God is a GeekChris WhiteJan 20258.5/10Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is a thrilling rogue-like that gets continually better the more you play, whether alone or with friends.

DualShockersKerem Dogan KarakocJan 20258/10Deathtrap is a return to form with much-appreciated new twists like 4-player co-op, upgradable traps, hero abilities, and much bigger maps. Although the barricade limit is a solid deal-breaker, Deathtrap feels and plays like a solid Orcs Must Die! game and finally feels like a proper step forward for a series that felt like it was doomed to be forever chasing past successes.

ZTGDTerrence JohnsonFeb 20256/10But with brutal difficulty, playable War Mages whose albitites just feel lackluster and no real narrative to speak of this entry feels more like two steps back in the series rather than one step forward.
