The tables have turned. For once, you’re not defending the village — you’re the threat at the gates. Independent studio RedKar Devs has unveiled Orcthal, a bold horde-survival roguelite that casts you as an orc warrior storming human lands — playable solo or in online co-op with up to three friends. A free demo is live right now on Steam.
RAID. RAZE. RETURN. STRONGER.
Every run sends you deep into fortified human territory:
- Survive the counterattack — armies converge on your position; carve through them with auto-cast abilities that keep the chaos flowing
- Level up & choose perks — grow in power mid-raid, picking upgrades that redefine your playstyle each time
- Loot & pillage — strip the fallen and sack settlements; carry your spoils home to unlock permanent upgrades
- Fall, rise again — die and return stronger; each expedition shapes your orc’s legacy
Alone or With Allies
- Solo mode — lead the charge as a lone war-chieftain
- Online co-op — rally up to 3 friends and storm the human lands together
- Balanced for all sizes — enemy numbers and strength scale to match your party

Why It Stands Out
Survivor-likes usually put you on the defensive — Orcthal flips the script. You’re the invader. You choose where to strike, what to loot, and when to retreat — or burn everything to the ground. It’s a fresh twist on the genre from RedKar Devs, the team behind Warlords Under Siege.
“Play as an orc warrior carving through armies… loot the fallen, pillage their settlements and come back again, and again, stronger.”
