🌟 "Orcs Must Die! 2 - A Perfect Blend of Action & Strategy!" 🌟
If you love tower defense games but wish they had more action, Orcs Must Die! 2 is exactly what you’re looking for! This game takes everything great about the original and cranks it up with new traps, weapons, enemies, and—best of all—co-op mode!
💥 Fast-Paced, Satisfying Combat – Slaying waves of orcs feels incredibly rewarding, whether you’re blasting them with magic, slicing them with spinning blades, or launching them into lava pits!
🧠 Strategic Depth – With tons of traps and upgrades, every level offers different ways to dominate. Experimenting with trap combos never gets old!
🎭 Co-Op Mayhem! – Teaming up with a friend makes this game even more fun. Double the traps, double the destruction!
🎨 Charming Visuals & Humor – The cartoony art style and witty banter keep things lighthearted, even when the battlefield is chaos.
Whether you’re playing solo or with a buddy, Orcs Must Die! 2 is a blast from start to finish. If you enjoy creative strategies, non-stop action, and hordes of orcs meeting hilarious fates—this game is a must-play!
⭐ 8/10 – Would launch orcs into spikes again! 😆🔥

It's pretty good but make sure you and your friend aren't playing on same network as that seems to cause issues with quality of the matches. There's a couple stages that crash on level end as well but it should save the progress, allowing you to continue to the next stage.

I really enjoy this variation of tower defense games where the player also participates in the battle. There is something about the mobs being able to give you a love-tap if you wander too close that really sells the idea of you defending against a siege of sorts.
Orcs Must Die 2 has satisfying mechanics, a good amount of variation in maps and a solid selection of enemies to keep things fresh for a good amount of playtime. I hope you give it a go.

According to wireshark game attempts to communicate with steam network service via ports that steam network service locked somewhat recently.
Is understandable, game seemingly picks a random port from a very wide range.
In layman's terms, coop is no longer functional and it's extremely unlikely it will ever work again.

I'll make this one short, as I've already reviewed the SAME game with a different number tag plastered over it, which is Orcs Must Die 1.
Orcs must Die 2 also has this cringeworthy storyline not even worth noting... You play as basically this stupid guy (now one of TWO stupid people) who is tasked with holding the line of defense so that orcs would not go through the rifts into the world.
The game is LITERALLY the same game that is its prequel; literally same graphics, same soundtrack even the same voice actors. Orcs Must Die 2 adds a couple more weapons, and more traps and it adds the dreadful TRAINTRACKS lol... Now the floors also include train track tiles and when orcs walk on them, a minecart usually sweeps them away and it's so glorious to see, and that's really about it... There is no RIGHT way to play the game, it just depends on which weapons / trinkets / traps combinations you like best... For me, that was the Arrow Guardian, crossbow and arrowhead traps with the grinder. The campaign is a couple of hours long if you know what you're doing and after you finish it, you can try your hands on Nightmare mode and a couple of other modes the game offers such as Endless, which is basically wave-based and it's a survival mode with leaderboards and whatnot.
It's fun and all but at some point it got really repetitive so I decided to get a friend to play co-op Endless mode with me... and it's not as functional as the game seems to be trying to sell. It's clunky, and when a lot of big fatted Orcs are on the screen on Co-Op the game seems to become real slow and unmanageable. Orcs Must Die 2! is a [b]6/10[/b] game that I'm sure I'd forget ever playing tomorrow.
