ORX News

Greetings, Sultans!

Just earlier this year we've added the Dune Reavers to the game. Focused around units, the 2nd faction of ORX was available only internally and in closed beta builds. They play completely different compared to the Rune Wardens, while still using the familiar mechanics of ORX. This version also included first iteration of elemental buffs for both orx and the player, new progression system and many more smaller changes!

The only thing that is as hot as the sun in the lands of the Dune Reavers is the Rune of Embers. This is a staple card for Rune Wardens, which adds damage to a target unit or castle. And we all like to deal lots of damage!

So what does Encyclopedia say about this card?

The fire rune of The First Great War with Kharima. It was forged by Stein the Record Keeper and served to turn the tide of the war. The ancient runes were truly devastating compared to the ones used today…

Runes of old were much more devastating? Well, whoever wrote this clearly never tried stacking 20 Runes of Embers!

That's it for Today! Tune in Tomorrow for the last part of ORX development history. And, maybe, a look at its future?

Hello, dear Wardens!

Let's continue looking back at previous iterations of ORX. This version's highlight were new castle visuals (which are quickly torn down by orx in the gif), tower upgrades and new biomes like Desert Ruins (which still didn't have final visuals back then). Fun fact: the build for internal testing had huge hordes and was really hard to play!

If you played the demo and used tower upgrades, your favourite probably was Blast Tower. And we totally share the sentiment — great damage AND AoE? What's not to love!

Let's take a look at what the Encyclopedia says about this card!

The Rune Guardians didn’t just imbue their armor with runes and charmed their arms. Rune magick allowed it’s users to manipulate chemical reagents, which led to the creation of terrifying weapons.

And this is it for Today! Tune in Tomorrow, as we continue looking back at ORX prior to it's Early Access Launch!

Greetings, Kings and Queens!

Only 4 days left until ORX Early Access Launch! Join us as we take a look at older versions of the game and share trivia about our favorite cards.

Let's look at how ORX looked at the very beginning. Attack lines for orx, weird curved walls, castle repair for gold and different visuals — ah, the days of old!

OLD BUILD

CURRENT BUILD

Even back then ORX already had runes as cards. And one of them is very dear to our heart — Rune of Rock, which gives more HP to your castles. Also, have you ever noticed that its art features a chonky chicken?



It also has a very interesting description in the in-game Library:

The first Rune to ever exist created by the forgers of Sturn in a distant age. It contained the harsh and enduring resilience of the Earth. Count Abel’s alchemists tore this raw power from inside of a gigantic rock and sealed it in a rune.

That's it for Today — tune in Tomorrow for more stories about the development of ORX and card trivia.
