Hinterland: Orc Lords - PC

I'm sorry but this game is horrible the graphics are terrible they aren't even realistic looking and there is no story line all you do is just pick a difficulty and pick what you want your person to look like and just kill everything on the map its meaningless

This is an interesting little game. First, it's not trying to do much: the game play length is short and there isn't any depth. Basically it's a Diablo style game with some shallow city building tacked on. What makes this game different is that it's a casual game that relies on replay rather than length and depth; a single game is not meant to engage you for weeks or even days.I feel that it almost works, but that it's a little too shallow. More complexity on the town building and dungeon side would go a long way improving the game. Collecting things or having achievements would also be a plus.If you're in the mood for a fast casual game this isn't a bad choice. The game play is fast paced and forces you to focus on what you're playing.

This game is fine as a quick distraction, but there is no depth to the gameplay, and was only fun for a few days. I highly recommend Majesty 2 over this title. The two games are similar, but Majesty 2 is way more fun.

Pro and Cons of Hinterland:I bought this on the strength of other reviews and I actually enjoyed it a lot. Here's my take on the game and why you should buy it:Pros-1) lots of replay value2) decent fighting action3) lots of random loot, monsters and scenarios4) different world, combines elements of video games: sorta Civilization meets fantasy, or Master of Magic type...There are plenty of Diablo like elements in there: waygate type portals, drag and click etc.5) ok music6) fairly difficult combat for each mode.7) fairly smooth action, point and click fast respoonse.Cons-1) cannot return to previously saved game, always constantly saves, so if someone dies you cannot go back to the point when the follower was alive. What's the point of saving then?2) there is a relative lack explaning the functions of the game with the manual and inside the game. for example, I'd like to know what an upgrade of Inn to Tavern does for me (if anything).3) No hot keys, you have to drag potions onto portraits of characters, this often results in losing a follower.4) The music repeats its theme song over and over again, otherwise ok.5) I don't like how there's a limited city size6) The villains have the same layout as the heroes, which doesn't make sense.7) I often run into the problems of clicking onto a building in a crowded town when I wish to exit. (I did solve this by using the region/town screen)All and all,this game is completely worth the money, time and energy to invest. What I complain about in general are small nitpicking things, except for the hotkey and save issues.

First off, I see people comparing this game to other games - some compare it to an rts - which it is definitely the farthest from - and some to old action rpg's - which it is definitely much closer to in nature but still not the same. It is unlike anything I have ever seen or played in 30+ years of gaming. yes, you go out and kill things - yes, you get to form a party but you can't control what they do - much to (my) your dismay sometimes. The comparison to majesty might be the closest what with using buildings to "recruit" npc's. However, you recruit them directly, one per building and THEN build the structure. It is from this pool then that you are allowed to choose up to three villagers to accompany you on "raiding". Your town produces gold which you use in turn to hire more townspeople and upgrade structures. You further augment gold from your raiding (killing of monsters). Raiding also allows you to secure locations which are needed to recruit additional types of npc townspeople. Once you've killed everything on the map - you "win".On the innovation I give it a five. On fun I also give it a five. On the perfect blend of rts and rpg I also give it a five. On game length and replayability I give it a .1 -- that's right - .1It looks like the team took all of a couple of weeks to make the game. It's incredibly simple - which is good - but it's also painfully short. You can play an entire game in a few hours. Once you've played a few - you've pretty much covered the entire territory of replayability. It is very much like one reviewer said "much like solitaire" It's the same thing over and over again with different minor variations as different cards are drawn (allegory statement not actual gameplay).It's really unfortunate the team at tilted mill didn't take some time to actually make a campaign for this. This feels very much like an unfinished game played in "sandbox" or "random map" mode.it's still a ton of fun - although short lived. I paid 10 bucks for it and I'd say that's about exactly what it's worth. I very much hope it's a prelude to something better and much more substantial by this talented team.

I'm a very boring gamer my favorite thing to do in runescape is chopping bush on ka majar island I wanted a game offline that if I wanted to go fight I could or just busy myself.the closest thing to chopping bush in this game I've only played bout 2hrs is checking out new arrivals in town but I do enjoy this game

Hinterland Orc Lords is a pretty simple game, but it is that simplicity that makes it so enjoyable to play. It is quite easy to become addicted to playing it. If you are looking for something that is fun and simple that you will never grow tired of, then give Hinterland a try.
