Orcs Must Die has always been a unique series of games - combining both tower defence and RTS-like mechanics, you could play alone or with a friend - and put a stop to the horde once and for all.. Maybe? Orcs Must Die 2 introduced another playable character - your foe from the original game, the Sorceress. You were able to play as either the War Mage or the Sorceress in a multiplayer game with a friend - which lead to even more mayhem than before!

Orcs Must Die: Unchained introduces a whole new depth to the game past adding a single character. They’ve tweaked the game to make it a MOBA, whilst still keeping the original feel of Orcs Must Die. You can now play in 5v5 matches with friends (because you know, you’ve probably got more than one friend) and try out new heroes from the new roster - with 12 already in there and more sure to be added - it will certainly give you plenty to do!



One of the key feature changes is that you are now able to release waves of your own mobs against the enemy, which will slowly break their defences and push them back - eventually taking their rift. All the while, they’re trying to do the same to you - this new gameplay style is very reminiscent of Monday Night Combat. You even have guardians to guard certain areas and protect your assets!



At EGX Rezzed this year, Orcs Must Die had quite a reception, with a whole room to themselves and a queue nearly trailing out the door to try out the new game!



I’ll let you in on something you probably didn’t know though - the beta is available now, and best of all it’s free to play! So if you’d like to check it out, head on over to http://store.steampowered.com/app/427270/ and give it a go!

This looks to be the definitive Orcs Must Die experience, I hope you’re excited for it… I know we are!
