We Love It's Guide to…

Orcs Must Die!

You play as a War Mage defending 24 fortresses from waves of orcs and other creatures. A light story unfolds across three acts as you protect the portals the invaders are trying to reach. Before each assault, choose weapons, spells, traps, and minions, then arrange your defenses around the level’s paths and chokepoints. During each wave, fight in third person with weapons and magic while your traps slow, damage, or redirect enemies. The campaign gradually unlocks equipment and persistent upgrades. Multiple difficulty levels, skull-based rankings, and score leaderboards offer additional challenges for replaying missions.

As a War Mage, defend fantasy fortresses from orc waves by building trap corridors and joining the fight with weapons and spells.
