Basically, you're an Orc commando set out to kill the Human emperor, to try and buy your people some relief from the war. You pair up with a Goblin to accomplish the mission, and I'm loathe to discuss the why as I hate spoilers.Gameplay is solid, unlike most RPG's it's not very loot focused. No looting enemy corpses, why would you want puny human sized weapons anyway? No smashing barrels, no destructible environmentals, if there's a chest or a bag you can loot, you'll know.The game is all about the story, and the combat. There are no potions, if you want to heal in combat, learn the skills that increase regen, then hope you don't need them as most are pretty weak. This leads to the absolute necessity for tactics.You will be outnumbered, you'll often be outmatched, and this is where the Goblin, Styx, comes in. You can tab to switch between the active character, and as long as you're not already engaged in a fight, Styx can stealth to quietly assassinate enemies and it can make a huge difference if you do it right. The Humans shout for assistance, so if you charge in, you better be confident you can take them all down. You'll need to focus combat on the stronger opponents, it's not really the kind of game you can let your companion do their own thing. Skills can be assigned to hotkeys, as you would expect, and pressing the spacebar slows combat down immensely. It's not quite paused, but there's more than enough time to react and flick through your skill trees, offensive and defensive for the Orc, and melee and ranged for the Goblin.The music is very atmospheric and it suits, I can't praise the story aspects of the game enough. There are a few questionable things with the writing, but they're few and far between. It is dark, violent, there's a lot of swearing, and if you're not careful in combat then your Orc, Arkail, will go berserk and randomly attack everything, including Styx. There are some techniques to release some rage, and you will need them because if you go berserk too soon into a fight you lose the ability to use any skills or to choose targets. Characters can revive each other mid combat, though not with much health, and there's been quite a few fights when I've had to run away to give one time to recover.It's quite linear, it has a fair few side-quests and they do genuinely seem optional, a few moral choices to make, and on hard mode I got between 11 and 12 hours out of it (according to the counter on Steam, anyway). I'll end up playing it again on the harder mode to try out the different options and skills, and because I don't remember when I enjoyed a story this much
