I'll make this one short, as I've already reviewed the SAME game with a different number tag plastered over it, which is Orcs Must Die 1.
Orcs must Die 2 also has this cringeworthy storyline not even worth noting... You play as basically this stupid guy (now one of TWO stupid people) who is tasked with holding the line of defense so that orcs would not go through the rifts into the world.
The game is LITERALLY the same game that is its prequel; literally same graphics, same soundtrack even the same voice actors. Orcs Must Die 2 adds a couple more weapons, and more traps and it adds the dreadful TRAINTRACKS lol... Now the floors also include train track tiles and when orcs walk on them, a minecart usually sweeps them away and it's so glorious to see, and that's really about it... There is no RIGHT way to play the game, it just depends on which weapons / trinkets / traps combinations you like best... For me, that was the Arrow Guardian, crossbow and arrowhead traps with the grinder. The campaign is a couple of hours long if you know what you're doing and after you finish it, you can try your hands on Nightmare mode and a couple of other modes the game offers such as Endless, which is basically wave-based and it's a survival mode with leaderboards and whatnot.
It's fun and all but at some point it got really repetitive so I decided to get a friend to play co-op Endless mode with me... and it's not as functional as the game seems to be trying to sell. It's clunky, and when a lot of big fatted Orcs are on the screen on Co-Op the game seems to become real slow and unmanageable. Orcs Must Die 2! is a 6/10 game that I'm sure I'd forget ever playing tomorrow.
