RPGM - Goblin Layer [v0.58.6] [Parodos]

Review of v0.44.3b
Do I recommend? Only if you've watched the goblin slayer anime and are alright with the typical early build bugs.
Pros
Like the art and the animation is really impressive!
Anything with monster girls is always welcome
The humor is simple and memeish, but is still effective
Neutral
The combat wasn't an invigorating experience, but they give you the option to skip through an instant kill move so if you don't like it, it can be skipped and the rest of the game is still worthwhile
Cons
It's still very much in development, so there are still plenty of bugs, graphical glitches, phasing through items, occasionally frame drops, etc. But I go in with that expectation when I play so it didn't bother me as much as it might others

Overall I think the game is off to a solid start already having several hours of content with some really good erotic scenes and nice cheeky humor in between. I'd like to see less items you find being garbage, it feels bad to go off the beaten path and having moves that do some of what the items like the spears do as you level would be nice so you didn't have to rely on those as much. Aside with my gripes with the combat though and with some expected bug run-ins, it was an enjoyable way to kill a few hours.

i think the biggest problem in this game is the interface and overall bug, let's start with the bugs, I always find myself walking over furniture, NPC, and even wall & cliff, objects overlap the mc which kind of bothers me, and sex/story scene feel a bit clumpy and rough like sometimes I see the scene is overlapped to another, other times the scene suddenly shifts to total darkness, etc which give a buggy, wonky vibe, don't get me wrong the animation itself is amazing! As for the interface such as the quest/goblin menu, although i like the idea of ''walking on the book'', sometimes less is more, I would say it has good intentions but bad execution, every time I open it up, it pauses for 2 sec, and when I try to find quest info of another girl, becoz all the girls are so close together, I always end up bump into another girl which pops up other info that I wasn't intended to see, and after open the quest book menu for a while it becomes annoying and tiresome that u have to walk around the book to get the info u wanted, I would rather have a regular quest menu than this ''book '' thingy, you might think I am being picky, but all this little thing add up could effect on the player's gaming experience. as for the story it's alright, the comedy is ok but could be a bit repetitive, and I don't like the fact that mc is merely sexually interested in Goblin only, i know u trying to create a mc with a big personality, , but it also kinda give me blueball for him not sexually interested in other non-goblin hotties.

This game is genuinely one of the funniest I've played on the site. I'm pretty sure I've laughed out loud at least once every single update.

The wordplay and tongue in cheek humor are well crafted. Some may find the laughs cheap, but I think the humor is simple and effective. The name of the game itself is a parody of a popular anime, and the game follows through on that theme.

The gameplay is an excellent example of turn based rpg combat. Characters level up and specialize in their respective areas. Gold can be spent on equipment. Fights feel pretty well balanced with room for increased or decreased difficulty depending on the goals of the player. The quests and storyline are easy to follow with plenty of in-game resources to keep the player on track.

All in all I think the game is a unique example of a light-hearted, well-made RPG that does what it was intended to do; make you laugh and have a good time banging goblins.

Probably the most humorous game I've played on this site.
Probably has the most lovely female goblin models on this site too.
And probably one of the best RPGM erotic games.
In short, the protagonist is utterly goblin-sexual and shows pretty much zero sexual interest in any creature other than female goblins. He destroys goblin nests by fucking the goblin queen and cucking the entire clan of goblins to death. Yeah you heard me right, death by cuckolding. There are however a number of hot scenes involving human girls who try to seduce the MC from time to time but, presented in some hilarious ways, mostly to no avail.
As an RPGM game with combat, it tries very hard not to be tedious and you can always skip combat by using the cheat attack. Good artwork, good animations and pretty smooth gameplay experience overall.
Play this if you want a lighthearted, stupid story that makes you laugh.

Its like goblin slyer abridged but more FUCKING GOBLINS rather than killing goblins. its got some top tier comedy at some points where I could only lol. ITs absolute genius and I need more updates. IF only the layer was more psychotic about his goblin fetish. Can such a thing be possible? Anyway, it offers me enough amusement at times to forget I am playing a XXX game.

I like the idea, love me some goblin girls, the renders look good but I just find this game painfully unfunny. This is not to crap on the dev, clearly there is an audience for his sense of humor, it's just not me.

absolutely fantastic game, funny as hell (as a parody should be), awesome renders of all female characters, animated scenes give a HUGE plus in my book and they are very well made! Initial version may have some bugs but dev fixes them up shortly after being reported. Combat is well the basic one and it's not grindy at all another huge plus from my side. All-in-all a game that I would recomment if it caught your eye since I always looking froward for the next adventure of GOBLIN LAYER!

Incredibly funny and better than the original material - 10/10. The writing is just amazing. Would have been 12/10 if it was based on koikatsu to capture the original anime style but this aint bad either as the goblins and girls are cute. Also rip lizardbro

If you haven't noticed from the title or characters, this game is a blatant parody of a certain light novel-turned-anime.
Humor's pretty funny and there isn't a lot of grinding involved. Overall, a great game if you have an hour or two to spare.

at first i was laike : "ehh another rpgm pooring game with grind "
then boom u can skip chapters get to the quest and scenes ,
the fuckin humour in this game is hilarious , goblin out of 10
hope to see more of ur games in the future

Good easy game, has a nice little skip and cheat feature if you want to get straight to the spice. A must play for anyone looking for groblin action.
Has a few funny jokes and lines thrown in, but rip Lizardbro.

