Evaluation

There Are No Orcs launched its full version on November 5, 2025 at $8.99. The store page carries an explicit developer commitment: "We're Not Done Yet! We'll keep rolling out new content, squashing bugs, and generally trying to make this game even more awesome for you." Before launch, the developer published a roadmap on June 6, 2025 that specifically listed planned free post-launch updates: more relics, more commanders, more universal buildings per faction, more Whims, and a Survival Mode. Since launch, the developer has followed through consistently: feature and bug-fix patches shipped on November 13 and November 19, 2025; an equipment filtering UI update arrived on December 4, 2025; and on January 21, 2026, the promised Survival Mode was added as a new game mode. That January 2026 patch is the last developer communication on record (as of today, September 24, 2026), roughly 8 months ago. The pre-launch roadmap listed several other items beyond Survival Mode — more relics, commanders, and buildings — that have not been confirmed as shipped. The developer has not posted any statement declaring development or post-launch updates to be concluded. However, developer communications have gone quiet since January 21, 2026, which is a notably long gap given the active cadence seen from November 2025 through January 2026 (roughly one meaningful update per month). This silence is enough to move the assessment from confidently ongoing to a more cautious read, but not enough to override the still-standing developer commitment and unresolved roadmap items. The game continues to be actively sold with the "Not Done Yet" language still on the store page, and no completion statement has been made.

Evidence

Patch added the promised Survival Mode as a new game mode, along with balance changes and bug fixes. This is the most recent developer communication on record.

We're Not Done Yet!

We'll keep rolling out new content, squashing bugs, and generally trying to make this game even more awesome for you. Thanks for the incredible support!

"There Are No Orcs" is a combat strategy game that blends Roguelike elements, tile-building, and auto-battling.

Take command of one of three factions: Humans, Demons, and Dwarves.

Strategically place buildings on tiles to produce a massive, endless army.

Forge an unstoppable front line and smash the enemy's base to smithereens!

Combine, Place, and Profit!

Strategically place buildings to automatically produce gold or combat units. Maximize efficiency by leveraging synergy bonuses based on placement.

Each faction's buildings work in completely different ways. Not all strategies are created equal... but they're all fun to break!

Commanders Who Actually Do Something

Choose from 30 unique commanders, each with their own active skills, passive traits, and four exclusive buildings.

Pick your commander based on your favorite tactical style... or maybe just because you think they look cool. We won't judge.

Extremely High Replay Value

Every run is a new tactical experiment. Feel like flooding the battlefield with an endless skeleton horde? Or perhaps launching a combined air-ground assault with elite dinosaurs is more your speed? Go on, try a strategy they haven't thought of!

Forge Your Legion, Test Your Mettle

Master the counter system to assemble the ultimate army. Battle across four distinct terrains—plains, desert, scorched earth, and tundra—and push your skills to the limit in the ultimate trial: Chaos difficulty.

(It's the kind of challenge where the developers might have just thrown in some... creative numbers to keep you on your toes. You've been warned.)
