About the game

Defend your keep against more than a million orcs. Between the waves you draw walls, dig traps and set up archers, spearmen and cavalry. Then the horn sounds and you step in yourself: divine acts crash into the flood, dragon riders burn lanes through the horde.

The number in the title is not a figure of speech. The GPU simulates up to 1,048,576 orcs at the same time, and the counter on screen reports the real number of enemies still alive. Zoom all the way out and the valley sinks under a green tide; zoom all the way in and every dot is a single orc on its own path.

The first gameplay clips reached 441,000 views on TikTok within a week of posting.

Key features

  • Over a million enemies at once, every one of them simulated on the GPU. The kill counter is honest.
  • Walls drawn as free lines and stamped shapes: pull a wall along any angle, stamp circles and rectangles, towers snap onto the wall.
  • Divine acts: the finger of god, held lightning, frost nova and an asteroid with a lasting crater.
  • Dragon riders as your own unit. They take off when the horde is thick enough and burn lanes through it.
  • Seven battlefields, from desert canyons and river deltas to snow passes and a volcano.
  • Readable at every zoom level, from the whole valley down to a single spearman.
