Like most action RPGs, ORC’s focus is killing endless waves of bad guys. An action RPG is nothing without the slot machine rush of finding that next axe, or equipping that next shield. The first thing it does right - and most importantly as far as I’m concerned - is loot. That said, ORC: Vengeance is a damned fine game - easily the best action RPG I’ve had the pleasure of playing on my iPad.
What am I trying to say by telling you how hours I’ve spent playing Diablo III? Beside the therapeutic benefits of confessing to the public that I spend too many hours playing games, I’m trying to instill some confidence that I know a thing or two about action RPGs.

I’ve logged over 80 hours of playtime with a handful of characters… to other fans of the series this may not be very much time at all, but it’s a lot for me. I found a few fun examples, but none that were able to deliver a thrill on the caliber of one of my all time favorites, Diablo.īefore I go on, I just want to say that Diablo III has snared me in a way that no game has for quite some time. One particular itch I wasn’t able to scratch was the action RPG (maybe I didn’t look hard enough). I found myself searching out iOS examples of my favorite genres, to see how they differed on the touchscreen. I wouldn’t say I was blown away either, though.įor the most part the games I played were decent. I enjoyed a solid month of new games, sampling different genres and exploring the platform’s departures from the norm. When I finally got my hands on one, I wouldn’t say I was disappointed.
I understood the iPad to be some sort of ice breaker crunching its way through frozen waters, forging a veritable northwest passage through the calcified husk of popular gaming. For years I had been listening to podcasts in which video game luminaries spoke praises of the mobile device. This past Christmas I got myself an iPad. The most loot-happy action RPG we’ve played on the App Store
