goblinAmerica Brings Bizarre Presidential History and Movement Shooter Chaos to Early Access
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
goblinAmerica has launched into early access on PC, offering a high-speed movement shooter set in a surreal, flesh-and-bone alternative USA where players control goblin reincarnations of US Presidents.
If you have ever wanted to rocket-jump through an alternative United States built entirely from kaiju innards, your specific niche has finally been answered. Developer Gil Lawson has launched goblinAmerica into PC early access, bringing a fast-paced movement shooter that warps American presidential history into something deeply grotesque. Players take on the role of a goblin reincarnation of every US President, starting with a tutorial mission starring George Washington and moving into scenarios like Abraham Lincoln dodging assassination before exploring a surreal, flesh-and-bone cityscape.
Reporting from Rock Paper Shotgun, News Editor Edwin Evans-Thirlwell notes that the game leans hard into a surreal, stomach-turning aesthetic reminiscent of titles like Cruelty Squad and Sluggish Morss. The world is packed with bizarre imagery, from cars molded out of pancake batter to dialogue delivered by a haunted gas mask wearing a Tudor ruff. While early previews suggest the gameplay relies on high-speed sliding, rocket-jumping, and agility-based secrets, critics point out that the real question is whether the chaotic shock value will develop into something with lasting mechanical purpose.
For players who live on the weirder side of indie Steam releases, goblinAmerica is available right now in early access alongside a playable demo. It joins a growing movement of underground PC shooters that trade polished corporate sheen for unfiltered artistic weirdness. Whether its rancid roll call of historical figures can sustain a full campaign remains to be seen, but it is certainly carving out a distinct space on player wishlists this week.
