When OMDU was announced, I was intrigued since I was a big fan of OMD 1 and 2. I spent many hours on those games. So, an online version was interesting. However, I found the early version of OMDU not very appealing. The graphics weren't good, peformance was poor, and I hated Siege mode. I tried it and didn't get it, so I left. It wasn't my job to force myself to like it when I have so many other games accessible to me I naturally loved. OMDU was initially so far off from what I enjoyed so much from OMD 1&2. When I saw the acknowledgement in Version 1.6 that Siege mode was a failure and that renewed focus would go back to Survival mode, I was willing to come back and try it. Robot Entertainment acknowledged that they noticed that once people tried Siege mode, people never came back. Siege mode was running their fans off and they needed to put a stop to that. As far as I was concerned, that spoke to me and they finally "got it". They understood why people loved OMD. It was going up against hordes of monsters and beasts and having a lot of fun killing them in a cartoonish manner. I always enjoyed how "deaths" were portrayed as funny, cartoonish slices of meat and other Rated G portrayals. No zombie gore type of stuff. I loved the humorous quips and remarks that came out of all the various characters both the good guys and the bad guys. OMDU 1.6 was better but still very rough in terms of graphics and playability. There were quite a few performance related bugs which hurt the appeal. But with OMDU 1.7, as far as I am concerned, got it really right. That is the turning point. And with the OMDU 1.8, it is just fabulous. I log in every day. Robot Entertainment is successfully convincing me to log in every day if for no other reason than to get the rewards even if I don't have time or energy to play. Very smart to reward people coming back every day. I think it can get better with OMD 1.9 but I am enjoying OMD 1.8 a lot! And the adding of Steam Achievements is just fabulous. I was initially very skeptical of OMDU up to version 1.6 but Robot turned a significant corner beginning version 1.7. If there were any skeptics before or people who were turned off because it was far from a follow-up of OMD2, I think they need to come back and take a good relook. And those people who might have had negative reviews might end up changing them to positive reviews. Let's do our part and make sure that old negative reviews are updated fairly. Robot should be rewarded with some positive words because they are on the right path. They got beaten up early on and it was justified. But I believe they need to be complimented for being honest, open, and making a huge turn. Reward them with an HONEST positive review if you think they got it right. I am unhappy the Steam review says Mixed because it is unfair. Robot Entertainment deserves better. Because the happier and larger the fanbase, the more all of us benefit individually. OMDU 1.8 is very different now and much improved to OMDU 1.6 and earlier. Believe me! P.S. The number of hours I've played/logged on OMDU on Steam does not count all the unrecorded hours of OMDU outside of Steam.

I don't know why people do not like this game, but i do not share their opinion. I've played orcs must die 2 a little bit, and this one way more. It's really fun to think of a way to lead the orcs to the most efficient kill zone for them filled with traps. Very satisfactory to kill loads of them and get combo's. I also like that you can play with 3 players coop. While playing alone it's easy to complete a map, but it is hard to do so while staying within the time limit and getting 5 stars. Also pretty hard to play coop since the orcs become stronger then. Lastly i want to add that at the time of writing this the game has enoug players to enjoy playing online.

Since their latest big change, Orcs must die Unchained has stepped up to what their fans wanted. They removed the pvp (for now, perhaps something to consider later), and have brought the focus back to good old maps, survival, and teamwork. There is a twist this time around, there is an overall progression and a random aspect in how you acquire traps and resources. Just with daily log in you can earn premium currency, skulls and chest containing goodies. Every levels now has 3 leaderboards: solo, 2 players and 3 players. Due to trap and equipment acquisition being random to a level, it leads to not all players having the same trap options at the same level, which may be helpful for high difficulty planing/endless maps. The game is well worth a try for anyone who think they might enjoy it, it has some decent humor and fun factor. There is just enough variety and challenge to keep many of us going for a while. There is, luckily, not really a P2W aspect to the game, as the only money exclusive items are cosmetic. Give it a try and I hope ya'll enjoy it! -Lost

I've just started playing MOBA games under 3-4 months ago, and I got to try this one out before the loss of PvE mode, I personally like it back then. Now that it's all PvE, I find it's STILL a lot of fun, solo and team play, on top of that, the people who play are actually helpful, for example, you have a question about ANYTHING, ask, it'll be answered quickly, you can't 5* a map, again ask, lots of players are more then willing to join you and help show you some tricks to help or even help carry you though. The only problem I really see, is the fact that all these bad reviews (mostly about how it's not like the 1st two games - Well it's not them so suck it up princess) may be keeping new players from even trying it. It's not a pay to play/win/or anything, I haven't spent a dime on it, and I have no problems collecting/earning/passing maps. TRY IT, YOU MIGHT JUST LIKE IT!

It's a fun game. This game focuses on the coop experience (which I often feel isn't there in other games), fun strategy (which can take some time to master) and the characters are fun (although I can't say they make themselves particularly interesting to me). I've played the game for a while now and I heard about how bad it was in the beginning. This was a tower defense game and in the beginning of this, they focused on pvp instead of pve. Thankfully, the makers of this game owned up to that mistake and made a change. They've also recently been updating the game to improve the interface and it's a lot better now. My honest opinion: give it a chance. It literally costs you no money (unless you want to spend it) and the community is pretty chill overall.
