How AI is used
Generative AI-assisted tools were used to create or refine selected some of the 3D models and for the translation to other langauages. All AI-assisted 3D assets were reviewed, edited, tested, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate content with AI during gameplay and does not connect to an external AI service.

About Goblin Problem
Goblin Problem is an RPG, co-op, tower defense game where you take control of a hero, build and fortify your fortress by day, and fight to defend it by night. Goblins have overrun part of the kingdom, and it is up to you to reclaim the realm piece by piece. Balance your strategy by building defenses, recruiting troops, upgrading your hero, and taking the fight directly to the enemy as you protect your stronghold from relentless waves of attackers.
Your adventure begins in Grace Kingdom, where you visit the Adventurers' Guild and accept a quest to reclaim lands overrun by goblins. With the mission accepted, a powerful mage teleports you to the frontlines, where your journey to take back the kingdom begins.
Perfect for quick sessions or long fortification marathons, Goblin Problem combines RPG combat, fortress building, and tower defense into a streamlined and endlessly replayable experience.
During Night
Lead the defense yourself on the frontlines:
- Direct Combat: Take active control of your hero to strike down foes, cast powerful abilities, and turn the tide of battle.
