Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap

The game just isn't good. It's like some one took the OMD formula, didn't understand why people liked it, and then made it worse in every way. I loved OMD1, OMD2, OMD:U, and OMD3. - The game seems like it is very poorly optimized. Pretty sure it takes more resource to run this on "high" than it does to run doom eternal. I have a 7900xtx and I ended up turning settings down because I didn't want to heat the room with my GPU. - You can't replay specific levels. So no more experimenting and trying different load outs on your favorite map. There is no going through this game to 5 star/skull every level on normal and nightmare to be a completionist. - The trap upgrades are all random and per run. So no more specifically adding bleed or fire or something to a trap for more combos. Some of them are also total nonsense like changing the flip trap into the big flip trap which have totally different uses. Some times you don't get the upgrade you want, like flip traps affecting ogre...

Orcs must die but on a diet. Orcs Must Die 3 is far superior. Pros: 4 player count Cons: Gameplay feels bland, animations feels very stiff at certain intervals, Its missing character creation, the barricades are limited to a certain amount. Characters are bound to their weapons. The "MMO" style Menu Hub feels over complicated for little to no benefit. It feels like a downgrade. Hopefully in the next iteration they can use all these critical reviews to push a more fleshed out product with more thoughtful design choices instead of limiting the features and adding unnecessary user interface and calling it a day. It feels like the Developers made a game they won't even play themselves when examining the lack of quality of life features already included in past iterations.

I really love this game. I've unlocked every upgrade and gotten almost every thread, and this game is exactly what I want from an OMD game. PROS: It doesn't stray far from the OMD formula, and that's for the better. I like the little changes and tweaks, but at the end of the day I don't need anything too crazy from Orcs Must Die as a series. It's still very satisfying to run around and skewer orcs. The maps we have are all quite nice, though some are a little rough for a solo player. There's a lot of variety in how you can set up your trap hallways. The balance between the player and the traps is well done. I never felt like my Warmage was completely worthless or that my traps were playing second fiddle to the Warmage's attacks. The characters are all pretty great, and in groups they're better. I wish I could have more than 1 weapon per character to pick from, but I'm fine with them as-is. Great music! The Co-Op is great. I've been playing with 2 friends and we've been having...

I've played all orcs must die and this one is the most boring one :( We had fun in all other games, like we'd get super excited to play but this one is just... not the same. The levels are repetitive, the enemies are not fun, the characters are just too much, the cards just add confusion, definitely the worst game of the franchise.

Save your money and time. The devs managed to suck all the fun out of this one compared to OMD3. Very tedious and doesn't lend itself easily if you want to relax for an hour and kill Orcs. Nope, you must bring your A game and micromanage your skills. Just not enjoyable.

Its fun but missing maps, needs many more. Not worth 29.99 yet, OMD3 is more fun and more content

Very grindy and there are only 4 Bosses that u can defeat. After that you have no purpose except leveling your traps and skilltree

I might recommend this for multiplayer; but it's not nearly as fun as the previous ones. There doesn't seem to be any funny missions or story anymore; just a bunch of random gen stuff. And if you want to do multiple missions in a row; you're required to gamble. it's pretty annoying.

No depth, boring af character designs, maps are WAY too large for this style of game. If the devs once had a magic touch with this IP, they clearly lost it with Deathtrap. Avoid this game.

Every other game in the series had endless mode, this one does not. Orcs Must Die 3 was the best in the franchise and you should play that instead. Designer do not understand their player base at all.