This is really what h-games should be. Non-creepy, fun, funny. As direct as you want, only as much challenge as you want, well-written. All the gamer inside references are fun -- know your audience -- and the animations and graphics are over-the-top in the best way possible (i.e., cartoon-exaggerated, not C-grade-porn-star-exaggerated). I hope the dev keeps it simple, no crazy feature bloat or side plots: this game has a formula but it's a good one.

Damn fun game, though there is still a decent amount of jank. Can't count the number of times I've walked over a boundary line and had to play invisible wall to find my way back. Not much of an issue though, and everything else more than makes up for it. The humor is top notch, and the characters, while still being twisted by the nature of the game they are in, are very noticeably the same cast of the original story. Loving the game though, having great laughs and getting my fellow degens in the friend group to give it a go-b.

Stellar humor. Not just in a little exhale of the nose way either; I laughed aloud more than once. It's a wonderful blend of character humor and a touch of the absurd. If you're a fan of funny games, this is the one.

The writing is lighthearted. Nothing dark to interrupt it, but not superficial either; there's definitely a feeling of camaraderie between the characters.

The little character portraits are charming and contribute a lot to conveying emotion.

The combat wasn't tedious, which was a refreshing surprise; there's a way to instantly end fights, which means that you're only engaging with combat by choice, when desired.

A great experience. Quite surprising that there aren't more ratings.

This is the funniest game i have ever played, my man dev is really good writer, like for real, i dont want to spoil you, but you should really consider playing this game, is pure gold, good wifus and if you are into goblings(not my case but this ones are cute lol) this is your freaking game. definily a worthy game.

Note: I don't believe a complex opinion can be properly represented by a number but I do understand some people are impatient so I don't use the star system normally, my ratings are as follows. 1 don't recommend, 3 unsure please read review, 5 recommend.

Goblin layer is a spoof on goblin slayer the anime/manga best known for the first episode which promptly displays horrible rape for, basically no reason, the proceeds to be a tame and normal anime except that now there are just rape victims throughout the show that kinda clash with the tone.

In a lot of respects I'd say Goblin Layer improves on the story and characters a lot, the titular Goblin Layer's character is about as deep as a raindrop hitting hot metal but at least he actually has a personality, unlike the show. It actually makes some sense that the chicks in this would wanna fuck GL since there are no other men and they can see him fuckin. The girls are also there but they don't matter as much because the one thing kept form the source material is the MC only wants to deal with goblins and nothing else, he has 1 drive and nothing else matters or will alter that in any way, Unfortunately this means you pretty much only fuck goblins, and hey credit to the devs the goblins are hot but they get stale after a while.

It's an RPGM game and you are encouraged to play it like a real JRPG for some reason thankfully you can cheat otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered, I would say subpar at best.

To be honest that's kinda it, there isn't much to this game, it's also not complete at time of writing so eh? I didn't complete the game as is because I got sick of the JRPG shit and realized other games don't have that so I played all of those instead. If the art catches your fancy, you don't mind some mediocre humor nor the RPGM crap then give it a whirl, otherwise go play all the other games.

Version 0.425:
Nice character models and animations.
Extra enjoyment if you read the books / manga and/or watched the anime
Funny writing, decent combat.
Needs more quests and content or course, but it already has a few hours of content.

Really looking forward to play the next versions

Since I've recently found a good RPGM game, I've decided to try a couple more with high ratings, this one being the latest.

This is by far, one of the silliest game around, and entertaining as fuck.

The renders are decent, as is the writing.
The story is actually well thought out for something so silly.

The world map is pretty nice, which is usually one of the massive issues I've got with RPGM games, the damn maps being impossible to see/navigate.

The combat is standard, but, for those not into RPGM combats, it's got a cheat skill, terminating the combat instantly, which is by far the best thing in this game.

The game's kinda short, but is certainly begging for more content, that is one to follow for sure.

This game is an absolute S-Tier shitpost. If you've read Baalbuddy or Oglaf comics then you know the kind of adult humor to expect. This game knows exactly what it wants to be and that's based as fuck. It takes real brains to make a game that feels this stupid.

[Reviewed in 0.42] This game is rife with dumb humor. There is not one line of serious dialogue to be seen here. And I love it for it.

You are Goblin Layer. The only thing Goblin Layer wants to do is fuck goblin girls. No desire to fuck other women, no desire to eat, sleep, drink, or even wear a gods damned shirt. Goblin girl fucking. That's it.

Considering my love of goblin girls follows in the foot steps of Goblin Layer (it's not humanly possible to equal it or even approach it) the joke never gets old for me. There's plenty of other sexy scenes with non-goblin girls with humor thrown on top for how much Goblin Layer just doesn't care. So you still get some variety to play with. Characters have sufficient variation in personality to make them enjoyable to interact with as well.

The models and animation appear original, or at least unique, which really helps the game stand out from the crowd, and all the girls (but especially the goblin girls) are super cute.

The game has an adequate RPG system. I certainly prefer the offer here of Final Fantasy style heroes on the right, baddies on the left setup, over the RPG Maker standard portraits at the bottom. And all the enemy sprites are original, animated, and delightful to look at. The game isn't going to stand on the RPG battles alone, but that's obviously not the draw here. The RPG combat just does well enough to give mildly interesting gameplay to those that like turn-based RPG battles, and blends well with the story.

This is definitely a game I will watch for further development.
