“I loved Orcs must die 2. I loved in that game you had to be clever with kill boxes to rack up as many points as possible. This game changes the focus on it doesn't matter how you kill them, just kill them fast and don't let anyone through…”

“Take everything that was great about Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 and ruin it on purpose with a free to play gimmick? Sorry, not for me. Another entry in the series would have been much better with 4-5 player co-op and no free to play gimicks…”
