Hi everyone!

We are proud to present a new demo of ORX. This new version of the game contains a tremendous amount of new content as well as some significant gameplay improvements. It's easy to get lost in all of this; so we provide you with a complete list of what's been added or reworked. Let's get started!


— Now orxes have battle cards of their own! They can and will play several cards during the fight, drastically changing the situation on the battlefield. There are some cards with minor effects, but many of those are ridiculously strong and are even able to change the behavior and the attack patterns of orxes.




— We've added a lot of really cool artifacts with powerful effects to the game. The goal is to make the player experience much more diverse than before.



— We've completely reworked the Corruption system and the process of getting new cards in general. Now it's more straightforward and intuitive: you can always understand what you get and why, and you also have more control over this process.



— The campaign balance has been reworked as well. Our aim was to give players relevant options to choose from at every step of the game. Now the reward system feels more organic and is much easier to understand than before.



— We've added a lot of new cards to the game — now you have a lot more options of what to build and upgrade.



— The demo features a new version of the UI — with a new mini-map and Corruption indicators. We’ve worked really hard to improve the clarity and readability of the interface.




— We've implemented a new progression system: now you get special SPARKS points at the end of each battle. You can spend those to unlock new cards in the Encyclopedia, which you could use in your next run. This feature is expected to improve replayability greatly.



— This demo also features the new cards design — we've improved the text descriptions and added new symbols, showing the health, attack, and range on warriors and buildings cards. Now you can always get an idea of what this particular card does and what it is capable of from just a quick glance.



— Bosses are finally here! There will be four different bosses waiting for you at the end of each act of the campaign. In this demo, you will meet just one of them, but he'll make sure that you won't forget this encounter.



— The AI of standard orxes is vastly improved in this build. They are much smarter than ever before, and it's much easier for us to control them: this allows us to spawn vast crowds of enemies with ease. So brace yourself!



— We've reworked the random level generation system — now we can say that it's really smart and versatile. And we've also added a lot of new environment tiles such as lakes, mountains, and forests.


Phew, that's it for today! Now that you know what to expect, we can only wish you a pleasant few hours playing the new demo of ORX. We really do hope that you'll like it, so we urge you to tell us about your experience on our Discord server, on Twitter or right here in the comments. We will greatly appreciate every piece of feedback and use it to improve the game further.

And thank you for your interest in ORX — it means the world to us. See you!

have fun with the demo and don’t hesitate to send us any feedback or report bugs that we didn’t squash yet in the Steam Discussions or on Discord!

Hi! In our last update, we’ve promised to conclude our brief overview of the ORX world history, and now we are doing exactly that!

Quick note: this is part 2 of our Lore devlog — make sure to check the first part out, cause otherwise, this one won’t make much sense to you. With that out of the way, let’s begin!!

As you remember, The Book people have received from the mysterious Gray Traveler was able to make miracles and create anything its owner could think of out of thin air.



But nobody knew that this Book contained an ominous secret: it took something away from you with each gift it gave. With the creation of each new majestic castle or magical device, the hearts of the Book's users became darker and their thoughts more insidious.

At last, the inevitable happened - a full-scale war broke out. The once united people divided into four rival factions sought to get the Book for themselves.



Many achievements of the old civilization perished in the fire of conflict. We know almost nothing about this dark age - just that nine long and bloody wars took place during this time.

The world's fate was supposed to be decided in the last Tenth War, which promised to be even more brutal than the previous ones. But all of the rivaling factions were forced to abandon their military plans when a new threat appeared — the orx themselves! Those were mysterious ferocious creatures, seemingly ideal war machines, driven only by the desire to kill and destroy. All the infighting between the opposing factions came to a close in the face of this existential threat.



You take upon the role of the ruler of one of these four factions. The magical Book is in your possession now, so you can build new castles and other defenses in a matter of seconds. Would that be enough to give you an edge against endless hordes of orx? One way or the other, now you have to protect the valley from those merciless creatures at any cost. Who knows, maybe you will be able to unravel the mystery of their origins along the way — but only if you manage to survive their onslaught. Do you have what it takes to be the savior of your people?



We know what you really want — to finally dive deep into the world of ORX and defeat the green-skinned beasts once and for all. We will keep working as hard (and fast) as we possibly can, to finally deliver you the full game. But for now — have fun with the demo and don’t hesitate to send us any feedback or report bugs that we didn’t squash yet in the Steam Discussions or on Discord!
