A brand new series of levels following the aftermath of the first game.
At its heart, the game is about defending your "Rift" from waves of increasingly dangerous orcs and monsters. Unlike traditional tower defense titles where you watch from above, you are in the thick of the fight.
Successfully defending a level earns you Skulls , a persistent currency used to buy more than 225 upgrades. These can make your traps reset faster, hit harder, or add unique effects like fire or ice damage. Double the Trouble: Co-Op and Characters
Test your mettle against infinite waves that grow increasingly difficult until you are eventually overwhelmed.
A new strategic character who uses mind control and magical finesse to manipulate the mob.Playing together allows for "kill boxes" that combine both players' trap sets, leading to devastatingly efficient—and hilarious—chain reactions. Expanded Game Modes
Owners of the original Orcs Must Die! automatically unlock 10 co-op versions of classic levels. DLCs and Special Editions Orcs Must Die! 2: Demo (Gameplay)
You have an arsenal of over 50 traps, weapons, and guardians at your disposal. You can line hallways with arrow walls, floor spikes, and swinging maces, or use magical trinkets to slow down the horde.
