Orcs Must Die! 2
I mentioned before that the zombie franchise is an entity that just won’t die. But honestly, I think the simplest reason why zombies are so common to blow up is they serve as a basic, inoffensive, massive force that is great cannon fodder for players to massacre. We did this with several World War II games with the Nazis, and BioWare’s Darkspawn in the Dragon Age games are the equivalent of orcs that need swords pushed into their chest to give us five experience points. Speaking of orcs, Robot Entertainment are letting us kill another wave of the green brutes for points in Orcs Must Die! 2, with pre-orders starting today.
Orcs Must Die! 2 starts immediately after the first game, Orcs Must Die! The War Mage finds a new horde of thugs to slaughter with his array of traps and enchanted crossbow. This time he isn’t alone (orcs don’t count) as he is joined by a powerful Sorceress, an ex-War Mage who is responsible for the destruction of the Magical Order from the first game. The Sorceress isn’t just a reskin of the War Mage as she uses advanced sorcery and mind-control to manipulate the orc horde. But the Orc horde has their own upgrade by adding Earth Elementals, Trolls, and Bile Bats to their ranks. Players can take on the horde as either the War Mage or the Sorceress, alone or through co-op through a story-based campaign or endless mode. Any players that owns the original copy of Orcs Must Die! will unlock co-op versions of ten fan favorite levels from the original game. There they can use all the new powers of the Sorceress or the new traps, weapons, and guardians (more than 50) that the War Mage brings!
Orcs Must Die! 2 will be available as a digital exclusive game to the PC on July 30th. Pre-orders start now at 10% off. If you missed out on the original Orcs Must Die!, you can get it for 50% off from Steam right now.
