“A brilliant little throwback shooter. Made with the care of a typical new blood game. Short, fun and worth the price 10/10”

“This game was a whole lot of fun. I played through pretty quickly on my first run, realizing later that there were so many hidden things that I missed. I will definitely put more hours into this game to discover as much…”
“Short and simple, but solidly done. A quick injection of oldschool shooter vibes with some good gags and a bit of replayability.”
“Another simple, tight experience from David Szymanski. It's got a fun theme, enjoyable weapons with great audio, solid levels, and a nice little soundtrack. It's very short, maybe a touch short for the price, but it…”

“Great boomer shooter with good gameplay, music and much enemy variety. Support David he has made some incredible games”
“I really enjoyed this. Short, simple shooter that's effective and joyful. It's silly and the combat is challenging and diverse. Level design is interesting and even somewhat nostalgic. Considering Szymanski's other…”

“So when are we getting a full length feature film for this masterpiece”
“Silly short and has its moments. If you want to play an unserious fps this is a good one.”
“[url=https://youtu.be/JcwuC8nlNJI]Dracula's Castle. Here's the best reason to get this. Why? It's basically Deusanavit's brain back in the last four months of 2020 distilled into a video game level. So yeah, quite…”

“Don't underestimate this game, despite how terrible it looks it was oddly challenging and super fun. Honestly, hell yeah! edit - oh my god goblin mode is way too hard”
“perfect the only problem is green goblin ranged attack needs smaller hit box - it lowers difficulty when their ranged hits doors and walls”
“While shooters are not normally my taste, I enjoyed this one as it was fun and silly, and it was honestly not hard at all on easier difficulties (the final achievement was tricky, though). The music is actually really…”

“actually really fun. You'll probably enjoy it if you like old-school doom. I doubt it'll ever happen, but this game would become a million times better if it got workshop support.”

“a boomer shooter where i cant jump? Remove my ability to shoot while you're at it. Take away my keyboard, too. Why not have my car keys while you're at it. Bang my wife as well, go right ahead. Worthless product.”

“The game is simple but fun. It's all about killing or getting killed. It's short, but considering its low price, it seems fair enough.”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“Chop Goblins compresses the retro FPS formula into a small package, where a simple premise justifies the adventure without needing more. Each level sends you after Gremlins-like Goblins in different time periods and unique locations. Enemies primarily use blades, and having them…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Really fun. Reminds me of the fun I had when first playing Serious Sam. Quite short, but it's full enough of stuff to excuse it. Though it would be really nice to see it extended further, using its enemies and design it has thus far, for more dynamics in levels. Still, quite…”
