Wisecracking multiplayer action that uniquely blends the strategic depth of a MOBA with intense third-person combat as you fight in a wild battle for fortress supremacy. Orcs Must Die! Unchained is a high-octane PvP action game in which you storm the opposing fortress together with your friends and defend your own base. Your enemies are also sending their minions to your rift – construct a maze of traps and beat back everything they send at you. Grinding, roasting, slashing or good old-fashioned thumping – every dirty trick is at your disposal when both attacking and defending.

Critic Reviews
VGProfessional
By Mazen AbdallahOrcs Must Die! Unchained cleverly mixes action and strategy gaming to create a fun and light-hearted horde defense game. Its F2P implementation is subtle and works well, and the game is a great way to whittle away a few hours where you feel like killing something.
PlayStation LifeStyle
By Chandler WoodOrcs Must Die! Unchained is a shining example of how to balance a free-to-play game to be engaging without paying, yet rewarding if you do decide to drop some money into it. The wave-based gameplay is a lot of fun, particularly when playing with other people, and the unique versus mode creates a whirlwind of cooperation and competition. Robot Entertainment could have done a little more to tailor the PS4 release specifically to the console, as well as better functions for quick communication during online matches, but these are small gripes on an otherwise great experience.
Game Rant
By Dalton CooperOrcs Must Die! Unchained is one of the most polished and fully-featured free-to-play games available on the PlayStation Store, but the console controls aren't ideal.
Entertainment Buddha
By Entertainment BuddhaOrcs Must Die Unchained truly carries the series into the right direction. With new modes, characters, traps and more, Unchained is refreshing enough as a free to play to keep me coming back.
GamingTrend
By Hunter WolfeFree-to-play games often carry the stigma of being “pay-to-win” — a design philosophy that says if you want to win, buy in. Orcs Must Die! Unchained isn't that. It's a hoopla of co-op action that works whether or not you want to drop some dough. While the new Sabotage mode is a welcome, albeit lesser refined addition to the series, it's in Battlegrounds that Robot Entertainment flexes its action gameplay muscles and it's the game type that will keep me coming back for dozens more hours — or at the very least, to nab those daily login bonuses.
