would say yes across the board. The progression feels rewarding, the presentation is clean, and the game respects your time. I am curious to see whether it is truly possible to finish the game and whether the difficulty curve stays reasonable toward the endgame and whether it bescomes a bit faster.
If I have one recommendation, for rebirth (new game plus) runs we need the option to accelerate the game.

In short, that is a lot of text just to say this: it is a very good idler, and at its price point, it is an easy recommendation for fans of the genre.
