About the game

Goblin Gladiators is a free-to-play battle arena by Runes Studio, published by Jetpack Collective. Teams of goblin fighters — Sagittarius the archer, Secutor the warrior and Dimachaerus the assassin — brawl in an arena while a deadly fog closes in. It is in Early Access on PC.

Runes Studio called on us to create some of the VFX for Goblin Gladiators, adding extra punch and fun to its chaotic arena battles.
