The Scouring
What might a modern RTS look like that draws inspiration from classics such as Warcraft II and III, while also introducing new ideas? The answer comes from The Scouring by Orc Group, which is already making a strong impression in the Early Access phase.
The Scouring is a real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Orc Group. Released on Steam in Early Access in August 2025, it combines classic fantasy elements with modern mechanics. The focus is on the conflict between humans and orcs, with the typical RTS elements of base building, resource gathering and raising mighty armies. A day-night cycle enhances the game, in which both factions must defend themselves against increasingly strong waves of undead at night if the player chooses this option.
