Screenshots

From the Steam store

The orc horde marches on your kingdom. Your walls are all that stand between them and ruin.

Humans vs Orcs is a fast-paced incremental strategy game where you recruit units, upgrade your forces between waves, and unleash devastating abilities to push back an ever-growing orc invasion. Each run sharpens your army with permanent upgrades, unlocks new mercenaries, and pushes you deeper into a campaign that escalates from goblin skirmishes to dragon-led sieges.

Easy to pick up, brutal to master.

BUILD YOUR ARMY

Recruit a varied roster of human soldiers and elite mercenaries — swordsmen, archers, knights, wizards, priests, werewolves, vampires, and more. Each unit has distinct abilities like blocking, charging, cleaving, healing, and lifesteal. Build the perfect composition to counter every threat.

SURVIVE THE ORC HORDE

Battle a wide range of orc enemies across multiple themed factions — green orcs, frost raiders, infernal warriors, and elite bosses. Every wave hits harder. Every boss demands a new strategy. Special wall waves force you to adapt or die.

CONQUER DRAGONS

Devastating dragon attacks soar across the battlefield raining fire on your troops. Unlock Dragon Wards to survive their onslaught, or use the Dragon Horn to delay the inevitable.

EXPLORE EVOLVING BATTLEFIELDS

Fight across hand-crafted pixel art maps that shift as the campaign deepens — green fields, murky swamps, frozen wastes, scorched warzones, hellscapes, and arcane moonlit ruins.

PRESTIGE AND GROW

Earn Skulls each run and spend them in the War Council on Legacy upgrades and unit recruitment. Every defeat makes you stronger. Unlock new units, boost your economy, and push deeper into the orc onslaught.

ACTIVATE ABILITIES

Trigger powerful active abilities mid-battle — Rain of Arrows, Rally Cry, Dragon Horn, and Gold Rush. Time them right to turn the tide.
