Freeverse releases Hordes of Orcs

The Mac games are just rolling in this week. Freeverse, the company that brought you Big Bang Games, has just released a new game for the Mac platform: Hordes of Orcs.

“Hordes of Orcs is a “Tower Defense” game in which you must build walls and lethal towers to defend your village from the Orcs emerging from, what the village elders call, “The Glowing Portal of Really Bad Things That We Should Have Bricked-Up a Long Time Ago.” Sadly, the Portal is un-bricked and the Orcs are very, very hungry. If 20 Orcs make it to your village, you’re toast.”

The graphics aren’t bad for a strategy game like this. It’s obviously no Halo 3, but this is a completely different type of game. For the price, it looks pretty impressive. You can even download the game (no disc required) for just $24.95. Or you can download a full demo of the game from Freeverse’s website. The system requirements are 1.83GHz or faster Intel or PowerPC, Intel GMA950 or better video, 384MB RAM and 35MB disk space. It’s made in Universal binary – so both Intel and PowerPC users can play it smoothly. Freeverse have also said that a Windows version will be available soon. How odd – a Mac game before Windows.
