Video game developers take inspiration from all manner of sources to come up with ideas for what they should make, or what they should make next. The team at Playsaurus and Nice Ride are particularly fond of Warcraft 2 from way back when, so they decided to take their passion for that game and make it into an idle RPG called Orc Incremental. The game has been announced for Steam and will release on September 8th. Want to learn more about the game? Get details on the title and see its newest trailer below:

“In Orc Incremental, players build a growing orc warband, optimize formations, draw units andtotems, cast spells, and repeatedly rebirth to unlock permanent power and push deeper into an ever-scaling dark fantasy campaign.

Get ready to command a growing army of dark fantasy units in an experiencebuilt around constant scaling and strategic refinement. New units and totems are acquired through card drafting, and each choice pushes the run in adifferent direction. Armies fight automatically, but success depends on the skills to build their composition, set formations, and use spells at key moments.

When progress slows, players can perform a Dark Rebirth, resetting the current run in exchange for permanent bonuses and additional unlocks. This core loop creates a strong sense of momentum, experimentation, and long-term mastery.”

As you can see, there’s a lot going on with the title, and the team has been working on ensureing the 1.0 version of the game is as robust as it can be, as you’ll note from the features list below:

New Allied Units: Unlock the Assassin (a stealth unit specializing in critical damage), Troll (a durable tank that reflects damage), Warg Raider (an area- damage fighter that pulls vulnerable units out of safety), and Juggernaut (an explosive siege unit).

Reworked Chieftains: Chieftains now fight as battlefield units, featuring nine distinct bloodlines with signature abilities activated with right click, and a Martyrdom passive bonus that activates if the chieftain is sacrificed.

Expanded Blight Tree: The blight tree has been reworked into a more traditional branching tree with 250 upgrade nodes.

New Enemy Units: Face Cryomancers, Paladins, and Griffons, each introducing a new challenge to your battle composition.

New Legendary Bosses: Three new legendary bosses with unique attacks.

Expanded Card and Totem Builds: Five new totems that open up new unit synergies and army-building options.

Quality-of-Life, Trial, and Balance Improvements: The full release also includes a broad range of improvements to Trials, game balance, progression, usability, and overall polish.

If all of this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, wishlist the game today!
