Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a real-time strategy game (RTS), developed by Blizzard Entertainment and published by Blizzard and Interplay Productions.
The player takes the role of either the Human inhabitants of Azeroth, or the invading Orcs.
In the single player campaign mode the player works through a series of missions, the objective of which varies, but usually involves building a small town, harvesting resources, building an army and then leading it to victory.
In multiplayer games, the objective is always to destroy the enemy players’ forces.
Some scenarios are complicated by the presence of wild monsters, but sometimes these monsters can be used as troops.
The game plays in a medieval setting with fantasy elements. Both sides have melee units and ranged units, and also spellcasters.
