Goblin Buster: Incremental Tower Defense combines wave defense with incremental progression. Players begin with basic archer towers, then fight goblin hordes and collect materials for research. Its central appeal is a loop where each run contributes to longer-term growth rather than standing alone.
Upgrades are meant to shape strategy, while research opens up new towers, abilities and resource production. A branching skill tree adds room to pursue different paths and synergies, giving players several ways to develop their defenses as tougher enemies arrive. The focus is not simply on placing towers, but on experimenting with what each new unlock can do.
The game is listed as single-player, so its play format centers on individual progression and tactical choices rather than a shared match.
