Play Knight Orc Online

Game Overview

Knight Orc is one of those weird, wonderful MS-DOS games that somehow got lost in time. You play as Grishnak, an orc who’s sick of being the bad guy—so he sets out to prove he’s more than just some dumb brute for heroes to slaughter. The game’s a mix of turn-based fights and point-and-click adventure nonsense, where you’ll haggle with dwarves, trick wizards, and probably get set on fire at least once.

What really stuck with me was the writing—it’s got this dry, sarcastic humor that pokes fun at fantasy tropes while still letting you smash things with an axe. The combat’s simple but satisfying, and half the fun comes from seeing how badly you can mess up before reloading. If you ever played old-school RPGs and thought, "Man, orcs get a raw deal," this is basically your revenge fantasy in pixel form.

It’s janky in that classic '90s way, but that’s part of the charm. Just don’t expect the dragon to play fair.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
