Goblin Sword in IOS

Retro Platformer

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

89/100

Goblin Sword is a love letter to the 16-bit era of action platformers. From the chunky pixel art to the chip-tune soundtrack, it feels like a long-lost SNES classic. The controls are incredibly tight—a necessity for a game that demands precise jumps and perfectly timed swings against increasingly difficult enemies.

What makes it stand out is the sheer amount of content. There are secrets hidden in almost every level, rewarding exploration with new weapons, armor, and relics. Each weapon feels distinct, changing your reach and attack speed, which adds a light RPG layer to the pure platforming action. It is a nostalgic, challenging, and deeply rewarding experience for any retro gaming fan.
