Orcs Must Die!

My friend Beffrey introduced me to this game in college, during an extremely stressful time. He only stated, "You look like a man who needs to kill some orcs." There was no other context. He just motioned me to follow him and showed me this game on steam, just setting up traps and sniping orcs with weapons and magic. And you know what? I needed to kill some Orcs. Man did I need to kills some Orcs. So I went back to my dorm room and started to kill some Orcs. And you know what? That really helped get my head straight. So if you're having a rough time, can't quite clear your head, or just need to blow some steam off, do what Beffrey taught ya. Kill some Orcs. 100/10 - more Orcs need killing.

Great Humor, challenging levels, tight controls.

You know what's amazing? I've been eye balling this game for over a DECADE and a HALF! Sale after sale, always passed it up. I kept thinking to myself, "There is no way this could be better than Sanctum." and now that I've played through it, it's not better than Sanctum but it's still pretty darn good. Normally, I'd go into a whole bunch of details but it's just tower defense with a roving tower (the player). You know what to expect with the gameplay. Graphics are nothing to write home about. You get some spells based on a mana system and simplistic skill tree once you get out of the tutorial levels. For some reason, this game wouldn't install on Linux. Kept getting a Disk Write Error but the smartctl isn't showing any problems with the drive so I wound up playing on Windows. Only encountered one bug: upon alt+tab you can't click on anything in the in game menus but you can still control the game, shoot and place traps. 7.5/10 Won't play again.
