Orcs Must Die! 3

Orcs Must Die! 3 returns to the series' core loop, filling a castle with traps and then carving, burning, tossing and zapping the orc hordes that pour through it, and pushes the scale far past the first two games. It plays solo or in two-player co-op, with more orcs, more traps, more weapons and more upgrades than before.

The story jumps more than twenty years past Orcs Must Die! 2: the War Mage and Sorceress have rebuilt their order and trained a new generation of apprentices. New War Scenarios deliver on the franchise's original promise of massive battles, sending overwhelming armies across the open fields around the castles, and mountable War Machines act as oversized traps, from a mega flip trap that launches dozens of ragdolling orcs to a mega boom barrel launcher built for sheer pyrotechnics.

The orcs keep coming long after the campaign ends. Weekly Challenges and an Endless Mode test how long you can hold out, the Drastic Steps campaign adds flying enemies and war guardians for free, and a Scramble Mode pits you against orcs that evolve nastier tricks each level, though every level you survive hands you a modifier of your own to fight back with.
