it's true to the orc must die franchise, kind of fun. Not a great game, and I would only recommend this game to someone that is nostalgic for Orcs Must Die.

It's fun BUT and its a big BUT. you cannot change the 3 loadout slots of the Hero/Character you chose. What i mean is that Weapons are fixed to the Hero/Character along with a Trap unique to them. You have "Free limited" Barricades. this makes you use another slot for the "paid" Barricades. Spoilers you can acquire an addition Trap Slot 1 only. Still means that 3 Slots are used for "Things" that you may not use for your play style. Again IT'S FUN. For new players it might be interesting for returning players from previous installments its confusing.
