What drives the score
Grades: S best, D weakest
S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
that one's good. Sheesh so good. Good: • You gradually learn, you gradually unlock weapons, which is awesome for the learning curve. This one by itself is +10 points, it involves learning to counter certain orcs, learning what they do and fixing mistakes. Awesome awesome. • Kewl story. • Maps are huge quality of life, with the hologram showing Orcs path, with dots in the map. • Fun to keep tinkering with the weapons...

No crashes. Co-op works great with story and endless mode. Score is sometimes bugged, not working correctly and giving you a zero at the end of the match, but you still get all the skulls so its not a big deal. Going for 100% steam achievements is a little challenging, but with using maxed out traps/weapons/trinkets and killboxes or guides for difficult levels ur gonna be GOOOOD. Only one achievement i struggled...
This game really needs a level editor because theres too few levels and I wish traps were stronger so we can watch the traps at work. I really like the game but it feels like the game ends right when you're having the most fun.
