    The big feature this time around is what’s called War Scenarios. These are essentially larger-scale battles that take the tower defence action outside the castle.2 While good in theory, these levels being so open often makes managing the horde flow a bit of a chore, especially when compared to the more traditional compact mazes. Combine this with a couple of inconsistent difficulty spikes, and Orcs Must Die! 3 is a solid (if somewhat unsurprising) continuation of the strategic orc-slaying concept. [Issue#5, p.86]

    Orcs Must Die! 3 isn’t much of a step (let alone, a leap) forward from the last installment, but after eight years maybe it’s just enough to remind people that hey, this fun fantasy franchise is still alive and kicking. It has modest ambitions but it’s certainly not a disappointing installment, and Orc Must Die! 3’s blend of action, tower defense and puzzle-solving remains unique and entertaining.

    I played this game after Orcs Must Die Unchained was shut down and it was a massive downgrade. I love the idea of a third person defense gameI played this game after Orcs Must Die Unchained was shut down and it was a massive downgrade. I love the idea of a third person defense game with buildable traps, but the execution wasn't on par with their other game. The characters had lame abilities and the weapons were underwhelming. The map design was ok but it felt repetitive after awhile. Having the multiplayer and defined heroes and villains in Orcs Unchained was just much better.… Full Review »

    At first seems entertaining, but after the first few hours became tedious and repetitive.
    Not exactly what I'm looking for a sequel in this case...
