After an endless parade of shooters focused on attacking, it is amazing to see what a talented dev can do with a game focused on the opposite. Orcs Must Die! provides compelling evidence that it's better to play defense than offense.
Genevieve at Skewed and Reviewed recently spoke with composer Chris Rickwood about his busy career and about some of his recent game compositions such as the soundtrack for Orcs Must Die and many other amazing games. They talk about his work and what it takes to be a success scoring games.
More and more video games are entering the board game market these days. With the likes of the X-COM, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Gears of War and Civilisation being converted into board game format I imagine more video games series aren’t far behind. Here is a list of some that I would like to see.
Player 2 looks back at why Orcs Must Die 1 & 2 are some of the best examples of the Tower Defence genre
Dungeon Defenders is another good one. I'm curious how it compares to this game...they kinda sound similar.
Huh, this game sounds pretty interesting. I think I'll check it out!
But back to G3ars, isn't Horde mode mostly defense? Especially now that you can lay down spike strips and stuff like that.
With that title I was expecting this game to be about The Lord of the Rings.
Nice to see a new game with some viable, alternative options. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that it's from an indie developer, either!
Why make the comparison in the title? These games are nothing alike.
