Fantasy's usual order is turned around in Of Orcs And Men: the Empire of Men persecutes, enslaves and massacres the Orcs and Goblins, and the player sides with the hunted. The player directs two heroes, a powerful Orc fighter and a Goblin who specializes in stealth and assassination. Their mission takes them deep into enemy territory with a single goal, killing the Emperor.
Characters gain levels and learn new abilities, with the pair covering brute force and quiet killing between them. It is a single-player action RPG with full controller support, built on a premise of persecution and revolt. The Goblin, Styx, later got a game of his own from Cyanide.
