Orcs Must Die 2

If you enjoyed Robot Entertainment’s Orcs Must Die then you’re bound to enjoy it’s sequel which will be playable at Pax East in Boston this weekend. The game was a welcomed change of pace from the normal tower defense games and has been hugely popular on Steam. If you haven’t played it yet – grab a copy of it when it goes on sale (almost constantly on and off sale).

Robot Entertainment has stated that the sequel will have an all new cooperative mode allowing you to play alongside friends. The new two-player mode also means the introduction of a new character, a Sorceress who “keeps enemies at bay with mind-control and magic.” The developers have also promised more enemies, more defenses, and a new upgrade system. Players of the original Orcs Must Die have slaughtered over 3.4 billion orcs so far, Robot Entertainment said, and those who helped contribute to that count will be able to unlock exclusive content in the sequel. I’m all for supporting a system that gives you some fun features in a sequel if you played the original.

For now, check out the trailer!
