    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 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 heroesI played this game after Orcs Must Die Unchained was shut down and it was a massive downgrade.

    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...

    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]

    As far as co-op games go, into doesn’t get much more frantic or fun than Orcs Must Die! 3. It’s at time unintuitive and feels like it’s missing a few key quality of life features that could really help smooth out the experience, but at its core, the simple trap-building orc-killing gameplay loop is addictively engaging, far outshining any issues it may have at the menu level, particularly if you have a co-op partner to go through it all with. There aren’t many shining examples of “active” tower defense games, but Orcs Must Die! 3 absolutely exemplifies what’s so great about the genre and series, even if it stumbles a bit on its way to get there.

    Orcs Must Die 3 provides excellent orc-killing mayhem. With many imaginative traps and weapons, tower defense fans are sure to find something that catches their fancy. Plus, its gameplay is similar to the original so you enjoyed that, you're sure to love this, too.
