About this game
In "Pesky Orcs!" you take part in medieval fantasy battles between ancient foes:
Orcs and humans.
As commander of the human army you do not control your soldiers directly. Instead lead them across the battlefield where they attack enemies automatically and help them avoid projecticles, traps and spells. You yourself are busy activating spells and collecting loot in form of coins, diamonds and other treasure.
Lost a battle? No problem. In between runs visit your cozy homebase where you can trade your coin in for new buildings that unlock upgrades and units. Returning to the battlefield you will be mightier than ever before. Let those Orcs quiver in fear!
Features:
unique blend of RTS, RPG and Autobattler
Roguelike/Roguelite Elements
handcrafted retro pixelart look!
Loads of units, buildings, spells & fun!
randomizes battlefields in different worlds for maximum variety
runs on a potato
driving soundtrack
hours of fun with new content updates already on the horizon!
How long will YOU survive against the hordes of darkness?
Enter the world of "Pesky Orcs!" today and dive into a blizzard of retro fun! Wink wink.

Patch NotesOfficial
New day, new patch!
Another patch, tweaking a lot of different aspects of the game. Especially the first minute(s) of a run should be easier now. So if you got frustrated, maybe try again! :) (And leave a nice review, if you can...) Patchnotes: - Reduced Mages firerate (was a bit overpowered) - Fire spell lasts a shorter time - Blast radius of exploder increased - enemy waves are further apart - amulet is cheaper - you can find more coins by moving around the level - reduced health of some early enemies - tweaked spider's net abilityRead full article on Community Announcements (Wusel)Patch NotesOfficial
I think I've got it! (?)
Here we go. Patchnotes: - Saving gold really is working now. For sure. I think. - Unit Spawning sound is less annoying - Tweaked Mages fire ability - Pause screen now has a "how to play" section - added plant icon to the hub village Thanks for your feedback. Keep it coming! Plans for the near future: - add more and bigger bosses - add hero skins - adjust balancing (start of the game still too difficult?) What sounds the most important to you? Let me know in the comments.Read full article on Community Announcements (Wusel)Patch NotesOfficial
My bad...
Saving the amount of gold actually did NOT work, so I reverted the changes for now. Sorry about that. Real solution will follow soon, hopefully. :) Thanks again for playing.Read full article on Community Announcements (Wusel)Patch NotesOfficial
