Orcs Must Die! Unchained

Orcs Must Die! Unchained is an action tower defense game set years after the events of Orcs Must Die! 2. You join up to two other players to defend magical gateways called rifts from invading monsters, building traps and fighting enemies directly. Maximillian and Gabriella have been rebuilding the Order, but now face the Unchained: an organized army led by powerful heroes.

Defend the rifts

Heroes from far and wide wage war for control of the rifts and the worlds beyond them. You build gauntlets of traps to stop the invading hordes before they reach a rift, while also attacking enemies yourself. Traps can hack, grind, flatten, incinerate and otherwise dispatch the monsters; elemental powers and physics also help you shape your defenses.

Heroes and traps

You unlock traps by playing and upgrade them to make them more deadly. Each battle lets you customize your strategy and cover fortresses with traps. A range of heroes offers different ways to fight, including returning characters Max and Gabriella, alongside Blackpaw, Hogarth, Stinkeye and Bloodspike.

Game modes

• Survival: Team up in three-player co-op to defend against waves of monsters.
• Endless: Return to the long-running mode, now expanded for three-player co-op.
• Sabotage: Two teams of three defend rifts on the same map in separate dimensions. Each team can send spells, minions and huge bosses to distract the other and cost it rift points; the team with the most points at the end wins.

Weekly Challenges and Daily Quests offer chances to unlock extra traps and upgrade parts.
