What to expect from Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap
Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap builds on the franchise’s signature blend of action-packed tower defense and tactical strategy. The game centers around defending mystical fortresses from waves of enemies, primarily orcs and other fantasy creatures, through strategic trap placement and real-time combat. In Deathtrap, players will not only set up traps and defenses but also engage directly in combat, using weapons and spells to prevent enemies from breaching their defenses.
While the game stays true to the tower defense roots that defined earlier titles, Deathtrap introduces several new features aimed at enhancing strategic depth. Players can expect updated maps, customizable trap setups, and improved AI behavior for both allies and enemies. Robot Entertainment has yet to confirm additional specifics, but the early playtest feedback is expected to inform these details, offering players a more refined experience in future iterations. This upcoming technical playtest provides a first look at what’s in store, as the team works toward delivering a challenging, immersive entry in the Orcs Must Die! series.
