I like the game and since it's only 3 days old I can understand all the crashing. The last time it crashed for me it set me way back in progress by about 10 minutes so I was pretty upset about that. But, other than that the game has a lot of potential. The first thing this game needs is an auto save for every minute. Then I'll play this game a lot more. Another thing it needs is for the custom world options. It would be cool if I could customize each hexagon in particular varying from the height of the shape to what it should have in it so that there could be a more creative aspect to the game.

Not the best game in the world but actually really fun! Im a harsh judge and there is definatly room for improvement but I definatly enjoyed just jumping straight into the game and putting 1 & 1 together. I could sit there and play it for hours... well I just did lol. Can see it becoming reppetative after some time but with a few updates every so often it can be really fun.

Showing a lot of promise, bit buggy atm (think alpha or beta so expect bugs) but the developer is quite active and listens to feedback and responds and is very helpful.

The game itself is simple enough to play, with a nice look & feel to the game that is somewhat relaxing (although the orcs are a little ugly and that scream as your player orc makes as it drops is both creepy and funny at the same time).

Gameplay is very easy, you control an Orc ("player orc" as such) and at first you get dropped on a planet and need to rescue your fellow orcs from prisons then you can ask them to do tasks such as retrieving lumber or stone/etc, and get them to build bridges to other islands or other constructions. With the goal being to collect some gems that are scattered about the place inside crates you can smash. All in all, a simple enough task you'd think but depending on the size of the planet and the resource node locations/etc it could take a while.

A good little casual time waster which I look forward to its development.

Too little content:

1. Goal's are not really stated. I think you probably have to smith a crown and collect all gems (which are in crates lying around). You are supposed to do this as fast as possible because doing it at all is generally easy.
2. This means the only buildings you really need are a sawmill and bridges. The smelter and smithy are only required once for the crown.

Technical problems:
1. Hex tiling: The hex tiling of the sphere is a cool idea. It is also mathematically impossible. Which means there are a bunch of pentagons among those hexagons which will massively derail your bridges if the get too close.
2. Planet view: The entire point of the game is to set up a way for your orcs to get around quickly so you can build bridges fast and get all the crates. However because you can only view a part of the world at once this gets somewhat annoying.
3. To order your orcs around you have to walk to each of them individually which becomes quite annoying and you completely lose track of them pretty fast.


To me this game seems to scratch the same itch as Banished with the latter one being much better but also not free.

I hope this game gets lots of support and attention - it has a lot of unique ideas going for it.

I hope there is more coming with this game. Right now you start as a funny looking orc. You find a few of your brethren orcs trapped and start to free them. This begins building your tribe and, hopefully, your entire civilization.

Right now the game is very simple - point, click, do. It's pretty novel in that you have to command each tribemember by actually walking to them. I thought that would be tough, but it works out well. Good job, Dev!

There aren't a lot of options to build and at least one building I'm still unsure of what it does. However, I think there is a ton of potential with this game. Add some technology research, maybe throw a rival tribe in, and I think we'd have ourselves a fun game.

Otherwise, nice job on the game and I hope to see more!

This is a very good game, its fun and challenging if it could get some more time and effort in it i think it could be perfect.

not working anymore dont buy

I have racked up about 9 hours on this game and completed all achievements.

Children of Orc is a relaxed strategy city builder game.

There are currently bugs and I would be lying if I said this is the best game ever, however it is a nice game to just relax and play and I would say to anyone thinking about playing it, not to expect anything spectacular.

There are still lots of improvements to be made and the game creator is actually willing to help people get to the grips with the game as he did me, which is a rare thing to come by.

In terms of actual strategy and city building, it isn't particularly in depth and there is definite room for improvement.

I would, however, recommend this to anyone who is just looking for a nice, little, relaxed game to spend a little bit of time on and who isn't fussy.

And hey, it's free :)

not very polished game and the required item to get 100% achievements is a price point that I can't understand.

If you like to be cildren of the orc's this is game for you!
