ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED is a fast-paced Fortress Siege game in which teams of heroes battle head-to-head to attack and defend ancient strongholds. For the first time in Orcs Must Die!, teams of players are responsible for both sides of the battle – building traps to stop the enemy assault and summoning their own armies to lead against the enemy defense. Dozens of unique and powerful heroes offer deep gameplay options at all skill levels, and players can build an arsenal from an enormous variety of choices, customizing their strategy for every match. New heroes, weapons, traps, and minions are continuously added, and a player's collection will never stop evolving.
Founder's Packs are currently available and provide tremendous value on a wide assortment of items including Heroes, exclusive skins and in-game currency, plus instant access to the game during beta. For more information about ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED and the Founder's Packs, visit http://www.OrcsMustDie.com, or follow the game on Facebook and Twitter.
ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED will be published in North America by Robot Entertainment and in Europe by GameForge. Plans for releasing the game in other regions will be announced soon. ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED will be available exclusively as a free digital download on PC in late 2014.
