About the Game

Lead the Horde. Destroy the Kingdom. Rescue your Warchief!

The humans have captured your Warchief and locked him inside a heavily fortified castle. There is only one way to free him - tear the fortress apart.

The Horde of Gorak is a pixel art incremental strategy game where you command a growing orcish horde. Gather resources, construct buildings, recruit increasingly powerful warriors, unlock devastating technologies, and lay siege to castle after castle in your relentless pursuit of your imprisoned leader.

Every strike against the enemy fortress sends Castle Shards flying - your most valuable resource. Spend them wisely to expand your economy, strengthen your army, and prepare for the next, even tougher siege.

But the humans won't surrender so easily. Each time a castle falls, they evacuate the Warchief to an even stronger fortress deeper within their kingdom. Your horde must continue growing if you ever hope to catch them.

  • Construct production buildings.

  • Expand your economy to support an ever-growing army.

Master Orc Magic
