    This may be one of the worst games ever made. A combination of horrible control, terrible graphics, annoying sounds, and broken gameplay combine to make a wholly unpleasant experience. Combined with a story that feels like it was written by a first time dungeons and dragons player who had had a few drinks, few people will make it through the first five minutes of this game. The storyThis may be one of the worst games ever made. A combination of horrible control, terrible graphics, annoying sounds, and broken gameplay combine to make a wholly unpleasant experience. Combined with a story that feels like it was written by a first time dungeons and dragons player who had had a few drinks, few people will make it through the first five minutes of this game. The story literally centers around a talking wand that is smarter than you but completely worthless. Great fun. This littersly makes modern copy paste mobile games look like a blast. Do not play if you value your freetime Expand

  1. If you're looking for some fun role-playing light gameplay, then Orcs & Elves is for you.
  2. Orcs & Elves is a well-balanced RPG that plays well on the DS but doesn’t offer anything new or exciting we haven’t already played.

    Orcs & Elves is no revolution. It's Western role-playing the way it used to be - hidden passages, mountains of gold, dead dwarves and a temperamental dragon. It's perfect fodder for the geek in you, and a half-an-hour train ride, but don't expect it to rock your world.
