“i love orcs must die 2 as much as i enjoyed orcs must die 1 OMD 1 had some issues with animations but for me haven't crashed but sadly due to OMD 2 being old, the game doesn't work well on newer systems and tends to crash when you finish…”
“No longer playable. Crashes at the end of a game every game. Known error for a long time and devs won't fix it. Don't waste your money.”
