Overview
PESKY ORCS! plunges players into the heart of medieval fantasy warfare, pitting the ancient foes of orcs and humans against each other. As the commander of the human forces, your role transcends direct control. Instead, you strategically guide your troops across the battlefield, where they engage enemies automatically. Your primary focus is on survival and enhancement: directing your soldiers to evade incoming projectiles, traps, and devastating spells, all while you personally activate powerful magic and gather valuable loot like coins and diamonds.
Highlights
