Our take on There Are No Orcs
The page emphasizes endless armies, replay value, and unusual army combinations, but the core battle interaction is auto-battling rather than direct unit control. The scope presented is a focused combat strategy game built around runs, placement, and counters.
What is There Are No Orcs?
There Are No Orcs mixes real-time strategy with roguelike expeditions, grid construction, and automatically fighting units.
Select Humans, Demons, or Dwarves, then arrange structures across tiles to create gold or military forces. Certain layouts grant synergy effects, and every faction handles its structures in a distinct manner. The roster contains 30 commanders, each offering triggered abilities, enduring characteristics, and a set of four faction-specific structures. Each expedition focuses on experimenting with troop lineups and responding to enemy counters across plains, desert, scorched earth, or tundra. Armies can include vast skeleton forces or coordinated aerial and ground attacks, culminating in the top-tier Chaos difficulty.
