Of Orcs And Men Reviews

You can throw a goblin at enemies like a javelin.

WORTH IT. ANOTHER GREAT GAME. ONLY COST ME 1.09

Well, I paid $1.09 for a game that I enjoyed more than 70% of games I've played in the last decade. Definitely an underrated gem. Story is fantastic, combat is that healthy level of jank, and it's just a well done game. Props

There's something special about this game, sure the graphics could be considered probably outdated at this point, but the characters, the story, the plot, the choices that you make, they matter and they all lead up to a big finale that you genuinely feel like you are a part of, you affect the lives of the people in this game and you can feel the impact as you play it. It's certainly not like Styx: MoS or Styx: SoD where you only take control of the goblin, Styx himself, but a control between two characters who grow to be a lot more than just who we are first introduced to as, they grow as people and grow as a character to their world and surroundings that are changing or coming of change, it's an impactful story that I've taken really to heart and ended up loving so much, no less the fact of a rather surprising ending and cutscene. I cannot express any further how much I hope this game get's it's deserved sequel some day, although thankfully it does appear a 'sort of presequel' is due in the form of Styx: Blades of Greed. The gameplay style on the other hand is rather unique or more it's something I hadn't really encountered often in many games, aside from the usual switching between characters, there's some paths you can lead either of them down in choices of playstyle of your choice, you get to choose how to play them and however you play them could lead to your victory or your demise, it's a generally tough game yet at the same time it's really hard to put it down even if you encounter moments that are hard to get past and make you frustrated. Haven't really encountered any bugs or glitched out moments, it's generally bug free with a few exploits and work around for a high ground, literally, especially when you gain the chance to throw Styx at enemies on higher areas. Overall this will always be the ultimate fantasy game for me, nothing else can top how much I enjoy- no- how much I love the story and characters in this, I can't wait for the day as I play to achieve 100% on it, I'm passionate to get this game finished to the fullest alongside the other Styx games. 10/10 Love Cyanide Studios, make more Of Orcs and Men and continue in the name of Styx! Best goblin ever. I'm glad I bought the games at full price to support the chance for more. -From an utter loot Goblin.

Plays fine on Steam Deck if you change mouse and keyboard to gamepad in the in-game settings. ..... About the game: It's in real-time with pause. The levels are almost entirely linear, there is some stealth which helps you a lot before battles and is an obvious inspiration for the more recent games in this universe (Styx: Master of Shadows, Shards of Darkness, and soon Blades of Greed). If you've beaten Styx 1 and 2 and are itching for more Styx story and gameplay, this can scratch the itch somewhat. We pñay as two characters; Styx and alsp an Orc. It's really not my gameplay style but I found a way to mostly enjoy it. If it's on sale and you really want more Styx lore, then yes I recommend it. If you're not interested, the one thing you should know that is not mentioned in the other games: Rakash is actually a slur from the orc language. I recommend playing on easy or normal.
