Enjoy Playing FNF Vs. Tricky: Banbuds Goblin Files
Ever stumbled onto a Friday Night Funkin’ mod that somehow feels both familiar and totally off-the-wall? That’s exactly what happens when you boot up FNF Vs. Tricky: Banbud’s Goblin Files. At its core, it still plays like the classic rhythm showdown you know—arrow prompts flying at you in time with the beat—but the whole vibe is drenched in this mischievous goblin detective theme. Tricky shows up not as the usual clown king, but as the ringleader of a ragtag crew of goblin sidekicks (the Banbuds), and each stage feels like you’re crashing their clandestine hideouts.
The custom tracks are the real star here. You get three new songs that progressively get crazier—starting with a bouncy opener where you’re just matching goblin chants, then sliding into a mid-boss tune that switches time signatures every few bars, and finally an all-out duel where every note feels like a vibration in your skull. The visuals go all in, too: crooked, moss-covered stone walls, flickering torchlight, and these sly little goblin scouts peering from the shadows. There’s even a secret fourth track that unlocks if you hit certain combo thresholds, which adds a neat layer of challenge for anyone chasing 100% completion.
What really makes it click is how it balances that familiar FNF muscle-memory gameplay with fresh quirks. The Banbuds are constantly chatter-boxing in the background, and there are random on-screen effects—like goblin footprints tripping you up if you miss too many notes. It’s honestly a blast, and while the charts can get brutal on Expert mode, that’s part of the draw: you feel like you’re infiltrating some underground goblin syndicate using only your singing skills. If you’re down for a slightly curious twist on the usual Funkin’ formula, this one’s definitely worth the spin.
