DO NOT LISTEN TO THE HATERS… I was hesitant to get the game because of the reviews but it’s honestly insanely fun. For 15$ on sale you can’t go wrong especially if you plan on playing CO OP. I never leave reviews but it honestly pissed me off how many people tried to compare this to older version of OMD and left bad reviews. This game doesn’t deserve the hate it got. Hot take it’s my favorite they have released so far. The Roguelike feel is >>>> than the campaign style. The difficulty setting slider is perfect as you can make the game literally BOT friendly or actually impossible. Plenty of content for what I payed.
I will start by saying that I have completed every single achievement in this game and am only 2 bonus thread tasks away from having nothing else to get so obviously I like the game. Having said that 3 was much better game to me than deathtrap, even though it barely had any content. While deathtrap multiplayer is much better and scales much better with difficulty levels. I really miss the intuitiveness of being able to look at individual trap type damage and having elements affect the orcs and ogres more. Previously damage types mattered a lot more than they do now and they used to track how well each trap type did so you could really pinpoint what worked best outside of just running combinations until you win "easier" which is how it is now. Overall deathtrap is a fun game that made party play much better imo. But is missing a lot of fun detailed features that previous orcs games had. I now plays when I'm bored or doing some game nights with a buddy, as I don't really have anything left to accomplish other than self pushing higher level skull tiers - I hope they start including some additional endgame achievements as I'm starting to stale out now that I've 100% them.
Sum-Up In-depth analysis further down. 🟩 Pros 🟥 Cons • Excellent variety of traps to suit different strategies and situations. Combining their effects together into the perfect killzone is extremely satisfying. • Great gameplay variety thanks to a large amount of modifiers, buffs, debuffs and threats that are different for each run. • A huge amount of randomly shuffled upgrades, called Threads, that significantly change how traps, heroes and weapons work as you progress further. • Challenging bosses that have unique, powerful skills and feel like a proper obstacle in your path. • Satisfying progression system that greatly rewards taking higher risks, and always has something new for you to unlock between each run. • Balance issues with barricade limits: if RNG isn’t on your side, some maps will prove incredibly frustrating or even impossible without additional blockage. • Not all heroes are equally useful: some are defence powerhouses, while others simply don’t have skillsets good enough to be competitive, especially at higher difficulties. • Low variety of maps: only 11 of them, plus weather variations that, however, don’t change the layout. • A few traps have no point whatsoever in being used, and can be replaced with other ones that do a better job in all aspects. 🟨 Bugs & Issues 🔧 Specs • Rarely, enemies might get stuck. • No option to cancel ‘ready’ status in multiplayer. • i9 13980HX • 64GB RAM DDR5 • RTX 4090 • SSD • 3840x2160 Follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41449676/]Curator and [url=https://summitreviews.biz]Website to see more high-quality reviews regularly. Content & Replay Value: It took me, alongside my partner, around 32 hours to complete OMDD, taking extra time to fully upgrade all heroes, traps, and finish a run on Difficulty 10. After that, optional challenges, achievements and Endless mode are available. The content is linear, so there’s no reason to replay from scratch once you have leveled up everything. Do I Recommend It? Yes. If you’re a fan of the previous series entries, then you’ll surely have a blast with more orcs slaying; this time, with more variety than ever before. Even for newcomers who enjoy hands-on dynamic tower defense games, this is still a solid pick. Conclusion: A remarkable fifth chapter for the series, which manages to stay fresh in the long run thanks to its light rogue-lite mechanics and excellent variety. In-Depth Writing & Worldbuilding As with previous entries, the premise of OMDD is straightforward: the Order needs to defend their realm against the dimensional incursions of Orcs and other dark creatures, only this time around, this duty is left to the newer generations of apprentices. After the dark lord’s demise in OMD3, the remaining Orc forces are led by fearsome generals that, once again, want to lay waste to the Order’s worlds. As expected, there isn’t a lot of narrative depth or intricate lore, which is fine for this genre and was never a strong suit of the series. Those sparse narrative parts are ultimately for the sake of gameplay, and never develop further than necessary. Nevertheless, each character has its own identity, and their lines or banter are pleasant to listen to. The worldbuilding doesn’t differ much from what was seen in the previous entries, with the exception of a large, fully explorable hub in between missions. There’s good attention to detail in the making of each map and to the Order Fortress area, although you shouldn’t expect to find any pieces of indirect narration or any deep lore. OMD was always a franchise that put function before form, which is not a bad choice when done right. Exploration, Tower Defense & Building OMDD takes place throughout stages with a fixed layout, and while they’re fully explorable, there isn’t really a point in combing every nook and cranny, other than figuring out the map’s layout and finding the occasional collectible or hidden chest you can open for a cost to get bonus Rift Points and coins. An exception can be made for the fortress hub, which instead has several secrets, some of which allow you to unlock hidden playable characters. Laying out a solid defense is the most important aspect in each level. To do so, you’ll have a varied arsenal of traps at your disposal, with more unlocked between each run; from simple floor spikes and brimstone pits, to the more advanced acid dispenser or explosive dispensers, there are endless combinations you can experiment with, but always considering what’s most efficient for that specific map’s layout and modifiers. An intuitive and effective building system allows you to place, sell and move traps around with ease, while the enemy ghost outlines between each wave will tell you exactly where they intend to go—so that you can efficiently organize your limited barricades to reroute the Orc forces in your killzone. There’s enough nuance and depth to this system, such as figuring out what element works better against which enemy, or what traps are best at dealing with specific foes, that there’s room for improving your strategy for many games ahead. Combat System & Bosses OMDD is a hands-on type of tower defense, meaning you’ll fight with your character alongside the defenses to repel the Orc invaders. Fights play out in third-person, with each hero equipped with a signature weapon and several unique abilities, including a powerful Overdrive skill that fills up with combo points, gained by combining different traps together to make the kill. While some heroes are definitely more effective than others overall, they’re all fun to play and have their own clear identity on the field: some are direct fighters, tanks, while others work better as snipers or support. You’ll have to be careful in battle, especially on harder difficulties and during boss fights, enemies can deal tremendous damage, and dying usually means losing a chunk of Rift Points; if you hit zero, that’s game over. Your objective is always to defend one or more rifts in each map, which can be passed or hit, depending on the type, by Orcs—the bigger the orc, the worse the damage inflicted is. Boss fights are single-wave maps that, in addition to a tremendous amount of enemies, will also spawn a powerful boss with unique skills, which may include disabling traps, healing allies, or even instantly killing heroes if they don’t dodge in time. Character Progression & Threads The progression is handled differently compared to previous entries: each hero has a personal skill tree to progress using Skulls, earned by beating levels, and there’s also a global skill tree granting upgrades for everyone regardless. A good chunk of it is, however, entirely tied to RNG with the Threads mechanic—a system that, after each wave, allows you to select one of three random talents that either influence your hero, enemies, traps or the map itself. Choose them wisely, as they’re paramount in making traps significantly stronger, or specializing your hero further in their role on the battlefield. All of them are permanent, and the same goes for the debuffs you’ll progressively gain with each new map, such as random spawns of stronger enemies, increased trap cost, and many more. This RNG factor improves variety tremendously, but also leaves you at the mercy of fate, and that can be frustrating sometimes.
