Orcs Must Die! 2 Review: Double the Chaos, Double the Metal – By Deathbringer

Orcs Must Die! 2 amps up the destruction to eleven, delivering an encore so fierce it’s like a face-melting solo straight from the pits of hell! The stakes are higher, the orcs are angrier, and now you’ve got a co-op partner to bring the pain! You and your fellow War Mage or Sorceress don’t just kill orcs; you obliterate, detonate, and shred them into oblivion with traps that would make a heavy metal dungeon look like child’s play.

The traps? They’re gnarlier, deadlier, and straight-up diabolical—acid jets, wall blades, grinders, even tar pits to keep those suckers nice and slow for the kill. It’s a festival of death and mayhem where you’re the headliner, playing to a mosh pit of orcs who are dying to get in your way. Add a second player, and it’s a two-player slaughter fest, each of you layering death traps like a double guitar riff that drowns the battlefield in unholy chaos.

This game doesn’t just want you to defend a rift—it demands you unleash your inner berserker, leave nothing but orc dust in your wake, and earn the title of Deathbringer with every kill. If you’re looking for a game that brings the brutal with a side of skull-crushing satisfaction, Orcs Must Die! 2 is your ultimate headbanging haven. Get ready to rip and tear, because these orcs are goin’ down hard!

this game is hella janky and broken af, especially coop

Better co-op and connection than 2024 games

The game is pretty fun, not many hours in it, but I wouldnt recommend it. Somehow, despite the game being out for so very long, my friend AND I both face so many crashes. Idk whats wrong with this game. But I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

buggy as ♥♥♥♥ and I still do love this game. It is harder than the third one (which was my first game of this franchise) and I like that. The AI sucks a bit and somehow the enemies are walking on barricades and when you place some guardians behind it they can reach them. Oh and everyone does AOE dmg so you can't even take dmg next to your barricades or else they break it faster and you are done pretty fast as well.

I love this franchise, however I would not recommend this one.
