Product Description:

Hordes of Orcs is a Tower Defense game in which you must build walls and lethal towers to defend your village from the Orcs emerging from, what the village elders call, The Glowing Portal of Really Bad Things That We Should Have Bricked-Up a Long Time Ago. Sadly, the Portal is un-bricked and the Orcs are very, very hungry. If 20 Orcs make it to your village, youre toast.

To kill the Orcs, buy some Towers. Arrow Towers are cheap and weak, Radiation towers are expensive and deadly. Each Tower has its own unique abilities, and each tower can be upgraded to do more damage or to have more range. Click on a tower to see its stats and upgrade cost. Should you build lots of Arrow Towers? Or a few Fire Towers? Well, thats where the strategy comes in!

Each time you kill an Orc youll get some cash (like pinatas, Orcs are full of candy and money as everybody knows).

Hordes of Orcs is proud to use the +7systems Balance Engine to collect game-play information. The more info the Balance Engine collects, the better future versions of Hordes of Orcs can be tweaked, resulting in an awesome game only getting better. Only game-play information is transmitted back while you play Hordes of Orcs. At no time do we access any personal information (unless you count doing 683 damage to an Orc personal). You can opt out of this at any time. Click on Options in the main menu, select Other, and un-check the *Participate in +7 Balance Engine?* option.

Hordes of Orcs Troubleshooting ReportOdd behaviour - Version: 1.1.3, 4/16/2008 07:53AM PST

I have found that sometimes the main GUI stops working (buttons loose roll-overs and can not be selected), resulting in having to restart the application. The last scenario off capture the flag tells me I lose even if I am still keeping the orcs from running off with the treasure chest! That certainly can not be right.

Hordes of Orcs ReviewNot bad - Version: 1.1.3, 4/2/2008 05:26PM PST

The graphics and style of play are good. The only significant problem I have seen is that once there are many Orcs on the game field, the moving around with the mouse gets sluggish and clicking on buttons becomes difficult to control due to lag time with on-screen rendering. This is running with a G4 800 and over a gig of RAM too.

If this lag could be remedied, it would be quite a decent game.
