Let's Play: Orcs Must Die! HD Gameplay Video

2011-10-07
hey guys this steve from gamers nexus done that we're going to play orcs must die by robot entertainment AKA ballers because they a lot of them came from ensemble studios makers of age of empires three and you know they have some skilled people over there this game is really simple it is based entirely if you had not guessed on killing orcs and we all know orcs are the worst things you could ever face in life as a fantasy character so with that in mind we're going to kill some works it's essentially and add to marry core it's a tower defense game except you play in third person as a standard fantasy character and our character is an archer in this case you can get different here's our spell if you can get a staff you can get different upgrades as well like this wind belt and while my guy is still talking in the background I wish he would shut his mouth anyway tower defense game they come in through the door that would be this big thing that resembles a door if you had not figured that out so they come in through the door follow this shiny blue line and it looks like they're actually going to split two directions which makes it way cooler because that's a lot more complexity right there okay i just had to double check right here because earlier when i did my first recording which failed due to lag issues i decided to jump in a pit of acid to see if it would kill me and spoiler alert it did so don't do that it's bad for your health as stated they're going to come through these two lines I need to stop them from coming in here and entering my rift which is this thing the beautiful rift and apparently they shouldn't go through here because it leads to I don't know it leads to wall street or something and we don't want them to go in there so we have some money we're going to lay down some traps we're going to kill it works and that's the core of the game let's so my trap book right here or spell book we have a few different options I just unlock these wild blades so I really want to try them let's get those down here spike trap is your basic trap it shoots spikes from the floor if you head and figure that out from the picture tar trap will slow things down so we're going to use tar traps and you can use these in conjunction with other traps like arrow walls so you slow them down and then you blast them with arrows repeatedly and that is just the basic strategy in this game not super complex but it's still really cool and works well together spring traps in addition to the other traps I've just mentioned will launch orcs over ledges and into acid pits or generally their death if you want to make it basic we also have Archer guardians which our NPCs and they can be killed but they're still really good we're going to get some of those I have upgraded you see these shields on these two traps that means i upgraded them so they're cheaper and well in this case cheaper and more cost effective so we can use barricades which essentially force them through a certain pathway so you can sort of amazed you're your lanes will call them in in your castle and force them through certain areas so very basic very similar to most tower defense games even though if I'm starcraft for our final item let's go with it's nice to have these cheap ones as sort of your baseline I kind of like the spring traps but let's close this for a second and see if there's a good spot for a spring trap launch I do not see you can spot down here and I'm not entirely sure because I haven't done it yet if launching them off of this what down there will kill them I assume it does but again not entirely sure so I think I'm going to skip the spring trap on this level and go with something probably more basic let's go with the actually I will get the spring trap and i'll tell you why i can use it to launch them into wall blades which will be awesome a not sure really cost effective but hey it'll be cool so that's all i'd say about that i'm not sure which door they come through first seems to vary but we have enough money to put some traps down in each hallway i'm going to try to combine my traps so that they get the best spread between both entrances possible looks like they're coming up those stairs oops that would seem kind of those stairs and entering over here so they are are they gone this way they are going that way I'm not going to be able to do it I wanted let's put this here put at our trap and front of it but to just to make sure they're slow that will riddle them with arrows we can put some wall blades uh where should we put the wall blades guys kind of I think they'd make a good last defense as well I want to do some wall blades over here and basically just channel them into them by using the barricades I talked about earlier so barricades first I'm not gonna have enough money for it that's one of the things you faced in this game you have to figure out what's going to most cost effective unfortunately archers can be killed so I'm not going to put them up there I will be able to put them down here though without being in line of the force other than or archers so let's put an archer back here a little bit that way he has some cover because we all know NPCs are fantastic at taking cover just kidding they're really not but you probably we need a little bit more setup and then we can go let's do spring-trap here like that and I'm out of money so I can do one more tart RAB somewhere to get ready for another but at our trap right here that way I can do an arrow trap in that wall in a minute let's start this way with the G button looks like they are in fact coming through this way now you gain skulls that's your objective gets goals oh and I need to say that words oh they were coming to both ways and that did work btdubs they died when they fell down there because that is a really far fall and apparently falling that far is not good for your help I have