ORCS is an action-platformer about a dude taking out a bunch of orcs. Beat it in a little under 2 hours using a game controller. Difficulty is hard. The graphics are pixelly, the music catchy, and the sword swinging pretty fluid. There are some typos in the cutscenes, but it's forgivable. You will die a lot. I was in RAGE over the lava level. ORC BAD!!! Anyway, it's well worth the price for what you get.

ORCS is a retro-style action platformer developed and published by Pixel vs Pixel that embraces classic arcade-era design philosophies with confidence. Built around precise movement, difficult enemy encounters, and straightforward progression, the game feels like a deliberate tribute to older generations of side-scrolling action games that valued mechanical skill above accessibility. Rather than chasing modern trends...

Yelled at orc, he brought beer. Spilled drink, became potion. Built base from bones, neighbors jealous. Finished sunrise, woke up beardier, axe in fridge.

I couldnt play it for more than 20 minutes, my eyes hurt so much just looking at it with the terrible 2D graphics ❌❌ Verdict: Terrible , Bad , Mediocre , Decent , Good , Very Good (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games and similar) If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page:CuratorKingViking and on my group: GroupKingViking If you have any questions...

Let me start by saying this game is just AWESOME. I've been waiting for this game for quite some time now, been following it since it was out on greenlight, and I have to tell you, I'm so glad it's finally out! This game brings back the 8bit platformer nostalgia to a whole new level! If you played DOS and 8bit games when you were just a kid, and enjoyed them ofcourse, then this game if just for you! So after that...

Nice game for a one guy developer/publisher. The game trailer made me buy this game, but once I started playing it, it was fun and I immediately finished it. It's not to say that it's short, it's just that I'm a pro in difficult platforming games ha-ha. However, I would advise to turn off the music and just listen to something else (e.g. audiobook, podcast or your own music)....

For the 49 cents that i payed for this game, its well worth it. played this together with a friend and finished it witha a single night of about 4h of gameplay, some parts were ridicoulously hard and at times it felt like we were losing our sanity but it was a good game so i recomend.

I've thought that i was going to like this game but its too hard to enjoy it. If you would have 5 lives instead of 3 it would be perfect. I don't know if i recomend this game or not,if you like hard retro games than play it.

I quite enjoyed this game for what it was. Sure, there are some things about it that aren't perfect mechanically, and it could certainly use some work. I bought this with the intention of wanting to support an indy developer as I am attempting to go through the same process. I played this game through to the end taking a little less than two hours, plus some time just messing around inside the game for fun. Pros: -...
