The title insists there are no orcs. The battlefield, and the swarm of troops marching across it, tell their own story.

There Are No Orcs is out now on Steam, developer BaseTrade Studio and publisher Gamirror Games announced. The game is an RTS-roguelike hybrid with auto-battling troops.

Players master building placement, swarm their enemies, and smash their defenses with unit-commander combos. Because troops fight on their own once deployed, the strategy sits in the decisions made before and between battles: where buildings go, which units take the field, and how commanders combine with the swarm.

The roguelike structure means each run reshuffles the challenge, pushing players to adapt their placements and combos rather than memorize a single winning layout. It is real-time strategy stripped down to its most readable decisions, with the spectacle of a full auto-battler on top.

For strategy players who like watching a plan come together, and roguelike players who like rebuilding that plan from scratch every run, There Are No Orcs sits in a sweet spot between the two genres. Commanders add the personal touch: the right pairing between a commander and a unit type can turn a stalemate into a rout, and finding those combinations is the game’s central puzzle.

There Are No Orcs is available now on PC via Steam.

There is only one way out of the laboratory in GeoJelly, and it is straight up. The jump-only puzzle platformer from Source Byte has bounced onto Xbox, bringing more than 50 levels of carefully measured leaps to a new audience.

GeoJelly launched on Xbox on November 5, 2026, and is also available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, where it costs $4.99 and has a free demo. In the game, the jelly hero can only jump — hold to charge, release to leap, and measure every jump to escape the test chambers.

Diamonds collected along the way unlock new levels, and the more you collect, the more levels open up. Levels do not have to be played in order, and an easy mode with aim and a hard mode let players choose how punishing the jumping gets.

More than 50 levels span different themes, with black holes, jump pads, windmills, cannons and spikes standing between the jelly and the exit. Logical puzzles and speedrunner-friendly design reward players who learn each chamber inside out.

GeoJelly is out now on Xbox, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, with a free demo available on Steam. The Steam version runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, and more details are on the developer’s website at source-byte.com.
