Orch Star

Orch Star is a real-time strategy game set in a space conflict between orchs and elves. You command a fleet of orch ships, maneuver in battle and conquer planets to take control of strategic systems. It can be played in Desktop or Virtual Reality mode; both offer the same content through different interfaces.

Lead the rebellion

In the 15-scenario single-player campaign, you lead an orch rebellion against the Mevorian Empire as warchief Orca Wartusk. After nearly 600 years of Mevorian oppression, Orca began a revolution among the scattered orch clans. You rally the remaining clans by proving your worth as warchief, then venture into the elven starseas to conquer ancient systems and acquire foreign technology. The campaign introduces new ships, technologies and spells as you progress.

Battle other commanders

Online Multiplayer supports up to six players, regardless of gaming platform. You can play as orchs or elves in deathmatch scenarios, with customizable team compositions, or in custom scenarios with scripted events and victory conditions. You can add AI opponents when you need more players.

Skirmish lets you play bundled or user-created single-player scenarios with or against AI opponents, whose difficulty you can customize. You can also open Multiplayer scenarios in Skirmish and replace other player teams with AI-controlled ones.

Create scenarios

The Level Editor is used to make the campaign and Skirmish scenarios, and lets you build and share scenarios of varying complexity. You can edit planets, asteroids, stars and skyboxes, then configure ship production and teams. Further options include dialogue, planet statistics and descriptions, and custom functions for scripting events such as reinforcements, planet explosions and victory conditions.

Share through Workshop

The Level Editor and scenario selection are integrated with Steam Workshop. You can share your scenarios and find others to play in Skirmish or Multiplayer, browse by tags, rate scenarios, leave feedback and subscribe to favourites for automatic updates.
