Chop Goblins puts you in the slightly dodgy shoes of someone who’s broken into the local museum to rummage amongst the artefacts inside, only to accidentally free the titular nasty goblins from a trunk in the basement. Favourite goblin pastimes include chopping all and sundry up with meat cleavers, so you’ll have to track them down and put them down. Szymanski’s crammed a bunch of distinct time periods into theFPS gameto pursue the chop goblins through, from the present day to 1800s Transylvania, ancient Greece, and the near future.

There are five distinct weapons to take with you on your time-hopping, goblin-chasing shenanigans, too. These range from an antique flintlock to an automatic stake gun dubbed Vlad. Guess that’s in the Transylvanian level. It’s not just the standard chop goblins you’ll be up against either, as Szymanski’s thrown in a mix of enemy types, and some bosses to tackle. Even though it’s a short game, Chop Goblins has some secrets to find, and there’ll be leaderboards and achievements as well.
