The story of "Orc Raid" is described as a coherent but ultimately underwhelming experience, with a decent concept that lacks depth and excitement. While it provides a clear narrative progression, players find it somewhat boring and marred by glitches, particularly during boss encounters. Overall, it offers a basic storyline that is better than many similar games, but it doesn't stand out as remarkable.
- “Many games of this fashion tend to not have a coherent story or plot that makes sense, so at least 'Orc Raid' has that going for it.”
- “From what I've played so far, the campaign actually has a pretty decent story as well, which I didn't expect it to have.”
- “The story itself is obviously not the best, but I do give the game credit for actually having one that at least makes sense.”
- “I honestly thought I was stuck in limbo until I realized I just needed to kill enough orcs to progress the story, so thankfully, although the game appears broken, you'll still be able to move forward; just have a bit of patience.”
- “There's a story mode and an endless survival mode with a ranked community ladder.”

The gameplay of "Orc Raid" is characterized by a mix of chaotic and repetitive mechanics, with players often relying on kiting strategies to avoid being overwhelmed by enemies. While the weapon variety is appreciated, the experience is marred by glitches, awkward physics, and a lack of diversity in gameplay elements, leading to a somewhat shallow and frustrating experience overall. Despite its cartoonish graphics and some fun moments, many players find the gameplay lacking in depth and polish.
- “The somewhat chaotic and intense gameplay mainly involves a whole lot of intelligent kiting so that you don't accidentally trap yourself in between the trail of orcs and a barrier or a rock, or worse, run right into another group of orcs who's making a beeline for you.”
- “+ has a pretty fun and hectic gameplay.”
- “Basic, but effective gameplay and interesting weapons to learn.”
- “Deeply shallow gameplay is matched with a deeply mediocre implementation, resulting in poor quality gameplay and awful sound effects. The rapid-fire bow and arrow mechanics are unrealistic; these guys don't know how bows and arrows work—they aren't machine guns.”
- “With little variety in gameplay, along with awkward physics and movement, 'Orc Raid' isn't a great game to play if you're wishing to scratch that wave-based survival itch.”
- “The somewhat chaotic and intense gameplay mainly involves a lot of intelligent kiting to avoid accidentally trapping yourself between a trail of orcs and a barrier or a rock, or worse, running right into another group of orcs making a beeline for you.”

The graphics of the game are described as cartoonish and colorful, appealing to some players for their bright and fantasy-themed aesthetic. However, others find the visuals reminiscent of children's games, and there are concerns about glitches that detract from the overall experience. While the graphical style is generally praised, players express a desire for more graphical options and improvements in gameplay variety.
- “I personally don't mind and actually quite adore these types of visuals as they're easy on the eyes, bright, colorful, and complement the whole fantasy theme.”
- “The look, colors, and graphical style is spot on for this game in my opinion, but the gameplay could use some more variety.”
- “Visuals are on point, so a further focus on content/ways to play the game and have fun with it would improve it.”
- “Many players aren't fond of graphics that resemble a game for younger audiences, and when I first saw this game, I honestly thought it was a game for kids.”
- “So, I think that either the minimum requirements of the game should be increased or the low graphics setting of the main menu needs to lower the graphics even more.”
- “This game is pretty glitchy. The style looks like a cartoon, which I think is pretty good, but the graphics are not well executed. Bosses sometimes don't spawn, and enemies appear above you, making the experience frustrating.”

Users find the volume settings problematic, as they significantly impact the music's clarity without affecting other sound elements. Overall, the music fails to impress and is described as lacking uniqueness.
- “The first thing I noticed was that increasing the volume for music not only makes it louder, but it butchers the quality of it as well.”
- “As if the game had a built-in speaker that couldn't handle the game's music being so loud.”
- “Nothing special here aside from the quite peculiar ear-raping volume setting for the music.”

- “The stability of the game is impressive; I can play for hours without any performance issues.”

- “The end boss is glitched, which made the final experience disappointing. I managed to beat the game, but the glitches really took away from the overall enjoyment.”
