Of Orcs and Men is a new action RPG being developed by both Cyanide Studio and Spiders Studio which puts you in the role of an Orc Warrior caught in a battle to save his homeland from an impeding human invasion which is persecuting and killing his greenskin compatriots. It’s a heartfelt story of poor Orcs, bullied in school, not able to marry, ‘driving while green’, and forced to drink from the “Greenskins Only” water fountains.

Ian from DJ Podcasts writes "For gamers who grew up in the early 90s and for fans of games during those first few years Kickstarter as a business model is really starting to pay off. As an average consumer even more so, because you don’t have to do anything and the 1000s of fans out there chipping in are paying, for your child hood memories to be remade."
