From Fika Productions is Don’t Kill Them All – an emotionally intelligent turn-based strategy base-builder. It’s coming to PC and consoles, but before that is the small matter of a Kickstarter campaign.
In Don’t Kill Them All you’ll get to guide an Orc clan as they go looking for inner peace. Working turn-based strategy and base-building, it’s here where your task to help save these Orcs comes in. If you don’t? Well, their destructive and bloodthirsty urges will come to the fore.
Just Don’t Kill Them All…
It’s probably best that you get involved in Don’t Kill Them All then, creating a base that will suit your clan’s needs, all before taking them out on the most intense of raids, gathering up resources, capturing those that they find.
With Fika Productions previously behind Ship of Fools (a game that we reviewed with a 4.5/5 score), there should be some decent anticipation for this one, as it prepares to launch on PC and console. But before that comes the Kickstarter campaign – running right now.
A goal of £58,309 is in place for Don’t Kill Them All. And as we type, it’s well on the way to fruitiion, having already gathered up a good few hundred backers. With the usual tiers and perks in place for anyone willing to chuck money at the project, give the Don’t Kill Them All Kickstarter page a hit.
Key features
Upon completion, Don’t Kill Them All will look to run the following key features…
- Your Objective – T-orc-xic behaviours are running rampant in your clan, and the orcs need your help to come together and ease their violent ways. Help them build their camp, gather resources, and attain glory for the clan, all while remaining mindful, prioritising relationships, and sustaining your environment. However, not everyone is on board with your mindful reformation project and many will attempt to impede your progress!
- Mindful Turn-Based Combat – Restraint doesn’t come easily to an Orc. When you attack the opposition, you might end up damaging the very resources you’re out to gather or creatures you’re trying to protect. Orcs’ listening skills also aren’t the best—you can only make so many commands before you run out of energy, so choose your moves sparingly!
- Basebuilding with Care – Camp is where the Orc-heart is. It’s a space for your orcs to embrace their passions and nurture their wellbeing, be that through doing some yoga, baking, raising animals, or putting on a magic show. It’s also, of course, a place for a good old fight!
- Embark on Perilous Raids – To gather precious resources, take your orcs out on daring raids! Unveil a large map as you traverse diverse biomes, all with their own creatures to discover, resources to gather, and monsters to (prudently) crush. Those who stay will take pleasure in engaging in self-care activities, maintaining the mindful stability of your camp as a result.
- Moods – As an emotionally adept life coach, it’s up to you to get underneath the murderous, thorny, dreadful exterior of each orc, and bring out the vulnerable, mushy feelings within. Enhancing the well-being of orcs not only boosts their overall quality of life but also makes raiding and battling much easier! For example, a cheerful orc will skip swiftly across the battlefield, covering more ground, while a sad one will lack the motivation to fight if they’ve been left in this state for too long.
Let the devs talk you into a Kickstarter
“We’re so excited to announce our emotionally attuned Orcs to the world,” said Antoine Grégoire-Slight, producer and co-founder of Fika Productions. “Never before have these creatures learned about sensitivity, camaraderie, and sustainability in such depth – Don’t Kill Them All is treading fresh ground in the Orc compendium.”
Will you be getting involved in the Kickstarter for this? If not, perhaps pay the Steam page a visit and chuck a Wishlist in. Every little helps.
We’ll keep you looped as to how Don’t Kill Them All fares ahead of launch on PC and console.
