Awesome game. Played the first one on XB360 back in the day and had no idea they had made others. Did co-op with my brother for the whole game and completed nightmare mode. Classic tower defense. As a big fan of the first game, I would highly recommend this one.

So, first thing is first, never played multiplayer. I ain't got no friends to play games with. Not but a few good eggs who will jump into the occasional TF2 game, like Negative Xero. No, I play solo. Game is pretty decent, a solid step up from the first Orcs Must Die! Mechanically it is fundamentally the same, but there are more trap options to play with. And that is where this game's strengths are, finding fun combos you can put together with traps. Bounce a guy back, maybe two or three times by spacing traps out far enough while other traps are slowly ticking his health down, then when he finally hits the end teleport him to the beginning to do it all over. You have unlockables, differing game modes, difficulty tweaks... And I suppose if you have the friends the potential for multiplayer. The biggest problems I had in the game were that some levels really feel designed to require a second player, with little consideration as to what a lone player may be put through. And, I really think the game needed a little more variety in enemies. I enjoyed it, though I never actually finished every map available.

Fun and goofy game that doesn't take itself too seriously. I don't generally care for tower defense games, but this one shines since you've got your caster. Great sense of humor, and I'm generally critical of games trying to be humorous because it's a tough needle to thread. Never played coop, but I imagine that's even better.

I loved playing this with my cousin when it first came out. Tower defense games are always better with a partner to enjoy it with. A must have for sure!

Introduction : Orcs Must Die! 2 est un mélange de tower defense et de TPS d'action développé par Robot Entertainment, sorti en 2012. Le principe reste limpide : on défend des portails contre des hordes d'orcs déchaînées en combinant pièges fourbes disséminés dans les couloirs et arme à la main pour finir le travail. La grande nouveauté de cette suite, c'est le mode coopératif qui permet d'affronter le carnage à deux. Ce que j'ai aimé : [*]🪤 L'arsenal de pièges est énorme : plus de cinquante gadgets entre planchers à pics, ressorts géants, murs à lames et tourelles. Combiner les pièges pour créer des couloirs de la mort devient vite une obsession jouissive. [*]😂 L'humour cartoon fait mouche à chaque partie : voir un orc enflammé propulsé par un tremplin traverser le ciel comme une comète, ça ne lasse jamais. Le ton décomplexé porte tout le jeu. [*]🤝 La coop transforme l'expérience : à deux, on se répartit les couloirs, on coordonne les pièges et on transforme le défi solo en franche rigolade. C'est clairement la meilleure façon d'y jouer. [*]⚙️ Le gameplay est satisfaisant et lisible : les graphismes colorés restent clairs même dans le chaos, et chaque vague réussie procure ce petit shoot de satisfaction propre aux bons tower defense. Ce que j'ai moins aimé : [*]🌍 Le manque de variété d'environnements se ressent : on tourne autour de deux décors principaux et deux personnages jouables, ce qui finit par donner une impression de répétition. [*]🔗 L'absence de matchmaking est un vrai défaut : pour jouer en coop, il faut un ami sous la main, sinon on reste cantonné au solo. Dommage pour un jeu pensé autour de la collaboration. [*]🗺️ Le nombre de niveaux reste un peu chiche, et il faut compter sur le New Game+ et les modes de difficulté pour vraiment étirer la durée de vie. Conclusion : Orcs Must Die! 2, c'est du plaisir coupable à l'état pur : un défouloir malin et bourré d'humour où l'on passe son temps à inventer des pièges toujours plus sadiques. Avec mes 16 heures dessus, je n'ai jamais vraiment ressenti la lassitude tant le système de pièges invite à expérimenter. Les défauts existent (manque de décors, pas de matchmaking), mais ils pèsent peu face au fun généreux, surtout en coop. À petit prix, c'est une valeur sûre pour qui aime le tower defense décontracté. Recommandé. Note : ★★★★☆