a whore's coming at me right now and oh man they're pretty easy to kill with this machine gun crossbow which we all know is totally realistic by the way they had these just ask I don't know ask Wikipedia it will tell you they have them because I will edit it to tell you they have them in medieval times so what I just did there was accidentally shoot down a chandelier you can shoot down prefab objects like that and it will damage the orcs so pretty cool stuff there it gives you some extra extra strategy you can use them and hard times as i was saying a minute ago you want to kill porks as fast as possible to get many skulls as possible and the skulls will give you different upgrades upgrades of course make your traps of better so more skulls better traps more efficient at killing and it's just a self-feeding cycle and from that I think the top right you'll see the number of wrist points I have as Oryx can pass me and run into the riff they will diminish my wrist points which means i will receive fewer skulls which means fewer upgrades and again self-perpetuating cycle of suck which is not a good cycle to be an FYI it has happened before in several recordings that are never going on youtube that is not to say actually yeah it is to say they are never going on because they were horrible looks like man guys this I'm so glad if at this level up is the most interesting one so far make sense because as you get further in the game they get more interesting I should probably put traps down there to try and kill or faster again to get more skulls faster so here they come up the stairs and blasting off arcane bolts and left and right here I feel like I'm playing an arcane archer and D&D 3.5 or something if you get that reference please like this video because you know how awesome they are oh so other than force which are really basic and we all know that its way through that then again really basically all know it orcs are besides them there are ogres which are super hard to kill and if they get through it costs you 5 rift points out of the current 25 so that is pretty devastating I can I'm going to put this here to force them through those blades and I'm going to put this here to slow them down in the blades so there is some combo in for you right there unfortunately there's not a while to put this on so that I can shoot them on there that as well Oh actually there is JK put it right there that is a pretty devastating trap let's start this wave so as I was saying ogres big and hard to kill there are also Co walls which will run past wow those horrible just pretend i didn't shoe right there that will run past all of your traps or almost all of them and different traps better on different enemies so kobold you're going to want to use slowing traps because they are stupidly fast they are basically like I don't even know what they like they are like ghosts from the original Halo or something they just run through there but we need to see this thing working right here like death trap of death unfortunately looks like it already death they're going to the death so we can't see it there we go ball to make it through fast they go straight for the rift and try and ruin your day orcs like these are just trying to get to the end of the level they're very basic the top right you can see if I let any through by looking at red dots they just look there to see where the enemies are currently they are all dead if you didn't notice and what else we got we got archers you saw a couple of those archers are pretty good the bad thing about them is they can shoot my archers so I don't like them that much but then again I don't like orcs that much in general because they smell let's put some more archers down and this is just going to be my attempt to kill these guys ever faster see where we can put another trap down here I want to do one of these here somewhere but I'm afraid it's not gonna I'm afraid it's gonna be too high to actually hit them and out of sight guys this oh day and I was not paying a dungeon where is he coming from thirties we have Oryx coming in from all three directions oh my gosh I'm going to lose some points on this one this is not good from me we need an archer go Archer go Archer he's probably going to die but it was for a good cause keep going here pork archers are now coming from the left side and they are they as I said earlier they are capable of killing my archers so keep that in mind try and stop as many as possible we were really down to 70 North points and still falling 16 see if I can stop this last guy so that was pretty harsh around because I was trying to block the bottom part so let's see if we can I think most of them got through here so try and make this area more effective and this one I think this one's pretty good as is so this time I'm going to focus over here and see if I can make sure that could not happen again it does I have no chance if you look at the top right you can see I have six out of nine waves currently complete so in other three waves and this level is over and we move on to the next and unlock new traps or spells because there is a spell book and you can get things like firewall as seen in the trailers so right now we have some guys making it pass over here man this is a challenging level I'll tell you that let's do another arrow trap try and save myself some effort there holy crap those wall blades are killer they just killed like six or sat at a time apparently any more of those try and stop these yeah so the problem with these traps that he hadn't noticed when you overlap them if they synchronize properly they will all trigger at different times that's killing a wider spread of Orcs however if they trigger simultaneously which it looks like they are kind of doing it will just kill one or many times over so you know one or will be hit by these arrows and that thing right there and that's just overkill and wasting efficiency but I'm hoping