In the second phase, players must micromanage battles, primarily by deploying additional bombs and nukes to overwhelm the enemy. What sets Sir, We Have an Orc Problem apart, however, is its ability to spawn tens of thousands of enemies in a single battle, making every mission feel like an epic scene from a sci-fi movie.

Sir, We Have an Orc Problem Has a Secret Sauce
Unlike many action-oriented, realistic military simulation games, Sir, We Have an Orc Problem introduces a different subgenre to its formula: incremental progression. One fan said, “A decent game that scratches a specific ‘number go up’ itch. I was left wanting more areas (or a level editor), challenges, and weapons after 100%ing the game.” Whether players fail or successfully eliminate every enemy, the next level is larger and features even bigger enemy waves, creating an addictive gameplay loop for fans of incremental games.
Sir, We Have an Orc Problem is currently available at a 10% launch discount, bringing its price to just under $9. The offer ends on August 11, so anyone looking for a fun indie game that’s easy to pick up for short play sessions may want to take advantage of the deal while it lasts.
