Our take on Sir, We Have an Orc Problem
The huge-orc premise suggests a broad, escalating defense challenge, but the game is explicitly short. Its main structure is repeated tower defense runs with resources carried into turret upgrades, rather than a long campaign or wider strategy simulation.
What is Sir, We Have an Orc Problem?
Defend a base against tens of thousands of advancing orcs in a short tower defense game with incremental-style progression.
Each run provides resources, whether it ends in victory or defeat, which can be spent unlocking and improving turrets through a large upgrade tree. Combat includes guns, bombs, lasers, strafing runs, orbital lasers, and nuclear attacks for dealing with large groups or surviving dangerous moments. The game centers on repeated runs, resource investment, and increasingly capable defenses against overwhelming enemy numbers.
