Goblins: a common low level enemy every fantasy RPG player is familiar with. Small, green, and one hell of a nuisance. Orcs: An underappreciated fantasy race usually depicted as dumb, not divine. For haters of goblins and lovers of orcs, you’ll find the perfect game in Fangstorm.

Developer James Janas and publisher Mythwright have announced their upcoming horde survival, strategic first-person brawler game Fangstorm, set to release on PC in 2027. But that’s not all. A public playtest is currently available to download on Steam!

Fangstorm‘s press release lets players get a glimpse at the glories it holds:

“Playing as a lone Orc demigod, smash into the frontlines to survive an unrelenting goblin siege, wielding devastating weaponry and unleashing godlike abilities to defend your castles against an absurd amount of raiders and turn yourself into the ultimate meat grinder… build lethal traps and summon savage minions to engineer deadly killzones, and bend the battlefield to your will via a deep, persistent progression system. Find powerful relics to amplify your strengths and discover devastating, high-risk builds, upgrading your capabilities while surviving intense, wave-based tower defence combat to become the ultimate goblin-slaying machine.”

Feeling the urge to smite some goblins? These Key Features are what await the divine orc:

• Ascend as Champion of the Gods: Felled heroically in battle, ascend once again as a newly resurrected orc demigod imbued with godlike power. Face hordes of goblin invaders in brutal first-person combat, using a deep, persistent progression system to become a powerful warrior forged by endless carnage.
• Fight as a Demigod: Unleash brutal combat strikes as you smash into the frontlines of battle in ferocious first-person gameplay. Build brutal trap combos, summon savage minions, and wield powerful godlike abilities.
• Divine Progression: Wear the patron mark of a god and honour them through battle to be rewarded with growing power and boons. Unlock persistent upgrades to become a master goblin slayer.
• Escalating Invasions: Survive intense wave-based hordes of goblins, trolls, and fantasy creatures, growing stronger with each invasion. Test your skill across five difficulty levels and apply punishing modifiers to face truly brutal assaults for even greater rewards.

It’s always the right time to smash some goblins in. The public playtest is available until September 21, so join now and Wishlist Fangstorm on Steam while you’re there! If you want more information, follow the official Fangstorm accounts on TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, and X.
