    Cooply Solutions’ Orc Slayer delivers the experience one would expect from such a title at such a price. Unless slaying Orcs by the bucketloads is an itch that you desperately must scratch, there is not much of a reason to pick this up.

    This game clearly wasn’t optimized for the PS4. Nothing about this game should be challenging the PS4’s hardware to this extent so I’m clueless as to why this game performs as badly as it does. Overall I would say this is one to avoid.

    Orc Slayer is an embarrassment. Aside from an absolute gimme of a platinum trophy, this is marginally less good than the Zika virus.

    Most damning, however, is that there’s nothing that actually saves Orc Slayer. There’s no real attempt to even do something interesting, different, or creative. This is a game that actively sets out to be a generic FPS with a medieval humans-vs-orcs theme. It doesn’t even try to be a good one. The developers know, surely, that the game isn’t remotely competitive with the better examples of the genre – even in the indie FPS space. That they clearly didn’t care enough about the player to try and do something even slightly different is an absolute insult, and the fact it can’t even get the basics of the genre down means that it deserves no respect from anyone.
