The gameplay of "Orc Massage" is characterized by its unique massage mechanics and engaging character interactions, though it suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of depth. While the core mechanics are enjoyable and the art design is appealing, many players find the gameplay loop simplistic and marred by bugs and unclear tutorials. Overall, the game shows promise but requires further refinement and content expansion to enhance the player experience.
- “The gameplay, while simple, is interesting and unique enough for me to want more.”
- “The gameplay loop is simple, sure, but the character designs are engaging, and the animations for the naughtier stuff are superb.”
- “The gameplay is entertaining, and the happy ending scenes are pretty top tier.”
- “The gameplay is very repetitive with constant unnecessary cutscenes that drag it out (i.e., every time your orc levels up an ability, you get the same cutscene where an item is delivered to his house and he works out).”
- “0 updates in the past 3 years, the gameplay is repetitive and boring after the first 10 times.”
- “The actual gameplay side of things can be unbearably repetitive even if all you're here for is to get straight to the porn scenes.”

The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players praising its quirky and humorous premise, engaging character backstories, and immersive world-building, while others criticize it for being unfinished, lacking depth, or overly simplistic. Many reviews highlight the potential for future story development, expressing hope for more content and character arcs as the game evolves. Overall, while the narrative has its charm and moments of creativity, it often feels incomplete and in need of further refinement.
- “A truly inspirational story for this wonderfully and tastefully packaged experience.”
- “The story is surprisingly extensive.”
- “This harrowing story of an orc masseuse turned sex-worker just to make his way through life was well worth the price.”
- “Many screens contain 'coming soon' messages and no storyline has its ending implemented.”
- “A true gem in the Steam h-game catalog... if you're willing to deal with the fact that its story is unfinished and that development moves forward at a snail's pace.”
- “I understand that it's still in early access, but it feels really repetitive. Not to mention it only takes like 4 or 5 in-game days to max out every skill and stat. There's also no cohesive story or conceivable path to an ending.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and tedious, particularly in the money-earning mini-game. While some appreciate the steady stream of new content and the overall enjoyment of the game, others feel that the grind detracts from the experience, making it feel like a chore to unlock all features. Overall, players suggest that the grinding could benefit from reworking to enhance engagement and reduce monotony.
- “Overall, oddly relaxing game so far, still a lot of things that can/will be added to further enjoy the game 'quality of life' mostly for me, but otherwise it isn't too grindy for leveling up upgrades when you progress.”
- “Because this game is just a great way to kill time and relax and do something that's not really tedious to do for an hour or two, whether hentai or not.”
- “The actual 'game' portion is not tedious or overwhelming, perfect mini game that you want for an erotic game, actually fun.”
- “The game itself is enjoyable, though the grind can get a bit tedious.”
- “Overall, a very worthwhile game that can be a bit repetitive/grindy to unlock all content normally, but does provide enough interesting content that even if you win the lotto (save file modification cheating) to quickly get all the upgrades to greatly simplify progression, it can take several hours to unlock all the girls' animations.”
- “The downside is the grinding for money.”

Character development in the game is generally viewed as lacking depth, with many players praising the character designs and animations while expressing disappointment in the minimal personality and narrative growth of the characters. Despite the stunning visuals and creativity in character aesthetics, there is a consensus that the game falls short in providing meaningful character arcs or engaging storytelling. Overall, while the character designs are celebrated for their uniqueness and appeal, the absence of substantial character development leaves players wanting more.
- “It looks insane, it is proof that 3D scenes can be gorgeous, the character designs are distinct, memorable, and lovable; the creativity of the poses and movements is truly amazing.”
- “The strongest point of this game is character design.”
- “I absolutely love the character designs for the ladies, especially the raven gal, the mermaid, and the dragon gal who's a work in progress as of this review!”
- “I do like the monster girl character designs (in my opinion, the harpy and tiger girls in particular are very cute!) but they have almost no personality to speak of.”
- “I really liked the female character designs and their animations, but that is worthless if I cannot play the game well enough to advance, right?”
- “Only good thing I can say about it is the animation loops are decent, the character designs are alright, but the visuals aren't anything to write home about and it is still severely lacking in content and mostly padded with mundane gameplay to stretch out the amount of time it takes to actually unlock the scenes, which you don't get much mileage out of.”

- “The game doesn't have any music in the regular gameplay; only the main menu and the rhythm minigame features any music.”
- “The way you earn money is by playing a rhythm game where you only press or abstain from pressing your left mouse button when prompted by some of the most boring elevator-quality music beats.”
- “Too many instances where no background music is playing.”
