What it is
Orcs Must Die! Unchained is a tower defense game from Robot Entertainment, released for Windows. It mixes action and strategy as players build traps to stop invading monsters. Set years after Orcs Must Die! 2, the game follows Maximillian and Gabriella as they rebuild the Order and face the Unchained, an organized force led by powerful heroes. Its team play supports three-player cooperation: friends can join PvE Survival to defend together or test their teamwork in Sabotage Mode. The game also includes single-player play, Steam Achievements, in-app purchases, partial controller support and Family Sharing. Its setting brings back the fantasy world of the earlier games, with new rifts and worlds drawing heroes into a war over magical gateways. Players can combine traps and direct combat to take on the monster waves, making coordination part of the defense.
