I've played most of the previous game\s in this series (except Unchained) and loved them all. I am excited to start playing this today.

Anyone else? Since the new game has 4-player co-op hit me up if you want to slay orcs sometime.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap combines chaotic third-person combat with devious trap-laying strategy. Enjoy endless replayability as your War Mage grows stronger with every battle. Repel relentless orc hordes solo or with up to 4 players.

Enjoy the game solo or in co-op teams of up to four players – each option provides unique challenges and rewards. The game is designed to adjust to the number of players, ensuring a balanced and exciting contest in any combination.

Find your role among new War Mages, each with unique weapons, abilities, traps, and personality. Each hero is tailored to different play styles and can operate independently or work together with complementing heroes, ensuring versatile and mighty orc-smashing.

There's a certain level of unpolish my friend and I felt. We ended up just restarting 3 instead

I hear you but two things:

  1. give this game more time, I think it's differences are exciting and worth trying.
  2. give the devs some time to fix the stuff you didn't like -- and let them know the stuff you didn't like!

I just played for 1.5 hours and I liked the new changes a lot. I have over 300 hours in OMD3 so sure, I will prolly go back there too, but for now, I am digging the new game.

Seems like there's a lot of issue after going through steam review, most complain the lack of content and the map is way too big with the limited supply of barricade, less trap and less weapon pick. Was kinda hyped about this after finished omd 3 recently but i guess it's best wait and see if they fixed the game a year later.

Patient Gaming is usually a good idea, yep.

But I just played it and liked it a lot. I think people are just taking some time adjusting to all the changes.

But I didn't want just another continuation of the previous games, so to me, this is all good news.
