Great Game

Gotta hankering for mass murdering orc's while they charge linear paths and try to kill you and your nexus? lol Well buy this game. Its kinda one of those games you can just pick up and put down and always come back. The leaderboards are a nice addition if you're feeling competitive with friends or online players. I recommend playing with a friend tho lol. Just makes it much more fun and better time investment.

core game play is simple. Kill X waves of enemies get gold spend on a Large verity of traps to stop the enemy dead in their tracks! You'll find out soon that each new level gets a bit more difficult and always has a twist. Either new paths for the enemy or a new type. Flying , Elemental , Troll, or special unit with unique aspect.

The starting levels are pretty simple but later planning and resource management will be a thing. But its always fun to retry for that perfect score. :)

Buy it and have a good time with a friend totally worth it. :)

Great game.
But as of Auguest 9th after a Windows 10 update. I can no longer play the game, I will bring out my OLD laptop to play this game. So warning to all those who have Windows 10, this game may not work.
Untill there is a fix, I cannot vote "yes" just because I know people will get super upset and mad if they cannot enjoy and eperience this great game.

I had a taste for Dungeon Keeper. This wasn't it but it's a damn good game. The best part is playing with a buddy since you have to think more but can cause more mayhem.

Only downside is when you make a character, then complete everything, you aren't encouraged to make another character since you have to unlock all the levels again. That can be quite annoying.

Shut down for no reason on win10 even make system crash. My DirectX is previous edition. So what hell was that?

Orcs Must Die! 2 is a spin on the tower defense formula that puts you in the role of either a war mage or a sorceress tasked with defending rifts from waves of orcs. This game maintains the same charm as the first entry but with a significant number of more play options. There are now multiple modes to play on and almost all maps will now give you "bonus skulls" which you can now grind. With these skulls you can now upgrade traps multiple times, making them more deadly than ever before. As I mentioned earlier there are now two characters to play as. I personally went with the war mage just to keep with something that is familiar to me. Both characters have slightly different trap sets and I did try playing as the sorceress for a few levels and although her traps were different, they were very fun to use.

The new modes are really what elevates this game as a sequel. In the original there was pretty much one mode with two difficulties. Now you have modes like Endless and Classic that are definitely worth checking out and are useful for getting extra skulls. You'll be needing to grind a little to take care of the story mode on Nightmare. While it's not overall as hard as the first game, if you're going for five skulls you'll have your work cut out for you. Additionally there is a co-op mode which actually fits in perfectly. Each team member has a slightly limited number of traps they can bring, but with another player on the field things never felt unfair.

In addition to new modes are a number of new traps, weapons, and items called "trinkets" that can do anything from restoring your health to immediately resetting all your traps. Like the traps, weapons and trinkets can be upgraded permanently as well for increased effectiveness and bonus effects. While I didn't find myself using many of the newer traps in the earlier levels I found many of them almost necessary to get that five skull rating.

With a slightly overhauled upgrade system, more maps, and more modes, Orcs Must Die! 2 is a phenomenal sequel to an already great game. There is significantly more to do and DLC, Endless, and Co-Op modes add a significant amount of replayability that the first game somewhat lacked.

9.5/10

This game is just as addicting and fun, as the original. Plus it gives you a new toon to play as...... with BOOBS. lol.

So much fun. The modders really make this game shine after you have done all you care to do in the core game. You like tower defense games? You like humor? Get it. I somtimes wish they had a few more traps. But there are pleanty as well, if that makes sense. Overall, just hella fun game for it's genre.

Lots of fun shooting stuff

One of the best games ever made. Playing, then play it again and again to maximize your kill-boxes and climb the leader-boards.
