Vampire Survivors and other games similar to it could fit. Very easy on the hardware + easy to develop solo or in small teams. Honestly the entire rogue-like and rogue-lite gerne.
If you havent played Vampire Surivors- go play it.
You are right but I consider the nemesis system kinda part of the whole orc thing like thats (as you said) part of what makes the orcs so great in combination with the writing etc. Like basically everything that had to do with the Orcs was gold.
I dont have a lot of time right now but if you are looking for something different in terms of looks ...maybe check out Hylics and Hylics 2 ? Its at least pretty dang weird. If you just want something pretty to look at how about Ori and the Blind Forest ? Sorry if I misunderstood you.
Mabye make a thread - give us games/ gernes you like and im sure folks could recommend you games if that is what your looking for.
The orcs are without a question the ABSOLUTE highlight of these games. Everything else is just - whatever. They realllly cooked with the orcs in their games though.
Yeah you are right deprogram is like maybe over a year old if im not mistake. Sadly it also seems to be the only current lefty sub left that goes kinda hard ? At least from the ones I found - checked out.
Gamers are truly the most oppressed of us all
