A frantic, cartoony tower-defense action game where you creatively slaughter waves of orcs with traps and weapons.

What players say
Players say Orcs Must Die! is a fast-paced mix of action and tower defense that still holds up surprisingly well. The game starts easy but gets genuinely challenging around act two, and the trap variety keeps each level feeling fresh.
