ORC Vengeance
SCORE: 68
As one of the off-site reviewers the WMG
loves to get codes for challenging games. ORC Vengeance is the closest
game to Dungeon Siege this reviewer has ever seen on the iPhone/iPod
Touch/iPad platform. We play as Rok, the Orc Warchief on a quest for
vengeance in this lengthy RPG adventure. Humans have been slaughtered
and it is up to the Orcs to save this dark fantasy world. ORC Vengeance
is not for the weak of heart. We are playing a bad guy who is fighting
off even worse creatures.
You may hear that ORC Vengeance has stunning graphics. The details in
ORC Vengeance are fantastic. Which actually hurts it on the Family
Friendly Gaming review scale. The blood, gore, and lengthy violence is
there in frightening detail. The game itself sets a dark tone. Getting
outside and seeing lightning was a wonderful visual effect.
Dealing with skeletons, zombies, and other fantasy creatures of the
night can take their toll. ORC Vengeance is marinated with these
monsters. Bosses are super monsters that take even longer to defeat. The
music fits the moody nature of this game, and the humor is also dark in
certain areas of this hand held game.
ORC Vengeance has thousands of items the player can find. The best part
of ORC Vengeance is finding better armor and weapons. Players are given
all kinds of freedom in terms of how they level up their nasty ugly Orc
warrior. ORC Vengeance goes on an on in terms of areas. What players
have to do does not change though.
The worst part of ORC Vengeance is the battles. We run into areas where
hordes of monsters come after us. The goal is hack and slash them as
quickly as possible. This is done by tapping on the enemy. This control
method is easy to pick up and easy to use. The problem comes in when the
player does not see an enemy in the dark areas. Then your character can
die. Your character will not defend himself when being attacked. He
takes it until he can not take it anymore. He has no self defense
mechanism.
Playing ORC Vengeance feels strange. We take on the role of a bad guy to
take out even worse guys. The moral and ethical lines feel off. Violent
gamers will eat up ORC Vengeance. This game is a major milestone for the
iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad platform. This game is close to PC quality gaming
from a few years ago. It is only a matter of time for games on this
platform to catch, and then maybe surpass the PC.
