Robot Entertainment’s third-person, action-oriented, tower defense game, Orcs Must Die, is currently available for the Xbox Live Arcade today. The game features a mix of bloody good traps fused with some classic sword-swiping, Orc slashing action.
As stated in the press release…
Orcs Must Die! is an action-strategy game that challenges players to defend fortresses under siege. With a wide variety of traps and weapons to choose from, Orcs Must Die! dares players to find the best ways to hack, launch, flatten, gibletize, and incinerate an endless army of filthy orcs and their vile allies. Orcs Must Die! features a vibrant look, addictive gameplay, and a blatant disregard for the welfare of orcs.
One of the highlights of the game is how traps can be combined together to create the ultimate, devastating contraption of pain, suffering and mutilation. Spiked strips, pendulums of pain, spring traps over lava, rotating axe grinders, swinging blades, ceiling pikes, endless pits, etc., etc., etc., all these horrible devices that would otherwise make you cringe if you seen them put to use in a SAW film can be utilized with pinpoint precision in Orcs Must Die to protect your stronghold and strategically shrink down invading forces.
The only thing this game is missing is a delightful cooperative mode to hack, slash, dice and slice those Orcs to pieces. A complete list of the game’s features can be viewed below. You can pick up a digital copy of Orcs Must Die right now for the Xbox 360 for only 1200 MS Points. Need more info or want to learn more? Feel free to visit the Official Website.
