What players say

Players are sharply divided on ORX. Many say the game was fun until a major update removed content and broke core mechanics, with bugs causing crashes and impossible battles. Others appreciate the unique Carcassonne-meets-tower-defense concept and say the developer is actively fixing issues, though balance is still awkward.
