Orx

Orx is a strategy game in which you defend your nation from the ORX using a customizable deck of cards. You build defenses, manage troops and resources, cast spells and use artifacts as you push back the ORX across the land of Medea. Three factions offer different ways to play, and each mission, campaign and event can unfold differently.

Factions

Each faction has its own gameplay and approach to the shared core experience:

• Rune Guardians: build impenetrable castle walls.
• Dune Reavers: manage units in a more traditional real-time strategy style.
• Boreal Nomads: play as a nation of humans and giants, with gameplay reminiscent of strategy simulations.

Build your strategy

Your card deck is central to victory, and you can customize it around magic, fortifications, troops or the economy. You can upgrade cards and use powerful spells and artifacts. Effective strategies can earn a place on the leaderboard.

The ORX vary in strength, toughness and ingenuity. You match their attacks against the archetypes of your defenses, identify their weaknesses and choose your cards accordingly.

Reclaim Medea

You clear ORX from Medea’s temperate forests, ruin-filled deserts, icy wastelands and void-ridden planes. The campaign advances node by node across each continent, with the risk of facing ORX empowered by corruption, or you can head directly for the boss. Campaigns, events and missions play out differently each time.

Face the leaders

The most brutal and cunning ORX lead the horde. You overcome these powerful foes through careful deck management and strategy. Victory lets you claim their essence for powerful buffs that last throughout the campaign and help prepare you for later challenges.

Art and music

The game’s art combines grimdark and light-hearted fantasy in the style of vintage book illustrations, pairing brutality with comedy. An original soundtrack by Nicolas de Ferran accompanies the battles.
