Union of Gnomes was released last month in Early Access, garnering “Mostly Positive” reviews on Steam so far. I haven’t tried it yet, but the developer decided to make a demo available during Gamescom, giving everyone a chance to try out this roguelite where players lead a group of Gnomes against famous fairy tale characters like Snow White, Pinocchio, and many others… Yeah, it does sound pretty weird, but the game seems to be a lot of fun.
The developer, Hoolignomes, also shared details on the Steam page about a new map and enemies included in the upcoming update. Below is an overview and early access trailer.
About This Game
Behold a quirky fairy tale set in the revolutionary times of a far far away kingdom.
Embark on the challenging journey to lead the gnome’s uprising, stand against Snow White’s oppressive rule, assemble your liberation forces, and bring freedom to this land.
Free your gnome comrades to bolster your squad with the best freedom fighters. Experiment with the lineup to reveal powerful synergies and combos with 130 cards that will either hit, poison, weaken, blind your enemies, or get your gnomes drunk…
Pick one of three plucky gnome heroes with unique traits, distinctive decks, and special abilities to slay the slavers. Enhance them between game runs to perfect your build.
Take down the ferocious enemies from different fairy tales, including the Red Hood, Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, or Snow White herself. Mind your foes’ positioning and get the upper hand by using devastating effects, like destroying their spirit by showing them a tiny gnome’s butt.
