Unleashing Orken: A Primitive Western Saga of Orcs and Humans

**Announcement Trailer for Orken**

Publisher **SIXMOREVODKA** and developer **Demagog Studio** have officially revealed **Orken**, an action RPG centered on the conflict between orcs and humans. The exact release date has yet to be disclosed, but a demo will be available starting February 26.

The creators describe **Orken** as a «Neanderthal Western,» offering a grounded take on the classic theme of «Orcs vs. Humans.» The project focuses on a narrative enriched by character development, reminiscent of **Mass Effect**, combined with thoughtful combat inspired by **Dark Souls**. The visual style is striking and graphic, with developers citing **Hi-Fi RUSH** as a key influence for the game’s aesthetics.

**SIXMOREVODKA** is responsible for the world-building and artistic direction, while **Demagog Studio** is focused on gameplay mechanics and combat systems. **Orken** is set within a larger universe conceptualized by artist **Marko Djurdjevic**, although the game itself is intended to stand alone as a distinct story.

The narrative follows a young warrior from the Khar tribe named Koltek. After the mysterious disappearance of his best friend, he assembles a group of allies to embark on a perilous journey through uncharted lands. As their quest unfolds, the heroes uncover an impending disaster threatening their homeland, Edom. Koltek wields a battle hammer known as the «Vicar’s Bite» and harnesses the power of a totem that grants him unique abilities.

The gameplay of **Orken** blends elements from **Dark Souls** and **Dragon’s Dogma**. Combat revolves around stamina management, dodging, and precise strike timing. Special abilities have cooldowns and enhance basic attacks. Enemies have a stamina gauge that, when filled, causes them to lose balance and become vulnerable to finishing blows.

Character progression is tied to the «Atman» system—a totemic pillar that reflects Koltek’s connection to the spirit world. As players advance, they unlock new levels and abilities to combine, allowing for the strengthening of certain effects while disabling others. The narrative is shaped by dialogue choices and key decisions: characters respond to the hero’s actions, and chosen allies and foes impact subsequent events.

Harness the power of a mighty totem in the «Neanderthal Western» **Orken**, available on PC through [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4146090/Orken). Currently, only an English localization is confirmed.
