Orcs Must Die – Gameplay Trailer

This was definitely one of the most interesting XBLA games we’ve seen recently. It’s yet another game based on waves of attackers but this time you rely on strategic use of traps and the environment to prevail against your enemies. Choose from a variety of traps, kil them with your crossbow or shoot out the chandelier to make sure those pesky orcs don’t get away. Check out the preview I wrote on Orcs Must Die in August from the gamescom “Xbox Play Day”.

The game is by development studio Robot Entertainment, who also work on some franchises you may have heard of; Age of Empires and Halo Wars. They’ve created an amazing set of interactive trailers to show off the gameplay for Orcs Must Die. Watch it below. Choose your weapon wisely.

Orcs Must Die is coming out on 5th October for XBLA (1200 MSP) and 12th October for Steam and “other PC distribution platforms”.
