- Orcs Must Die! x YouTooz - Official Plushie Orders Live - 25 June 2025
Oh no! Another wave of Orcs has spawned! Quick, protect the rift! Sitting at 9 inches tall with their mouth opening up to reveal a series of gross, round teeth protruding from pink gums, this Orc's yellow eyes stare out in different directions from above a wide nose as orange hair flicks out from the top of their head. Wearing simple light armor that crosses their chest in two bands and has a spike on the shoulder, matching wrist braces wrap around their arms as a maroon cloth hangs from the strap around their waist. This plush is packed to the seams with 100% PP cotton and is made of the softest minky material with accents of felt, absolutely perfect for cuddling or defending with! For a limited time, you can bring home your own Light Orc! Get yours now by following this link: https://youtooz.com/products/light-orc-plush-9-inch

- Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap: Orcs All the Way Down - 8 October 2024
Hello, you little Ogre spudge stains, Kyle here again – Game Director on Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. This time I’ll be going over every single enemy in OMDD except our big boss boys (and even there, I’ll leave a teaser or two). I’m excited about this one – not only do we have a lot of new enemies, but we’ve also reworked some veteran units to make battles more fun, interactive, and focused. Let’s break it down by category and see what we’ve got. Distortions and Unstable Rifts I do need to explain a few things before we dig in: Distortions and Unstable Rifts. Distortions, if you’ve not read previous blogs, are randomized challenges you’re offered when you are selecting which Mission to play. Many of these can add specific enemy types to the waves of enemies you’ll face. And Unstable Rifts are portals that can spawn at any point during a wave in random spots on the map. If you don’t destroy…
- Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap - New and Reworked Traps - 24 September 2024
Hey Floor Spike Spammers, Kyle here again – Game Director on Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. It's time to talk about traps. There is A LOT to cover on that topic because as the name implies: traps are more important than ever. But I decided to skip the basics and just jump straight into the fun stuff. Let’s go over some reworked traps and then, of course, the new ones we’ve added to Deathtrap. Reworked Traps Poison Flower (formerly the Confusion Flower) Poison Gas Emitter (formerly the Dart Spitter) These first two might not immediately seem very different, but they both offer something totally new to OMD!: “Poison.” We’ve decided to make some elemental magic and status effect changes in Deathtrap for a few reasons, including reducing the types of crowd control and making our magic types easier to understand. For now, this means that both “confusion” and “arcane” are gone. “But Kyle, why do w…
- Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap - Solo and Multiplayer Balancing - 28 August 2024
Hello Knights of the Order, Kyle back again – Game Director on Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. We’ve been busy over in Germany showing off the game at Gamescom, but I still wanted to give y’all something to sink your teeth into. This week’s topic is something we see brought up a lot in the OMD community and Steam reviews: solo and cooperative multiplayer balance. So, let’s dig into how it’s been handled in the past and how we’re tackling it in OMDD to make sure the game is playable for everyone regardless of team size. If that sounds a bit dry to you, don’t worry - I’ve thrown in a few surprises as well. “This game was clearly designed around co-op" There’s a sentiment that shows up quite often that Orcs Must Die! 3 is designed and balanced around co-op, and that single player was an afterthought. And to be fair, the imagery is often presented that way: Max and Gabby, Kelsey and Egan, and Cyg…
- Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap - Our New Loop and Progression Systems - 28 August 2024
Hello War Mages, Kyle here – Game Director on Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. I’ll be posting a series of deep dives between now and launch into all the different features and content we’re bringing you in Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. I figured the best place to start is the gameplay loop and the progression systems. Because while OMDD is still about defending Rifts by placing traps and slicing orcs – the journey, rewards, and challenges have gotten far more interesting. Missions and Distortions After Vorwick’s defeat in OMD!3, the orc armies splintered into four factions, each led by a different general vying for control. Your goal is to help the Order bring them all down, but the road there is not a traditional linear set of levels. Each time you set out to defend a Rift in OMDD, you’re offered a different selection of three levels. Each level has a randomized challenge attached to it that we…

Hey War Mages! We’ve got some exciting news for you. We’re thrilled to announce the next big chapter in the Orcs Must Die! saga: Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is coming in early 2025!

Your enthusiasm and feedback have inspired us every step of the way, influencing other games and keeping us on our toes. Orcs Must Die! (2011) This was where it all began.

- Patch 1.2.1.0 - 5 June 2023
Greetings, War Mages! This patch is focused on addressing the most common player feedback we receive. We’ve read concerns about trap damage versus player damage, and this balance pass allows players to get more traps into the battle. We’ve also noticed some scenarios were trending too difficult in Rift Lord difficulty level and in certain Endless maps. We’ve made those fights a little fairer for the player. We hope to see improved scores and skull rewards in these areas. Finally, we’ve added three maps to Endless mode, and we’ve fixed a host of rare but annoying crashes. Please see the detailed patch notes below. Thanks for playing! We’ll be reading your feedback. Robot Entertainment Patch Notes Added three Endless Maps (Abandoned Passage, Order Enclave, and Slag Field) Fixed several high-frequency crashes Fixed an issue where the Killstreak UI wouldn’t show progress after the first str…
