Goblin Vyke The Thief Tycoon is a game that blends genres, with the goblin protagonist forced to balance criminal nighttime forays with legitimate commerce. At night, the character explores labyrinthine dungeons, attempting to evade guards and reach the Demon Lord's treasures. Successful sabotage depends on learning patrol routes and cleverly exploiting the environment. Progress in exploration is ensured by gradually unlocking abilities specific to Metroidvania, allowing access to inaccessible and valuable storage areas.
