Orcs Must Die! - A game I just picked up

[Pri]

This game is awesome I got it today on Steam for £11.99 it's basically a tower defence game but with a twist, you are inside the area you are defending in a 3rd person perspective. So not only do you place down objects to kill orcs as they try to get from A to B (like a normal defence game) but you yourself are running around with weapons able to kill orcs too.

It sounds simple but it's really addictive I played it for ages today. If you want to check it out here is the link to it on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/102600/

And there is a demo on steam too so you can try it out for nothing: http://store.steampowered.com/app/102600/

Definitely give this a try. I hope they add multi-player to it in an expansion.

I see that tom has this game actually so maybe he'll weigh in

There is a game very similar to Orcs Must Die, it is called "Dungeon Defenders".

It is basically a Tower Defense-RPG-Hack n' Slash game that you play in 3rd person, 1st person or bird's eye perspective.

Also, there is Multiplayer.

I've seen that game on toms steam page, is it worth getting?

EDIT:// Grabbing the demo, the trailer doesn't really make it look that great but I'll try it out.

I found it really addictive. :p

Well I tried the demo. I didn't like it. lol

Yeah, they seem like very similar concepts with similar gameplay but they are completely different.
I am having a lot of fun with both though.
OMD seems to have quite a bit more strategy involved in it. Not so much a "hack'n'slash" game.

I got this game (with some controversy) and it's super fun. Thanks for recommending it.

Just thought I'd note that Orcs Must Die! is currently £2.99 on Steam as part of their Christmas sales. That's a 75% saving over what I paid originally.

The DLC is also down to just £1.23 for both DLC's

Complete a level with just weapons an the wall arrow thing today to get a present in the steam gift pile whatamajigga.

If you complete a level by about 7PM (GMT) today using just the arrow wall trap and weapons you can get a prize for the achievement. I got a 50% of any Valve game coupon xD.

I uninstalled my controversial version of the game and bought it on Steam with the 2 DLC's for $5. Happy Panda.
