Of Orcs And Men to ciekawy RPG fantasy, który odwraca klasyczny schemat – tym razem to ludzie są agresorami, a orkowie i gobliny walczą o przetrwanie. Sterujemy dwójką bohaterów: potężnym orkiem Arkailem oraz goblinem Styxem, którego później poznaliśmy z jego własnej serii gier. Jeden świetnie sprawdza się w otwartej walce, drugi w skradaniu i cichych zabójstwach. Największą zaletą jest fabuła i nietypowy świat. Historia jest mroczna, brutalna i pokazuje konflikt z perspektywy ras zwykle przedstawianych w fantasy jako bezmyślni przeciwnicy. Walka odbywa się w czasie rzeczywistym z aktywną pauzą i pozwala wydawać obu bohaterom kolejne polecenia. System jest ciekawy, choć momentami dość toporny i powtarzalny. Technicznie gra mocno się zestarzała – animacje są drewniane, lokacje liniowe, a sterowanie wymaga przyzwyczajenia. Nadrabia jednak charakterem, historią i świetnym duetem głównych bohaterów. Niedoskonały, ale bardzo charakterystyczny RPG, który zdecydowanie warto poznać. Polecam.

The story telling and dialog is fantastic, but the combat is suicidal. If you enjoy the Styx series, this is the start of it all and worth the play. I just wish they would remaster it with modern combat. It would be a masterpiece.

Игру я советую для ознакомления с истоком серии игр Styx. В плане сюжета игра средняя, короткая, с смешными диалогами и постоянной драмы. Не очень рекомендую проходить сразу на высокой сложности, потому что вы не знаете как правильно собирать персонажей и очень сильно намучаетесь ближе к концу игры, а игра очень быстро заканчивается. Игра определённо стоит того, чтобы просто приятно погонять за двух персонажей с разными тактиками ведения боя.

At first, I was struggling a bit, but I was nostalgic. Then I learned to enjoy the gameplay but saw some other problems. Now I'm missing only 2 achievements and by God, I can't wait for it to be over. The first problem I have that was really bothering me: stability issues. When I look at ProtonDB, other people don't seem to have them as much as I do, so YMMV, but for me, these were definitely quite annoying. I had the game freeze to a complete halt over a dozen times, which really doesn't make a run on Extreme difficulty enjoyable, especially with the autosave system. Said autosave system, in conjunction with the cutscenes, is the next part I have to moan about. You never get an autosave mid cutscene (neither do you get the opportunity to save manually mid cutscene), you don't always get an autosave right before one, and you frequently get an autosave immediately after cutscenes. Some cutscenes can be quite long, too. At the same time, you only have a single autosave slot, which means that a new autosave will overwrite the previous one. All of this together makes for a very annoying combo that is a bit tough to work around if you don't already know exactly which cutscenes trigger when. Want to explore all dialogue options but didn't save before? Welp, you'll have to either redo some fights or are just SOL. Missed an item or an achievement? Same thing. This is less annoying if you aren't trying to get all achievements in a single run and do your first run on easy difficulty, so that you can familiarise yourself with the game properly, but the fact that this is a problem at all, when it could've been solved quite easily in several different ways is certainly not speaking for this game. Still, though, it can be very annoying to, for example, fail in the final phase of the final fight and then have to redo the two phases right before because there's neither an autosave nor the opportunity to manually save inbetween these phases. Another thing that isn't speaking for this game is the graphics. This is a game from 2012, so obviously it's not going to look the best by modern standards, but I think this game looks worse than Skyrim (2011), BioShock (2007), and even Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005). The textures are fine, but I find the very heavy recycling of assets to be quite distracting (For example: 3 different mages have the same head, 2 completely unrelated story characters in the first chapter have the same head, and one of the big antagonists has the same head as another story character from the first chapter). I've noticed a ton of clipping issues, even in cutscenes. Weapons just hover behind Orcs and character animations in cutscenes are often meh, sometimes really weird. Hard to tell to which extend this one is a Linux/Proton issue: Shadows look rough when they work correctly, the draw distance limitation for shadows is *very* visible, and they don't work correctly on some characters' faces. What I'm sure is not so much a Linux issue is lighting. I cranked brightness up to the max and there were still some sections where I barely saw anything, while my eyes were stabbed by blooming light in other sections. I'm also not very fond of how, of the relatively few women in this game, shading weirdly highlights their breasts or their breasts are just almost half exposed for no reason. Not particularly unsurprising for a game from 2012, but that doesn't make it better. Other gripes I have with this game include that you can't customise your controls almost at all (again, games already did this better before 2012), sometimes enemies can hit you from a weird distance, world geometry is iffy at times (which can sometimes ♥♥♥♥ you up, and can sometimes ♥♥♥♥ enemy AI up), character pathfinding sometimes just doesn't work, the two playable characters can body block each other and make no automatic effort to pass each other (which can be especially fun mid battle), ... Oh, and you can also make fights literally unwinnable, at least on the higher difficulties. There is no way to respec your characters, and some encounters are simply unfair on the highest difficulty. It feels to me like this game just wasn't balanced around Extreme at all. I'm running out of energy to rant, lol One important note: While this game also has some issues for a casual playthrough, if you don't plan on 100%-ing this game, I think it can still be worth getting this game on sale. I got it at 90% off, and I don't think the money's poorly spent. Despite my frustrations, I still had fun for the most part, and while the writing can be a bit meh at times, I did enjoy some of the plot points and character dynamics quite a lot. Honestly, if I had never touched Extreme difficulty to 100% this game, I probably would've had a pretty decent time and not nearly that much to complain about. I mean, the visual problems are still there, but I would probably be much more forgiving about them if the other problems weren't there, or at least substantially less annoying. If you're only interested in a casual playthrough, I think getting this game at >80% off can be perfectly worth it. If you're looking to have a fun time 100%-ing a game, though, I recommend you don't spend a single cent on this game.

