All Hail the Orb

Overall, I enjoyed the six hours I spent in All Hail the Orb, clicking my way to becoming the best duck cult. While this game can be played as an idler once you unlock the automation upgrades, I still preferred to play it more actively so I could keep track of my cultists and their unsanctioned break times.

All Hail the Orb is a short, absurdly satisfying incremental clicker that turns dopamine-chasing automation and duck-fueled nonsense into one of the easiest recommendations on PC right now.

All Hail the Orb is a nice, enjoyable game, different from the usual and with a strong identity, but which also remains confined within limits that it never fully manages to overcome.

However, I would have liked a bit more polish in a few places. When I analyze a relic for the first time and am then told that I’ve already used this combination before, it initially feels quite confusing. Not all elements were consistently clickable either, and I often had to adjust the camera perspective more than should have been necessary—especially when nothing was actually overlapping my cultists that I was trying to select. But that said, I didn’t encounter any major issues that significantly impacted the overall gameplay experience during my time with the game. In fact, I consider this short, snappy structure to be one of its greatest strengths. Combined with a very charming and well-executed pixel art style and consistently entertaining humor, I can only recommend All Hail The Orb to fans of idle games. The updates feel cleverly designed, with individual goals always kept within reach without becoming frustrating. I can easily imagine All Hail The Orb being expanded further over time. If that happens, you’ve got my mouse—and my cultists.
