I’m jonesing for these tower defense games. The first edition was released by Robot Entertainment in 2011, Orcs Must Die 2 came out in 2012, OMD Unchained (online multi-player) was from 2014 and OMD 3 was from 2020/2021. They’re all great fun and I am sad that we may never get an OMD 4. Game 1 was single-player, 2 and 3 had coop mode too.

I toyed with the idea of creating a community here for the games, but I’m not sure there are enough fans / enough things to talk about now.

For now, here’s an awesome slide show from Unchained, for any fans: https://de.ign.com/orcs-must-die-unchained-ps4/112585/gallery/embed

    Orcs Must Die was one of the last series that my friend and I played in co-op. We went from League (burn out) to recapturing some true gaming magic thanks to these games. I don’t play multiplayer these days but thanks for reminding me to give the 3rd entry a solo try.

    I tried the series and was never a huge fan, (I was always a Sanctum kinda guy) but picked up Orcs Must Die 3 recently and been really enjoying it! Seems like the best in the series so far.

    Still waiting on Sanctum 3 tho

    Ohh, never know there’s omd3, only heard about unchained being f2p and lost interest with the franchise from then on. Might give omd3 a try in the future, omd1/2 is great fun

      Omd3 is pretty cool it has these “war” levels that have massive massive hoards and you get new traps to deal with them.

        I think I’ve played OMD3 the most now and right, that’s largely because of the new options, traps and weapons. Robot did a great job moving the series foreword without removing any of the fun. And the DLC just extended that a lot more.
