About

Orc Defense

Read full description

Orcs come down the map in a green tide. Your keep sits at the bottom. Between the two: eight turret pads, and whatever you decide to put on them. Orc Defense is an endless tower defense. No final level, no win screen. You start a run, you hold as long as you can, and when the keep falls you walk out with skill points to spend on upgrades that stay with you. Then you go again, further. BUILD THE LINE Four turrets, each with a job. Gatling shreds the front of the wave. Cannon drops splash on the pack behind it. Flame lights a lane and keeps it burning. Tesla arcs through five extra orcs at once. Eight pads per map, and you start with one turret. Unlocking the other seven is most of the early game. UPGRADE MID-RUN, THEN UPGRADE FOREVER Every orc that dies pays you. Spend that cash during the run on damage, fire rate, range and crit. When the run ends, spend skill points in the Forge on 29 permanent upgrades across attack, defense and utility: extra turret slots, base HP, shields, armor, minefields, lifesteal, crit multipliers, cash bonuses. A BOSS EVERY 10 WAVES Bosses are slow, huge, and carry a quarter of the wave's payout on their back. They also hit like a truck if they reach your keep. 26 CARDS Draw cards with diamonds and equip up to twenty at a time. Commons push your numbers up. Epics and legendaries change how a run plays: a wall that rebuilds itself every wave, a curse that strips boss health, guns that orbit your keep, a vortex that throws orcs back to the spawn. FOUR MAPS, TWELVE TIERS The map changes under you every 50 waves. Past wave 200 the difficulty tiers start stacking, enemies get four times tougher, payouts climb but never quite keep up. Nothing caps how far you go. WEEKLY MISSIONS Orcs killed, waves cleared, bosses dropped. Missions pay skill points and diamonds. The board tops itself back up through the day, and the chest track resets every Monday. STRAIGHT ABOUT ADS The only ads here are rewarded ones you tap yourself, for diamonds or a temporary bonus. Nothing cuts into a run. No pop-ups, no banner across your base. Plays offline. Portrait, one hand, no energy bar and no waiting to play. English and French. How far can you hold the line?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Blockwilds at none against Orc Defense's shown. Orc Defense's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blockwilds sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Orc Defense sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
