Liked the concept. Pretty good looking game for a jam aswell! The combat was a bit bland with 2 attacks but I could see this being cool if its fleshed out. John Wick vs orcs :D

This was a really enjoyable game with a very polished feel! Great use of art and sound with a fantastic environment. Orcs went down pretty easily, which never gets old, but maybe a boss fight would have been cool (unless I missed him), Great job, I felt like I was playing a AAA game haha

That was fun to play! Would like to have a bigger location and a little progression like bosses or high level orks! Good mood and visual style

The cutscene was incredible. RIP to Rufus. I, Thaddeus the Unkillable, have exacted my revenge upon the orcs.

Fun game, I liked the art and the humor. The gameplay was a bit bland and repetitive but for a jam game it was nice and fun. Good job

Impressive graphics. Found it a little hard to understand wether I am invincible or just lucky :D Would be cool if all orcs would drop exp. Cool entry overall!

I wish there was more of a skill tree and some more variation to the music - but hey it was made during a Jam, and all the other things are super inpressive for being don in such a short ime. I guess I want more because the concept is great. Much work put into the graphical side of the game I can tell. Felt good to kill the orc king!!

Good mix between vampire survivors and Diablo. First of all, I tried to speed run game, ignores works, but it was a mistake xD. I spent a little time in start of ladder, because I think, that it was wall. For me, it will be cooler to see another type of enemies, but overall I like this game for nostalgic Diablo vibes and for education curve of this game: 2 works - a lot of works - 5 works - a lot of orks

Thank you for the opportunity of going all John Wick on those pesky orcs. My poor dog. I laughed out loud when the orcs came at me first in perfect ninja-etiquette single file :) You have a shocking amount of cool art in there! This would be a funny quest run in a bigger game.

Stellar voice acting and the graphics just teleport you back to the good ol' days of prime WoW

Gotta say, swinging feels pretty good, especially since it doesn't block your movement. Is there a difference between light and heavy attack? Heavy attack is fun to use, but the dmg number is the same. I appreciate the smooth camera, but it needs some lookahead, otherwise you can really see the way you're going. Although I did run from orcs for a considerable amount of time, so the camera did frame those scenes pretty well after all :sweat_smile:

Reminds me a bit of the old Dungeon Siege style of play. I *think* the player is invincible?

Pretty good job overall, though wasn't a fan of how far behind the player the camera dragged. Also nothing happens when the PC runs out of HP.

The good: The general mood and the column of particles telling you where the loot was (a small detail, but it helps a lot).

Things to improve: The lack of consequences for reaching 0 health. You could aso add a special attack for the king orc, to make it stand out more.

I kept buying the "replenish all your health" upgrades because I felt like I was cheating by walking around and killing orcs with 0 health XD

Also, what was that circle of rocks shining with a violet light? Was it a part of the gameplay I missed or just some cool decor? I tried to step inside but nothing happened.
