Orcdom

Orcdom is a tower-defense game in which you prepare for waves of orcs by placing defense and resource-gathering towers, casting spells and attacking neutral buildings. You can place towers anywhere on the map, and their placement follows physical rules. If you want to change a tower’s position, place a new one; you can adjust your strategy as the battlefield changes.

Maps and enemies

The game has five large maps, each with a distinct environment and effects. On the snowy map, you must build campfires: buildings outside their warm zones freeze, reducing their attack and gathering speeds. On the desert map, defense towers heat up when placed beside one another. At heat level 3, they attack faster but also take more damage.

Each map has its own orc enemies. Large wolf packs fear fire but attack in great numbers, while spear-throwing orcs attack from long range. The maps also include other features to discover.

Towers and spells

Dozens of defense towers are designed to counter different enemies. Mortars attack across a wide radius, mana towers fire laser beams, and capture towers can deal damage to airborne enemies.

You can also equip spell scrolls for one-time attacks or effects. Fireball can instantly eliminate orc minions, while Fog can greatly reduce the attack range of ranged enemies. Combining towers and spells offers multiple strategies for completing the game.

Battlefield choices

As orcs attack from all directions, you also need to attack neutral buildings. Some grant useful buffs, such as spell scrolls; others can hinder the orcs, such as a portal that you can destroy to stop the final wave from summoning additional enemies. You must also decide whether to build resource-gathering towers to earn funds or prioritize defenses against the immediate threat, and when to cast your spells.

Levels and challenges

Each level has three difficulty options, as well as challenge modes. Some levels have special effects: in Blizzard, all orcs freeze periodically, while in Quicksand, defense towers slowly shift outward.
