Sir, We Have an Orc Problem

A mixed, snacky little 5h experience. I rlly disliked that, in a game where u grind upgrades, the last few levels are just a wall that u can't grind past. I'm an adult, so I won't downvote over it. But my final experiences were frustration and annoyance, and despite having played 5 hours and enjoyed 4 of those hours, I'm afraid that's how I'll remember the game: frustrating and annoying.

left me wanting more great stuff

Often I find horde-shooters to be very underwhelming. Like "oh wow look, 30 enemies, that's... cool I guess..." and Earth Defence Force 4.1 is the closest I've played to what I feel is a *proper* horde-shooter. "Sir, We Have An Orc Problem" made me realise I haven't played a proper tower defence game. While I haven't played very many tower defence games, this game has made me realise the ones I have played are the equivalent of every horde-shooter I've played other than EDF. ♥♥♥♥ yes I want 40,000 enemies on my screen, ♥♥♥♥ yes I want to see them all melt as they try to breach my firing line, thank you SWHAOP The reason I mention horde-shooters is because this game doesn't have any special tanky enemies or bosses to dilute the swarm. It's just a pure horde. There's no MOABs, no Bile Titans, no Dreadnoughts, nothing that could water down the fight. It's purely fodder enemies until there are so many fodder enemies that it's a challenge again. Some orcs in this game do have more health than others but isn't super noticeable unless you're already sort of scraping by in terms of damage. Only downside is that it's a bit short. There's not a massive amount of levels, but I wouldn't want there to be more unless more turrets and upgrades were added as well since then it would just feel like padding. It cost me ~10AUD and gave me ~9 hours until I got every achievement. I might not think that dollar to hour ratio is worth it for every game but this one it definitely was.

I don't usually write reviews but this has been pretty fun so far, sure its a bit grindy and the graphics are simple but, it has been an incredibly fun game so far, I enjoy seeing the hordes of orcs mowed down, if you have been waiting for a game where you fight a horde of enemy's this is the game for you,

just a nicely balanced turret game. Does what it says it does.

Great game I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't much new content compared to the demo, but it's still well worth the price and a lot of fun. I hope future updates add a results screen that compares your latest run to your previous attempt, or even saves damage statistics across all runs. That would make tracking progress much more satisfying.
