Dark, Dirty Fantasy – Goblinko’s Retro ‘Dungeon Degenerates: The Battle For Brüttelburg’ Hits Kickstarter

Goblinko has launched a Kickstarter campaign for their very first video game, Dungeon Degenerates: The Battle For Brüttelburg. The mind-blowing dark fantasy/beat-em-up RPG with 8-bit retro styling comes from the mind of Sean Äaberg.

Follow juvenile delinquent Salt, the runt of the gang who has been thrown in the dungeon of the ancient, seething Fortress City Brüttelburg. To get his low life back on track, he works with different eccentric, underworld characters, various gangs, social clubs, neighborhood associations and monsters, all to make his way to the top of the city with an idea of who is pulling the strings.  

In addition to art, concept, and design by Sean Äaberg, Dungeon Degenerates: The Battle For Brüttelburg features design by Chris Perry, music by The Funky Worm, and is produced by Katie Äaberg.

“After the fifth printing of GOBLINKO’s hit indie board game, Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom, I wanted to create something new,” said Sean Äaberg. “Dungeon Degenerates: The Battle For Brüttelburg defies genres but uses a variety of elements to bring a unique, narrative-heavy gaming experience. Taking place in the in-depth, full-flavor world of Goblinko, I can’t wait for the people to get their hands on it!”

Goblinko’s eleventh Kickstarter is just over 20% funded, with 26 days remaining in the campaign. Backer rewards kick in at the $25 level for a digital copy of the game and manual. At the $50 pledge level, backers also receive a physical deluxe box package. Pixel art portraits, TBFB desktop backgrounds, pendants, minifigs, and assorted mentions in the game itself are available at higher tiers. Check out the campaign at this link.