A great story spoiled with the gameplay First things first — the gameplay is not as bad as many are saying. I delayed playing this game for too long because of those reviewers talking about unbearable controls. It is not good, and you pretty much can't do a lot with it, but it is not bad enough to skip this narrative. Now, for the details — it has one of the greatest character portrayals in all of gaming. The story is smooth and natural, which makes following it really enjoyable. The bad part is the interactions in-game — this is a game where you control two characters simultaneously with active pause. At every single encounter, you need to position both characters and fill their action queues (and repeat that cycle until the encounter ends). That cycle has problems: 1) those are boring, repetitive tasks; 2) there are skills and stats that you can distribute... and it's not like you have an actual choice... you can either fail or succeed (just don't forget to make the big one able to tank).

Went straight into it on extreme difficulty, maybe i was a little to ambitious, but since it's an older game i wasn't expecting much of a challenge. I was surprised because it had a fair amount of fights that were quite hard, specially the final boss 3 fights in a row with no saves in between possible. It's a great game, a fair amount of replay ability, you can try different roles/builds for each, at least in normal difficulty, if you go to hardest please go Ark tank with Styx dps, only way i think you can beat the game. I know some people had issues with berserk Ark killing Styx or the combat system being bad. I never had Ark killing Styx, it's just a matter of timmings and controlling the fight. It takes a while to get used to the it, but once you got it you got it. Please don't go to highest difficulty without researching a bit or have one playthrough done, it will spare you some grief. All things considered i would give it a 7,5

Наверное, как и многие, купил эту игру, чтобы погрузиться во вселенную Стикса, прежде чем начать непосредственно серию игр про гоблина-стелсера. И сама вселенная не разочаровала: тёмное средневековье, кругом мрази, бандиты, куски тел, кровавые кишки, повешенные люди (тоже наверняка скоты ещё те). Как говорил один товарищ - идёт нормальная цивилизованная жизнь. Чего уж там. Наши протагонисты это орк-берсерк с птср по кличке Мясник и вор-лудоман-убийца гоблин, от лица которого и идёт повествование сей истории. Единственные положительные герои это наёмники-друзья Стикса, которых император признал вне закона, потому что в отряде есть орки, а император, так уж получилось, расист и конечно мразь. Ну а на кого могут работать в этом мире наёмники? Точно на каких-то мразей. К вселенной, повторю, вопросов нет, вопросы есть к боёвке. Она паузо-тактическая... Казалось бы нажал на паузу, раздал приказы, в случае чего отменил, и наблюдай за происходящим, поправляй неточности. Собственно можно подумать, что это некая днд ролёвка, чего уж там, первый раз такое видим что ли? На деле происходит некое ёбаное месиво, при этом вертлявая камера пытается максимально цинично отобразить ноги бойцов, жопы бойцов, вобщем всё, кроме картины самого боя. Приходится ставить на паузу, пытаться восстановить камеру, снова оценивать ситуацию в бою, раздавать приказы и надеяться, что камера не съебнёт в туман, чтобы снова нарушить тебе видение боя и правильность выбранной тактики. Главные герои и их взаимоотношение это лучшее, что есть в игре, орк ненавидит всё вокруг, особенно людей, а уж к гоблину у него отношение вначале вообше как к низшему созданию, которое просто оказалось на данный момент полезно. Гоблину всё пох, он бы резал и людей, и орков, лишь бы ему платили, но чётко верен контракту. И вот два уголовника идут убивать озверевшего в край батюшку императора. Пожелаем им удачи. ps Впервые увидеть, как орк впадает в ярость и начинает вместо врагов мочить своего собрата гоблина это бесценно. Ну что ж, пойдём гасить этого царствующего козла, не зря же начали

Bardzo mi się podobało, gra to już klasyk moim zdaniem więc sentyment towarzyszył mi od początku do końca, rozgrywka mnie zadowoliła i wprowadziła w świat który ma swoją kontynuację w następnych częściach styxa, szkoda że tylko w nim, chętnie sprawdził bym drugą część tej gry.
