Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Play as Arkaïl, an elite Orc soldier of the legendary legion of Bloodjaws, a league of warriors devoted to victory in the war against Humankind. As a veteran group of warriors who have seen the most brutal of battles, the Bloodjaws are appointed to complete a mission that could change the course of the war: kill the one man responsible for all of the bloodshed, the one who has, for years, exhorted the human masses to loath and fight the green-skinned people... the Emperor himself.
Goblin, Styx will soon join you to aid you in your mission. He is everything Arkaïl is not. While Arkaïl focuses on power, due to his incredible strength, Styx benefits from darker powers and stealth abilities, making him the perfect assassin. From the filthy alleys at the foot of the Great Wall to the depths of the Empire of Men, your heroes will face the greatest dangers throughout their epic quest.
Product Description
Of Orcs And Men first puts you into the role of an elite Orc soldier from the legendary legion of Bloodjaws, a league of warriors deeply involved in the war opposing the Of Orcs And Men on one side to their persecutors, Humankind. As a veteran warrior who has seen the most brutal of battles, you are appointed by the Orc commander to complete a mission that could change the course of the war: kill the one man responsible for all of this bloodshed, the one who has, for years, exhorted the human masses to loath and fight the green-skinned people: the Emperor himself.
A Goblin will soon join you to aid you in your mission... he is everything the Orc is not. But you find that this works to your advantage as you fight on the battleground and off. Making advantage of their natural traits, they have their own skill trees you will develop. While the Orc focuses on power, reflecting his incredible strength, the Goblin will benefit from darker powers and stealth abilities, making him the perfect assassin.
From the filthy alleys at the foot of the Great Wall, to the depths of the Empire of Men, your two infiltrated heroes will face the greatest dangers through their epic quest. They will commune with the Wizards, fight the assassins and soldiers of the Empire of Men, and oppose the powerful Sisters of Laments.
As the world falls into chaos and you face a cruel and merciless humanity bent on eternal persecution of Orcs and Goblins, your unlikely duo will have one last chance to change the course of History and, hopefully, bringing peace between your peoples.

Right, that said the game itself is solid in build, charismatic in story and as good looking as it needs to be for the generation of console, and I for one am pleased to see a game of this genre, that requires a bit more intelligence over dexterity coming to the console market, (check out the average score for the game on PC and you'll see the audience it was targeted for.) I won't give a long winded in depth review here - you can find those all over the net. I just wanted people visiting this page to be aware that this is a good solid game that plays really well and offers a lot of satisfaction if it suits your style of play, and given the floods of repetitive, inspiration-less prequels and sequels that currently stagnate the console market it's nice to see something that offers a change in pace and game play like Of Orcs and Men.
I've never written a review on Amazon before and never thought I would. However, seeing the number of stars next to this title urged me to act. I'll keep things brief.
I love Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Fallout, Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, The Witcher etc. I quite like Dragon's Dogma. I get bored rather quickly with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, despite the excellent story. I think Darksiders is utter mince. Hope this helps to illustrate my spectrum of opinion.
Anyway, I love this game. Fantastic indie quality. Gripping story & gameplay. Awesome combat system. A good challenge.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I urge my fellow like-minded gamers to try this title and give it the praise it deserves. Proud to have it sitting alongside the best in my collection.
RPG? Medieval combat?
i don't think so... more or less is a good definition!
