Children of Orc

Children of Orc – Je suis désolé, mais ça m’a pas accroché. J’ai essayé, vraiment, mais après 8 minutes de jeu, j’ai pas pu. Le concept est sympa sur le papier, diriger une civilisation d'enfants Orks et explorer une planète, mais les mécanismes de jeu sont tellement lents que c’est juste pas engageant. C’est un mélange de point-and-click et de stratégie en temps réel, mais ça manque d’intensité et d’implication. J’avais l’impression de faire défiler des actions sans grand intérêt. On dirait un de ces jeux mobile bas de gamme qu’on voit à longueur de temps dans les pubs, avec des mécaniques vues et revues. En 2016, peut-être que ça aurait pu tenir la route, mais en 2025, je cherche vraiment quelque chose de plus. Je suis peut-être passé à côté, mais ça manque clairement d'intérêt et de dynamisme. Je suis désolé, mais je passe mon tour.

[h1]Children of a civilization[/h1] [i]Children of Orc[/i] is a civilization-based game where you play as a single character and give orders to various others you free to complete tasks for you...whether it's collecting lumber, collecting stones, building whatever targets you set up, or freeing other prisoners, you basically have a poor man's [i]Pikmin[/i] though far less refined. You're automatically locked with a large world in this version, to unlock the full game, you'll need to buy the "Jumbo Globe" item from the Steam store, which acts as DLC to unlock the full game, including the medium world, jumbo world, and various small worlds that are so insignificant that you either cannot proceed or the game will crash. In order, every playthrough begins with smashing crates, freeing 3 orc children, having them build a sawmill, and only then can you proceed to build bridges and enjoy the rest of the game...missing these requirements will lead you in a broken state where you cannot proceed, leading you to restart your world entirely. Every world is different, assuming you shut the game off then started a new world. If you start a new world without shutting the game off, you'll just reset the current version of the world you already have, which is good if you don't want to deal with new layouts. The objective is to collect the 8 gems (which may as well be chaos emeralds) onto a single space, build a crown, and go into the portal the gems make. This is how you complete a world. The music is calm, but gets annoying. The gameplay is terribly slow, but you can make it more manageable if you're willing to hold the Tab button for hours. The graphics are decent, but mostly below average as they feel like assets purchased and repurposed into a game. As a full package, though, the game provides a decent experience...though the flaws in design as well as crashing don't really help its case. If you manage to get this game running just fine, then I would recommend playing [i]Children of Orc[/i]. It's not an awful game, but it does suffer from some basic game design flaws that are a hindrance to the player. While the item you buy is called the "Jumbo Globe" for $3.50, it is (in reality) a DLC that unlocks the full game, allowing you to alter the size of the planet instead of having the defautt large world. If you're looking for a simple and somewhat calming game, this is for you. If you're an achievement hunter that is bothered that you'll need to pay $3.50 to get your 100% or are worried that the game may crash...or if you're bothered by any of the flaws I already mentioned, then this may not be the game for you. Of course, you'll need to remember that the base game is free. 5/10 Not a bad start, though it's in need of polishing.
