35 of 35 · most liked firstFinished Of Orcs and Men. Pretty cool game, despite not being the biggest fan of the combat. Loved Arkail and Styx though.
unlabelledView post →Just wanna let people know that every game in the Styx series (Of Orcs and Men, Master of Shadows, and Shards of Darkness) are all 90% off right now, and I seriously can't recommend these games enough, especially if you're a monsterfucker like me who likes non-human characters in leading roles!
unlabelledView post →The fact that the dialogue wheel and its variations wormed its way into all sorts of game is so clear on its influence. From games like Of Orcs and Men, Deus Ex, and even today with Assassin's Creed Shadows.
unlabelledView post →Early start today. New 3 game series to play with a 4th game coming soon. First playthrough - Of Orcs and Men. twitch.tv/ectoplasmavt #Vtuber #ENVtuber #VtuberEN
unlabelledView post →NEW PLAYTHROUGH ALERT! On Tuesday: We get a little green as we begin our playthrough of Of Orcs and Men! Very interesting looking game published by Focus Home Interactive, wondering what we'll run into with this one 😄 #Vsky #Vtuber #Twitch
unlabelledView post →Made it to the Island of Laments in Of Orcs and Men. Pretty jank, but cool game, though it did just introduce one extremely questionable plot element. Mostly in a specific word they use, which is just. Baffling.
unlabelledView post →I'm almost done with SMT Nocturne, too! Though I'll play a game called Of Orcs and Men after that, but it's a bit on the shorter side, so I should get around to SC soon.
unlabelledView post →So I was actually going to play Of Orcs and Men soon. Probably after I finish Nocturne. So it sure is fun to see one of the dev studios for that game getting liquidated.
unlabelledView post →The odd thing is I've never played a Styx game but I LOVED Of Orcs and Men, cream of the eurojank RPG crop right there. Glad to see this little guy continue his adventures.
unlabelledView post →And with that, Of Orcs and Men is in the books! A very intriguing game. Definitely a jank game, but it has some systems that I feel have promise to it. Also lots of swearing, so there is that. If there is a game that you wanna see on stream, reply below! #Vtuber #Vsky #Twitch
unlabelledView post →I even sometimes listen to game soundtracks way before I actually play the games: @darrenkorb.bsky.social's Bastion or Transistor or Olivier Derivière's Of Orcs and Men or Remember Me instantly come to my mind. Great stuff.
unlabelledView post →Yeah I've heard of Orcs and Men is the first but also the weakest game in the franchise
unlabelledView post →Of Orcs and Men isn't really a good game, but I still really liked it.
unlabelledView post →Cool. Shall I start with Of Orcs And Men first or the normal stealth game?
unlabelledView post →I made the completionist mistake of feeling like I should start with the VERY first game the lil' bastard appears in, (Of Orcs And Men) and ran headlong into, "Oh yeah, the rise of the MMO convinced devs that combat should go in these Command-Queue-RTS-Like directions, woof!
unlabelledView post →The story and background of the games is also pretty good, if you play them and get interested in it, might be worth nabbing Of Orcs and Men too, though that's deffo not a stealth game.
unlabelledView post →DA:O is the game that got me to fall in love with RTwP, A combat system that I've seen done in maybe 10 other games and done well in maybe 3 others lol. Still my favourite RPG combat system tho. DA: Inquisition, Game of Thrones RPG and Of Orcs and Men and the only other games that did it well IMO.
unlabelledView post →Today I learned that there's one more game than I even knew about in the Styx-ology, Of Orcs and Men. Cue my usual irrational urge to play through a bunch of games for the first time before an interesting-looking sequel drops. I'm in good company, seeing a lot of people STARTING Hollow Knight now!
unlabelledView post →Seriously did NOT expect yet another Styx game, what's this now the 4th game he appeared in now? Considering he started out as a side character in Of Orcs and Men, he's doing pretty good for himself, lol
unlabelledView post →Thanks! Tbh, I miss him as a part of a dynamic duo, but alas, I don't think I'll ever get a second Of Orcs and Men. We'll see what the new game has to offer still
unlabelledView post →WoW's later stuff did some interesting things with their orcs There was also a not well remembered game called Of Orcs and Men from like 2012
unlabelledView post →I'm waiting for them to put the other half of the Of Orcs and Men cast into a Dynasty Warriors style game when they decide to suddenly switch gears.
unlabelledView post →Of Orcs and Men is ALSO on sale! It's an RPG and is actually the first game Styx appeared in! It's also pretty good, minus one small iffy plot element.
unlabelledView post →TRANSMISSION LIVE! Join us as we begin Of Orcs and Men! An interesting looking game developed by some curious developers. Curious to see if they were cooking with this one or not. Hop in and say hello! #vtuber #vsky #envtuber twitch.tv/uncle_bandit
unlabelledView post →Mini-Review: Of Orcs and Men (PS3) It's everything I expected from an early Spiders Silk-engine game. Imagine cloud streaming over bad internet; slight input lag, poor framerate, and screen tearing or artifacting when turning the camera quickly. Aside from some problematic and…
unlabelledView post →they at least got the third Styx game out, and this one seems to set-up "Of Orcs and Men" quite nicely
unlabelledView post →Of Orcs and Men is slowly turning into one of those "the pros are better than the cons" type of game for me. Can't believe I didn't pay attention to the series up until now
unlabelledView post →One of the most unlikely sequels, yet again. Did you know this will be the 4th game with Styx in it? Of Orcs and Men Styx: Master of Shadows Styx: Shards of Darkness Styx: Blades of Greed Pretty good for ole Styx
unlabelledView post →I actually have a massive doc on how I would improve a ton of games I played if money/time was no object. Most have pretty good reputation already, but some are at best tolerated i.e. Of Orcs and Men. There's also the game I'm already modding, which has excellent "recommend" % but is really niche.
unlabelledView post →Obligated to tell you Of Orcs and Men is $1.50 on GoG right now. www.gog.com/en/game/of_o...
unlabelledView post →Been a while since I got this excited about a game. Just finished recording some Styx: Master of Shadows, a spin-off of the Xbox 360-era game Of Orcs and Men. I've heard it described as "the best stealth game you've never played" and they were right. Video should be up early next month but if […]
unlabelledView post →This game might be an allegory. 🕹️LIVE with OF ORCS AND MEN🕹️ twitch.tv/algi80 We might play the Styx trilogy.
unlabelledView post →Of Orcs and Men is a game I really liked so I have both Styx games but uuuh I suck at stealth so I was terrible at the first Styx game and never finished it, so never played the second one
unlabelledView post →Styx 3 is going to be a Metroidvania! It's also finally going to close the gap between the Styx trilogy and Of Orcs and Men, featuring the finding of the mercenary group Styx is a part of in that game! Man, I'm really psyched...
unlabelledView post →They're also prequels to Of Orcs and Men. Which is also a very good game.
