I wish there was a neutral review. I don't want to say yes, I don't want to say no. But I respect the attempt to branch out and try something new, so I'll put it on positive. Can the game be fun? I'm sure of it. It's still OMD. It's still orc killing goodness. With some more time I'm sure it will get more fun. Though I haven't put too much time into the game yet but my first impressions are very clear. I'm an avid fan of the OMD series with 60+ hours in each game, having completed on max difficulty multiple times. And MAN am I missing some introduction. You start off with a dozen traps, dozen enemies and maps that make my brain hurt. It's big, open, difficult to make fun trap combinations or kill boxes and it is just.. so.. much. The maps are huge and mostly open. No walls, no roofs. Just floor traps, which are barely effective because the space is so big. The only small corridors are stairs where you can't place them. Floor traps are also significantly more expensive (spikes being 800 instead of 300), though income is higher. With the lack of a simple introduction having a few traps and a small area, even though I have so much experience, I felt so lost. I feel a lack of progression being thrown in with so much stuff against so much stuff. Also your starting traps don't match the starting levels (wall traps without walls, ceiling traps without ceilings, etc) but this is more a level design issue. The missions are also very long without an option to save. Starting a full run means either playing for 1+ hour. Enemies have different hp scalings than I'm used to. Those trolls are dead in 4 hits while earth elementals take an incredible beating. It all went from being VERY easy to handle to being overwhelmed in one wave. I don't understand why quite yet. This is something to get used to but it amplifies that lost feeling. I think if the current starting point later on after a few levels it would've been fine. Now I just feel like joining a new survival game world where your friends already passed the early game, you know? I'm sure I'll have much more fun later on.

Once you get around the differences to the three predecessor games its incredibly addictive and enjoyable

Alright let's start off with what this game is NOT. It is NOT Orcs Must Die 4. This game plays like the devs had a villain origin story where they heard someone say "Orcs Must Die is so easy that I just leave it running over night" one too many times and just snapped and poured in pure pain and malice. It is STILL A FUN GAME but do not go into this expecting a game for casuals or a typical Orcs Must Die game lmao. This game is brutal and often frustrating but the discord is active and the devs actually listen and respond to people in chat, making changes in real time sometimes in response to feedback. Many of the initial problems from launch have already been fixed and the game is already 1000x better than it was then. In other words this is a fun game that I would recommend based on it being fun, but I wouldn't measure it against the previous OMD games.

I have been OMD player from the beginning. I rate this game between OMD 2 and OMD 3. I was not a big fan of OMD 3 because of the war maps but it was required for the story. Now we have OMD “4” Deathtrap. If you don’t have the back story from 1-3 then this would hit you in the face like a PvE arena shooter. However what we have is a mage school with younger up and coming mages to protect the realm. Moving on to a few quick points. Barricade - 22 in solo feels like easy mode. The traps do enough damage and are cheap enough relative to coin production. You can cover a 8x16 open trap box effectively. There are enough barricades to path 3 doors easy if not all 4 on some maps. Onboarding, there are in game videos at the mirror. If you are new to video games you may need to watch the videos 2 times. The upgrade system is logical and has a confirm button. So some may struggle with this. Only played Harlow so far .. no problems. I honestly have no hard negative to this game. Maps are big but not impossible for solo and may feel crowded for a 4x team. I am sure I will see larger maps and avoid them when possible as a solo player. The mini map is very important and mobs like flying things have their own map symbols. So it is not like OMG pants are down! I did not know about flying things! Good game, look forward to more. I was concerned I was wasting my cash from the mixed reviews. It’s not OMD 1-2 it’s OMD arena deathtrap and it’s a solid 8/10 will achieve my entertainment/cash ratio easy I’m running i7 9700 32ram Rtx4060ti on ultra settings. 🍦🍨🍧🧁🎂🍰

I personally think most of the negative comments about this title are overblown. Based on the reviews I was expecting the game to be in a much worse state than it is. Controversially, I like the changes they made to barricades (post-patch). It's far more collaborative to discuss how you use a limited resource over just having one player have to foot the bill for them, and I like that you don't lose a trap slot for them. They were an auto-pick every time: there's no reason not to just give it as part of your default kit. I was horrified when I read about how they removed strafing while you melee, but the end result is actually much better than previous titles - your characters snap to targets, and melee finally, *finally* feels impactful. I'm thrilled that there are finally characters built for melee over it just being an afterthought, and on that note all of the heroes are fun - the approach they took in Deathtrap feels like a healthy mix between what worked from OMD3 and OMD: Unchained. I'm really enjoying it. The fact there are multiple outputs for Skulls adds a lot too, and I think that while the rogue-lite additions may not be for everyone I do appreciate how they change the game, and how you can chain runs together. It's not perfect - I do miss the trinkets: without them playing the same hero over and over starts to get a little stale. And flyers are a big problem, making ballistas the new auto-pick every time. But overall I have to say all the changes they made for Deathtrap have been positive, and while I can see how it may have rubbed long-time fans who just wanted OMD4 the wrong way, I think they're good for the franchise and I appreciate that this title feels like a shakeup of the old formula.
