Choose your hero. Choose your level. And defend your rift

If you've played one Orcs Must Die! game, then you've played them all... or at least that's what it appears on first glance.

The gameplay retains the exact same level of chaotic fun as previous installments and the basic mechanics are pretty much unchanged. Choose your hero. Choose your level. And defend your rift from a seemingly endless herd of orcs, ogres, goblins and numerous other undesirable beasts.

The castle doors are thrown wide open to new franchise features, including: Four-player co-op; Deeper progression systems; Rogue-lite build options; Expanded level variety and vast outdoor fantasy environment.

The game introduces new War Mages, each with unique weapons, abilities, traps, and personality. Each hero is tailored to different play styles and can operate independently or work together with complementing heroes, ensuring versatile and mighty orc-smashing.

You can play alone or with friends or strangers. The game is designed to adjust to the number of players, ensuring a balanced contest in any combination.

The early levels help ease you into the mechanics, laying traps, blocking off routes and ensuring that you herd the rampaging army into areas that make them easier to dispatch.

The new game is as fun as ever, but you're going to get the most out of this playing with friends.
