About The Scouring
The Scouring is a real-time strategy game in Early Access, developed and published by Orc Group. Steam release date: 12 August 2025.
Humans and orcs fight over the same land in a game that openly draws on the classic fantasy RTS games of the early 2000s. You gather resources, build bases, train armies and use magic and cannons in battle, and every night both sides must hold off waves of undead. A separate hero mode lets you control one powerful character in action-RPG style, collecting items and gear while the AI runs your army and base. Multiplayer supports up to 8 players, and Steam Workshop support adds custom maps, modes and AI scripts. The game is still in Early Access and will keep changing.

Related Games
The base building, wood-and-gold economy and castle walls in The Scouring will feel familiar to anyone who has played Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition, which trades orcs and magic for crusaders, sieges and a much heavier focus on fortifications. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is the natural next step if you want the classic RTS loop at its most polished, with dozens of civilisations and a huge competitive scene. For faster, more aggressive skirmishes with very different factions, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars EA App Key Global still holds up well. And if The Scouring's hero mode is what hooked you, Mount & Blade: Warband GOG.COM Key Global puts you in the saddle as a single fighter who slowly grows into a lord commanding his own army.
