Orcs Must Die is an action strategy game which insists that the player must remove all traces of Orc-kind from the world.
Simply put, the orcs are coming, and it’s your job to make sure they snuff it in a variety of horrible and/or comical ways.
One of which is the spring trap that’s highlighted in the latest trailer you can see on the developer’s blog page.
The spring trap can catapult a hapless green-skin into a pool of something incredibly unpleasant such as lava, acid or Halfling ale. As the trailer illustrates, it can be combined with other traps to good effect, even launching orcs into the air for adventurers to pin-cushion with arrows, clay pigeon style.
Orcs Must Die looks like one of those incredibly addictive little indie outings, developed by independent studio Robot Entertainment which was formed by ex-Ensemble employees (of Halo Wars and Age of Empires fame).
It’s expected to be released at some stage this summer, and the sooner the better in our opinion. The only good orc is a dead one, floating in a pool of acid with sixteen arrows in his back.
