An incredibly robust and enjoyable take on the tower defense genre. Tight controls, a plethora of options, and a general fun factor that keeps you coming back again, and again, and again. It is hard not to love this game.
I can recommend that anyone who doesn’t sympathise with Orcs to try this, as it offers a great combination of some of the best aspects of RPGs and tower defence games. Whilst it may lack on the truly high end tactical nous, the intelligent combination of gently balanced opposites: mass-slaughtering enemies (grinding to some) with the rather cerebral tactical aspects of tower defence holds a little for just about everybody. Ultimately it’s fun, light hearted, and a great way to escape into a virtual world for a few hours.
Orcs Must Die embellishes your devious side, encouraging you to devise clever ways of fulfilling the command of the title. For the not-so-clever, mowing down invaders with an automatic crossbow is also a great time. Whatever your approach, an orc's pain is your gain. You must download, because Orcs Must Die.
A white-knuckle blend of action and strategy, Orcs Must Die! challenges players to defend fortresses under siege.
