Orcs Must Die! 2

Choose the War Mage or Sorceress and defend fortresses, mines, and portals from waves of orcs and other monsters. The story campaign can be played alone or with a friend. Fight enemies directly with weapons and spells while placing traps and guardians along their routes. Combine defenses to control crowds, protect multiple entrances, and stop monsters from reaching the exit. Unlock and upgrade traps, weapons, and other gear as you progress. Alongside the campaign, Endless Mode challenges you to survive increasingly difficult waves; additional modes, difficulty settings, and scoreboards offer other ways to play.

Defend fantasy fortresses from monster hordes by fighting in third person and building trap-filled routes, solo or in co-op.

From the Devs

You’ve tossed, burned and sliced them by the thousands – now orcs must die more than ever before! Grab a friend and slay orcs in untold numbers in this sequel to the 2011 AIAS Strategy Game of the Year from Robot Entertainment.

Leap back into the fray as a powerful War Mage or crafty Sorceress. Defend new fortresses and dwarven mines, laying waste to thousands of orcs and other monsters with a dizzying array of weapons, spells, guardians, traps, and trinkets. Play co-op with a friend and continue the battle in a brand new campaign mode, or fight to stay alive in the challenging new Endless Mode!

Unlock new defenses and old favorites, upgrade them like never before, and unleash them on the nearest pile of slobbering orcs!
