![]() However, some of the games stutters, while infrequent, were incredibly frustrating especially when the baddies were close to my rift and I was trying to time a group shot or snipe a headshot only to have the game judder and several of the beasties make it to freedom. ![]() Orcs Must Die! 3 is a Stadia timed exclusive that shares the cloud-based game streaming services benefits of no lengthy install or update times as well as the ability to play on multiple devices like mobile, Chromecast and PC, Mac and even laptops. You can play War Scenarios in 2 player co-op and which is when this mode feels much more natural with one of you playing traps and the other cutting a bloody swath through the green-skinned brutes. Theses levels are quite challenging due to how open they are as you can't just funnel targets into a kill chute like on a normal map. The most notable addition to Orcs 3 is the War Scenarios, huge maps with up to 1000 enemies and War Machines, that are devastating super-weapons that give you the ability to dispatch them, like a gigantic Flip Trap or the Mega Boom Barrel Launcher. With the skulls, you can purchase upgrades that can add additional damage effects like setting Orcs on fire or electrocution to name but a few maybe you even more deadly. This system also offers lots of replayability with you wanting to try a level one more time to try for a perfect score. Different types of adversaries enter the fray like the very fast and irritating kobolds all with different skills and weaknesses so you'll have to change what types of traps and weapons you use to maximise your effectiveness.Īfter each level, depending on your performance you are awarded skulls, which can be used to unlock new traps items and abilities or to upgrade existing ones. While you try and mop up survivors and up that combo count.īut your fiendish foes have some tricks up their leaves too. You have a finite amount of money to spend on traps before each wave and you earn more during the round for the number of kills, allowing you to bulk up defences and see what didn't work. The game gives you a wicked arsenal and encourages you to experiment and try them all and create terrifying combinations also with the ability to respec all your upgrades and try a different approach. You can unlock a fantastic selection of comically lethal traps like the classic spike traps, giant hammers, saws, boulders, killer bees and they can be used in conjunction with the environment, for example, catapulting orcs into lava or other hazards. You begin by placing your hidden and violent traps in the path of the hoards of rampaging orcs trying to maximise damage and cover all your blindspots and score up your defences but most importantly protect your rift at all costs. The characters and environments are detailed despite dealing with a staggering number of hostiles on screen at one time as well and traps and spells going off. Of course, this game being on Stadia means graphical performance and frame rate are based on your internet connection speed. The game features a cartoony stylised look that's reminiscent of classic game Dungeon Keeper, which while not gritty or realistic it keeps the act of enemies being sliced, diced, thrashed and smashed funny and enjoyable time and time again. Set 20 years after Orcs 2 the order has been rebuilt and you play as one of the new apprentice War Mages training to defend the magic granting rifts against the orc onslaught. ![]() Orcs Must Die! is different in that this is a third-person tower defence game and that plunges you straight in the action meaning you're not only relying on your traps and environmental hazards but also your own skill at dispatching your foul foes with a magical arrow to the face or blunderbuss blast to the chops.
