Publisher's description of Hordes of Orcs 1.1.2

From Freeverse:

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, you're 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 you'll get some cash (like pinatas, Orcs are full of candy and money as everybody knows).

Remember, certain Orcs are resistant to certain Towers, (Fire cant hurt the Orcs in Red for example), so a combination of Towers is your best bet. Clicking on a marching Orc will show you that Orcs health and special properties.

Version 1.1.2 includes unspecified enhancements and bug fixes.

Editor's review of Hordes of Orcs 1.1.2

5.0 stars

When it comes to Tower Defense games, you'll have a hard time finding one better than Hordes of Orcs for Mac. The makers of great Mac games, Freeverse Software, have done it again with this fun and funny version of popular Tower Defense online games. A few different game types are available, but the overall concept remains the same: Use weapons towers to stop the bad guys from crossing the screen. The added feature of being able to cast spells like Fog to slow down the onslaught and Teleport to send especially difficult enemies back to the start make this game even better than traditional games in this genre. Slick-looking graphics with the ability to zoom in on the action in 3D only adds to the fun. If you're a desktop defense fan who is looking for the next level of this genre, check out Hordes of Orcs.

"interesting game, but ..."

by yellowlizard on February 18, 2008

Pros: It seemed like it could be entertaining.

Cons: It *does* have a limitation: the trial is only playable for 60 minutes. (Unlike what the description above says!)
