Press release:
PLANO, TX – January 28, 2025.
The Plano-based (Texas, the US) indie games developer Robot Entertainment are today very happy and excited to announce that their third-person combat/trap-laying strategy game “Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap“, is now available for PC (via Steam and EGS) and Xbox (Xbox Series X|S via Xbox Game Pass).

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is the fifth game in the critically acclaimed Orcs Must Die! franchise. This latest chapter of orc slaying mayhem features much deeper progression systems, as players grow their War Mages to become stronger every battle and enjoy endless replayability as they face off against hordes of relentless orcs either solo or with up to four players in thrilling co-op gameplay. Players are challenged to set traps, upgrade their defenses, and use their hero’s unique weapons and abilities to prevent orcs from entering the rift, a gateway and powerful source of magic.

Offering adaptive difficulties based on the number of players, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap lets players choose from 6 War Mages, each with their own playstyles, personalities, traps and abilities. Finding synergies between them, maximising their kit and tailoring playstyles is key to successfully smashing orcs.

Each intensifying wave of enemies is bolstered with randomised buffs and debuffs. Utilising the environment, while factoring in weather and time of day will be key in pushing back against the growing hordes. As the buffs and debuffs grow, players can choose to fight on or return to their castle hub to power their hero, weapons, and traps before facing a formidable Orc General in a brutal boss fight.

Players can learn more about Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap by visiting the official website, or by following the game on Facebook and X.
