About Goblin Rush
What is Goblin Rush?
Goblin Rush is a 2D arcade action game with fantasy and roguelite elements. It flips the usual survivors-like setup: you control one goblin while a huge goblin swarm fights alongside you. Cuprum Legion made it solo as a prototype. The game runs in a browser through itch.io, so it fits neatly into a quick tab-based session. Goblin Rush is singleplayer, short, and built around taking down heroic opponents before they become too powerful.
How a run of Goblin Rush plays
A run of Goblin Rush puts you in control of one goblin using a sword, spear, or bow. Hundreds of other goblins swarm on their own while you move and attack. Every fallen goblin feeds the hero’s XP, so careless losses make the enemy stronger. Heroes also chase healing orbs, creating another opportunity to exploit. Clear each stage, choose one of three goblin upgrades, and aim for the best rank before the roughly six-minute run ends.
Why Goblin Rush is worth a try
Goblin Rush turns the survivors-like formula around. You are not the lone hero trying to survive a horde. You are part of the horde, helping hundreds of goblins overwhelm ten heroes, including two party battles. The enemy grows from your losses, which gives every swarm a real cost. Short runs, ranked clears, and upgrade choices make it easy to retry Goblin Rush and chase a cleaner result.
Who will enjoy Goblin Rush
Goblin Rush suits players who enjoy short action games, quick retries, and chasing better clear ranks. The roughly six-minute run keeps the commitment low, while three upgrade choices after each stage invite build experimentation. It also works for players who like unusual survivors-like twists and simple browser sessions. Set expectations accordingly: Cuprum Legion describes Goblin Rush as a solo-made prototype, so it is a compact experience rather than a huge campaign.

How do you play Goblin Rush?
Control one goblin with drag movement and tap attacks while hundreds of goblins swarm automatically. Defeat the heroes before they grow too strong, choose upgrades after stages, and chase an S rank based on clear time and goblin losses.
Is Goblin Rush like a survivors-like game?
Yes, but Goblin Rush reverses the usual setup. Instead of playing a lone survivor against a crowd, you control one goblin inside the horde. Goblins swarm on their own, while you help bring down ten heroes and manage the danger created by goblin losses.
Is Goblin Rush finished or still in development?
Goblin Rush is released, but Cuprum Legion describes it as a solo-made prototype. That means you can play the current version now, while its compact scope reflects an early experimental project rather than a large, fully expanded game.
