The game’s dynamic approach ensures no two runs are the same. You will face waves of orcs and other grotesque creatures, made more unpredictable with randomized buffs and debuffs affecting heroes, traps, and even the environment. Variables like weather conditions and time of day further alter gameplay, adding strategic depth. Between battles, you can retreat to your castle hub to upgrade your arsenal before tackling the final challenge: a powerful Orc General in an epic boss fight.
Combat in Deathtrap builds on the series’ signature blend of hero-based action and inventive trap designs. You can expect tight third-person controls, thrilling melee and ranged combat, and delightfully chaotic physics-based interactions. The traps themselves are as imaginative as ever, flinging, crushing, slicing, and burning orcs in spectacular ways that deliver both strategic satisfaction and comic relief.
True to its roots, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap retains the humor and charm that fans have come to love. From witty orc banter to outrageous ragdoll physics and a pulse-pounding rock soundtrack, the game stays faithful to its playful and over-the-top spirit, ensuring an adrenaline-fueled experience. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is slated for release on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store along with Xbox Series X|S.
