It was just one year ago that gamers took up the blade staff and orchestrated the mass genocide of orcs in the original Orcs Must Die. Now gamers have an entirely new adventure to play through, with thousands more orcs to slay, new weapons and traps to utilize, and an entirely new, albeit familiar, character to play. Oh yeah, and something called co-op multiplayer. By tweaking a few details of the formula and keeping the core gameplay from the original game, Orcs Must Die 2 takes and already great game and makes it much better.
I really enjoyed my time with Orcs Must Die, and I enjoyed most of my time with Orcs Must Die 2. The issues with 2 are minimal: reused songs/graphics, difficulty, etc. But the tweaked additions like extra items to buy and upgrade and the new skull reward/point system make the game even better than the original. Multiplayer is a great addition, but no matchmaking is a big disappointment. Still though, if you can find a friend to play with, Orcs 2 is a solid tower defense/RPG title.
