Of Orcs and Men review
Meh
by MeZev

This game combines elements that don’t work together. Look: tactical combat from Dragon Age (nothing new but OK), dumb AI to play with and just more and more corridors on every level. It’s not just boring - it’s hard to play and enjoy. While the story itself is interesting and the characters are good, even supported by nice graphics it doesn’t become exceptional and worthy to try.

There are two good things about this. The main menu theme and the fact that it spawned the Styx games
The main menu theme gets you hyped up for what is ultimately an atrocious mess of a game

I've already played the Game on the XBOX and I have to say it's also a lot of Fun on the PC. The Voices I find well chosen and tickle you over and over a smile on the Cheeks-graphics and Sound are very neat, the Implementation to the PC has also been done well, although not all graphic settings can be changed in-game. But that does not Detract from the Game ... It's just Fun, plays very varied and above all completely unusual (good)! Switching between characters is playfully well implemented and Distributing the Points in the Talent Tree should be well considered to adjust the Skills of his Style of play. For less than €30! There is a Lot of Fun and I didn't regret any Euros!! 8/10

A very exciting Role set with tactically demanding Real-time Battles with slow motion mode. Is exactly like the Game of Thrones RPG. Story is top and offers not only some Decision options but also a few side quests, hose Levels are rather mediocre (Consoles let greet), the Fights again more exciting thanks to various attack and Defense Manoeuvres. The Graphics are also rather just lightened Console Stuff, often the Environment is still quite nicely made. Control is definitely catchy and very well successful, as I said is a very tactical Role-playing Game, not an action RPG! For example, as Styx, you can quietly meddle many Enemies in Advance, then it will also be easier to kill the Rest of the Units. On the lightest Of the 3 Difficulty Levels, every story lover should be able to pack the Game without too much Trouble, even if they rather avoid tactical Fights. Just because of the great unused Story you should buy the Game in the Deal!

Of Orcs And Men; 15 Hours Of Fun for just 3 Currency units in the Sale. That is why I also liked the Game, which for this Prize is offered a good Story and something a good thing. Many have faulted the Combat System, I guess, because they expected something completely different. Here it is so that you switch back and forth between the Orc and the Goblin And give them up to 4 Commands, which are then processed beautifully in Turn. If you want to test your Skill in the "hau as fast as possible" on the Keys, you won't enjoy The Game. For the more strategically inspired jdeoch, the Combat System has something to offer (each for the Orc and the Goblin 3 Different trees), whereby you can freely choose Whether to slow down the Chequel and then give the Commands or assign the Actions to quick buttons. Of Course, the Game also has its Weaknesses. Unfortunately, one only Has hose levels and Boxes to loot is also rarely found, in addition, the Opponents do not get stronger towards the end and thus the Challenge is missing from The Moment. But something little Spoiler, who ever wanted to know where the Goblins come > in this Game it is told ^^ only this is worth a 3 ... If you want to have a first little Impression you can of course like to watch my Stream recording on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=etHr4Ducr8I

This game could be better with an open world and more gearing options. Now it’s only interesting to play it once. Still, I spent more than 10 hours in it and it was great! I think Of Orcs and Men is a really nice try - but maybe next time the developers will change their approach a little.
