Going rogue, like.
Uruk-bye, my perceptive friend.
That’s a four-times combo.

Deathtrap review
In the most fundamental sense, it’s business as usual.
This new version is, in the playing, as good as any before it.
The orc with the lovely baritone was right, though.
These sorts of highly incremental, barely perceptible upgrades are very modern, aren’t they?
And there, it must be said, you’re presented with meaningful options at every juncture.
Should you win, your next run will be elongated, and your map selection slightly expanded.
No longer will a drop-in companion find themselves halfway up someone else’s difficulty curve, struggling for air.
In all this, Orcs Must Die!
has never been more approachable.
That’s not to say that developer Robot Entertainment has failed to think of ways to keep things fresh.
There are strong incentives for teaching yourself new tricks.
3 for the second campaign I never quite got around to.
There are other, smaller issues with the moment-to-moment magic of playing Orcs Must Die!
But the fundamentals are so winning that I’ve had a largely fantastic time in its company regardless.
both a casual distraction and an engrossing equation.

In the past, I’ve compared the feeling of playing Orcs Must Die!
And hey, I stand by it.
To pick a less pretentious reference point: a thing isn’t beautiful because it lasts.
And this daft thing that Orcs Must Die!
No amount of roguelike revisions to the formula can change that.
