Game overview
Goblin Sushi blends roguelike fun and restaurant chaos as you craft bizarre sushi for picky goblins while battling rising rent.
Goblin Sushi blends the thrilling unpredictability of roguelike gameplay with the chaotic fun of managing a quirky restaurant—and naturally, you play as a goblin crafting sushi for fellow goblins. Dive into a vibrant world where quick reflexes and sharp strategy come together as you roll an extensive variety of sushi creations made from unconventional goblin cave ingredients, including wriggling caterpillars, slimy slugs, crunchy chicken heads, and freshly mashed toads.
Your clientele? A colorful assortment of whimsical goblin characters, each with their own tastes and temperaments. From the elderly Granny Goblin to the messy Trash Goblin, eerie Ghost Goblin, and even the pungent Poop Goblin, each customer challenges you to meet their unique preferences. They’re notoriously impatient and particular, demanding speedy service and perfect dishes to keep them coming back for more.
As you progress, you can enhance every aspect of your goblin sushi joint. Upgrade your dining area, expand your menu with fantastic new recipes, and most critically, boost your financial gains. Experiment by mixing powerful sushi combinations to delight your customers, turbocharge your rice cooker to speed up production, or embrace the wild side by serving some downright bizarre dishes—like those infamous poop rolls that surprisingly have their own fanbase!
Of course, even in this chaotic goblin world, reality bites: the landlord is relentless. Rent is due every couple of minutes, creeping upward with relentless inflation, putting pressure on your entrepreneurial skills. Strive to pay your dues and stay afloat—or swipe your claws together as the debt piles up, risking eviction as the clock ticks down.
Finally, don’t forget to flaunt your successes! Show off your skyrocketing sales numbers, highlight your top-selling sushi rolls, and boast about your ingenious combo strategies. Whether you’re a goblin sushi novice or a master in the making, Goblin Sushi offers a wildly entertaining blend of fast-paced cooking action and strategic upgrades that will keep you rolling for hours. Embrace the madness and serve up some delectable goblin delights!

Goblin Sushi is indie roguelike cooking game where you run a sushi bar for goblins with deck-building chaos mixed and fast-paced restaurant management
Who should play it:
• Fans of roguelike deck-building strategies
• Players who like cooking and management games
• Anyone who likes quick runs and just wants to zone out or kill tim
Who should skip it:
• Players looking for a relaxed cozy cooking sim
• People who dislike time pressure or fast mouse gameplay
• Players prefer long and slow paced strategy
Genre: Roguelike cooking simulator / deckbuilder
Similar to: Balatro
Platform(s): PC, iOS, Android
Difficulty: Medium
Beginner friendly: Yes, but gets intense quickly
Learning curve: Hard
Game length / replayability: Very high, each run is different thanks to upgrades and random events
Monetization model: Paid, but buy once and you will get the full game.
Performance and bugs: Runs stable with ongoing updates planned
Gameplay
Play as a goblin trying to become the best sushi chef in a cave full of hungry, odd gobbos. Cook and serve using cave ingredients: slugs, chicken heads, and freshly blended toads, caterpillars. Build combos to increase dish prices, earn more money, and pay rent. The restaurant close if rent isn’t paid. Special cards add a roguelike twist. Cards that speed up rice cooking, refresh ingredients, or allow skipping cleanup after diners. There are three special goblins, not customers, but merchants. The Trash Goblin, who removes cards. The Merchant Goblin, who sells upgrades and new cards. And the Evil Demon, my favourite, who throws cursed cards that can completely flip your run. For example, one card can turn your entire menu into rice.
Graphics & Sound
Goblin Sushi has cute cartoon art and well-designed, unique gobbos. The soundtrack and sound effects perfectly match the gameplay. NYUM NYUM NYUM!
Pros
- Extremely replayable roguelike structure
- Strategic upgrades and wild run-changing modifiers
- Big range of fancy sushi with goblin-tastic ingredients
- Active development with new content planned
Cons
- Currently limited locations (only one restaurant at the moment)
- High pressure gameplay may feel stressful
I have absolutely been addicted to it ever since I started playing. In my opinion, the game is definitely worth buying: with planned updates and the unique nature of every run, it will never get boring. If you like chaotic strategy games with high replayability, this one is absolutely worth your time.
