Fun hybrid tower defense / hero game. Just one piece of advice, play as the sorceress. The two heroes have separate campaign progression and leveling up of skills. The game has 1 sorceress specific achievement and the sorceress abilities seem better when going for those endless achievements. So basically unless you want to do everything twice start with the sorceress.

A masterpiece, Orcs must die 2 took everything about the first game and turned it up to 11. More maps, more characters, more ways to slay orcs, multiplayer, cleaner graphics. The original was great, this here is what I would call a nearly perfect game for what it wants to do, its a super fun tower defense game that is accessible even to people who have never played tower defense games before. Its best enjoyed with a multiplayer partner, but can absolutely be enjoyed solo. Its a game that is just straight up fun, that looks great, is fairly polished and is cheap. On sale you can get this for like 3 bucks, thats honestly robbery for a game this good. I give orcs must die 2 my highest recommendation.
