Orcs Must Die! Unchained Open Beta [Mar 29, 2016, 11:59 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The tag on the Orcs Must Die!
Unchained website has changed from "closed beta" to "open beta," signifying
the change in status for the latest installment in this tower defense series.
They offer new bundles, new referral rewards, and a new roster of heroes of the
week to mark the occasion. A
new open beta trailer
offers a look, and here's word on the beta:
Gameforge and developers Robot Entertainment are headed into the home straight with the third entry in successful action tower defence series Orcs Must Die! – their joint project Orcs Must Die! Unchained today enters open beta. Now all can join in on the fun without any game entry restrictions. Once they log in, players can head into Survival mode with friends or face other players in the Siege mode. To defend their rifts they can build traps and use a range of weapons in order to blow countless orcs to kingdom come, thus following the grand Orcs Must Die tradition.
This is what you get when you cross the old tower defense OMD game with a moba like LoL or Smite. The end result, a half arsed version of each type of game mode.
Toss in some poorly thought out F2P model for progression that will have you realizing that you cant really save up to buy the heroes you want because everyone will be pissed at you if you dont first spend all your earned currency on getting the basic traps you need to be competitive.
The end result, a rather meh, not so fun, game with somewhat appealing visuals (if you enjoy the cartoon style). If you enjoyed the first 2 games, this will just leave you wishing that this one had followed suit, rather than trying to "innovate" and jump on the Dota clone bandwagon.
