Gobs and Gods is an Indie, Open World, Turn Based Tactics RPG, offering a sort of more approachable Battle Brothers like where you are a god: a god of goblins!

Sort of Battle Brothers like?
Yep!
Gobs and Gods has all the Hex Grid goodness of Battle Brothers, along with attacks of opportunity, and height advantages, making movement tactical and meaningful.
Also, like in Battle Brothers, the death effects on monsters look great; nice and visceral; love it!

Like Battle Brothers, Gobs and Gods has random maps born of Procedural Generation, doing its part to help make sure that each playthrough feels different; good.

A More Approachable Take on Battle Brothers:
I would say that Gobs and Gods is a more approachable Open World Tactics RPG than Battle Brothers, as
unlike Battle Brothers, morale and injures are not as much of a factor here; gobs just heal fast and don’t give a crap!
So, there’s not much of a concern of a warrior abandoning you, or becoming completely useless in a battle, as you are their god, why would they abandon you?!
Also, your gobs can heal in combat, but it drains their essence (your unit’s mp), adding immensely to their survivability.
Additionally, unlike Battle Brothers; there is no per character initiative; here, it is simply your side goes, then the enemy side goes, making the combats more predictable, and letting you choose which gobs act in which order; you’re their god after all!

Also an RPG Dungeon Crawler?
I’d say Gobs and Gods is even more Exploration focused, as unlike Battle Brothers; Gobs and Gods is also a Dungeon Crawler!
You can find dungeons in your journeys across the random world, descending into them with your gobs for experience and treasure, and if you exit a dungeon, the monsters you have killed stay dead; it does not completely reset when you leave like in Daggerfall or Angband; good.

When your gobs lvl; you can pick 1 or 4 upgrades; they seem somewhat random: Max health, Endurance, damage, Agility, ranged attack; it will be one of those each lvl.
Gobs can learn new skills too, but you have to go find someone to train them.
Your god also lvls up over time as you do stuff; letting you be in control of more gobs, or moving faster and seeing further.

Note: This is an Early Access look at the demo for Gobs and Gods so any bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Gobs and Gods is a fun Indie, Open World, Turn Based Tactics RPG offering a more approachable Battle Brothers like where you’re a god: a god of goblins! Madness!
Gobs and Gods is easily well worth a wishlist and a watch.