they're working properly I'm going to do a barricade here to force them on to that and can't do any arrow traps here unfortunately but I might might be tempted to put more archers down somewhere like at the end of these hallways they're normally pretty good way down here for example he should be able to i don't know what the range is exactly but he should be able to shoot almost all the way down there do another like I still alive hey B what's going on do another one all the way down here just in case any leak through this way and I feel like I'm playing starcraft one right now except in third person and it's not starcraft i'm going to start this round and let's see probably do another i want to do another barricade right there but i don't know if it's going to cost effective let's go for some arrow traps somewhere do some aircraft want to sit down here but i don't think they're really come through that way okay just they are oh man football's that is not going to give to me so as stated earlier co balls are stupidly fast good thing those wall traps are just slicing on the ribbons except for that guy who decided to be a baller and run right past it I do have a week like crazy on the right side despite my traps co well it's trying to get through the left they are blanking everywhere huge leak on the right side again need to get over here to stop this good thin I have my trust oh my G that's an ogre FYI and I can't really focus on them right now oh I have to focus on because that's going to suck up against it I think they will chase me though so I can just run him over traps repeatedly and that will kill them faster so basically you're going to want to kite these guys around the level once you get there ouch attention ouch and you can kitem over traps notice i took some damage there to heal i can go to the rift that will actually heal me got a coin which gives me more money so we can go here and I he'll just like that man only have 10 wrist points now this is going to be a sucky round I would probably only get a few skulls but it shows off the game pretty well running really this is going to be a tough one I need to do more of these I'm going to do it right here even though i don't think i need one there but i probably will use it regardless these co balls are going to ruin Wow look at all those words you guys just need to kill everything as fast as possible and not lose that's the objective here archers are super effective against orcs it is like pokemon fire pokemon like I don't know what charizard against squirtle or something because that Archer is squirtle and these it works are Charizard except not be really because that's an old reference we got some more leak over here on the rush back over here with sprint which as in most games is shift that ogre is about to destroy that poor Archer hopefully I keep them alive but I had better things to worry about right now like I'm not losing oh I was close right there damn one got through with the ogre go oh my gosh the ogre get through why did you guys tell me why that what's wrong with you too bad looks like the earlier go through that is a horrible horrible level I'm down to five I have not been that low I will probably only get one skull if that which is basically currency I don't know if I ever finish that sentence because i know i was trying through for about a year and i kept getting distracted skulls are basically currency so you want a lot of them to be able to actually get upgrades and you know be better in the game since i'm not doing amazing i will not get a nice boat but this is a really cool level and all that indicates to me is that unlike the first few levels that were slow the game does indeed pick up and speed and that's what we were worried about at least that's what i was worried that and looks like my worries were okay I was focusing on I could hold on it looks like my worries are not actually founded and much other than the first 15 minutes of the game were not incredibly challenging or mentally taxing but this area is definitely definitely the game I wanted to play so I'm really have you see this fortunately unfortunately rather my archers dead that's kind of mean to say unfortunately I guess so I am having to do all the work here when I put some more down here that way I get extra help because I'm not going to kill these on my own oh man not think about the middle there and ogre now one made it through if that guy makes it through I lose so I need to just take them down a minute to make sure he doesn't try and run through there you can right-click the stun them that's what I'm doing head shots do more damage i believe and just like any other game your reticle will sort of there we go reticle will expand as you shoot more so you gotta shoot slower for those headshots I'm sure someone can do math on whether it's worth it I actually got two skulls on that one not too bad at all actually I was expecting one but we look at exactly why I got that many so I lost I have 21 hours to find slots that is horrible but I'm happy to see that the game is advancing hen hey you know I was distracting the whole time and it's all your fault so that's what I have to say with that finished under par at 1239 part is 13 so that gave me a bonus skull your max is 5 that you can get shows us our kills and all that crap let's go back and we can look at upgrades I only have four skulls so I can't afford any of these upgrades and basically when you can't afford them like this one it'll deal more damage damage damage it'll deal more damage guys do more damage because there's steel wall blades you can get Archer champions which are better archers obviously I already got the extended arrow wall which shoots farther and then we have you can get you know stick your tar traps and poison spikes and all that crap so that is orcs must die I will do more videos as I keep playing this game because I am pretty happy with it I've been
