Orcs Must Die! 2

Orcs Must Die! 2 mixes third-person combat with trap-based defense, asking you to prepare kill zones and then jump into the chaos yourself. Between waves, you place spike traps, launchers, barricades, and other nasty tools, then use weapons and magic to patch whatever your plan failed to handle. The game has a playful, arcade-like tone, and its two-player co-op makes the trap layouts feel even more improvisational. It is best for players who want tower defense with hands-on action rather than a purely top-down strategy game.
