Google Stadia is able to improve it in one key way: make the hordes bigger and badder.
Orcs must die 3 traps series#
It’s a formula that works thanks to the puzzle-like mindset it puts players in as they figure out what Rube Goldberg-like series of traps is the best. The gameplay loop of Orcs Must Die! 3 hasn’t changed much from previous games: build a series of traps, fend off hordes of invading orcs, use the points you gain to beef up your traps more, and rinse and repeat until you win. From that story alone, you can tell that this is a title Google was more involved in, which plays into why the game is actually one of the few exclusives to show off Stadia’s unique strengths as a platform. Sadly, the series hit a rough patch, and its future seemed grim after Orcs Must Die! Unchained was shut down.įortunately, Google saved the project and got Robot Entertainment to make the game for Stadia because they were fans of the franchise, according to a Reddit post from the developer’s CEO. The core concept of Orcs Must Die! is reminiscent of Fortnite: Save the World, though the original Orcs Must Die! games launched almost six years before Fortnite. Regardless, it takes advantage of the platform in its impressive War Scenarios, which makes it a must-buy game for anyone intrigued by Stadia’s potential, even if I wouldn’t call it a “killer app” just yet. The game still has some rough edges, thanks to a weak story and missing content compared to its predecessor. Orcs Must Die! 3 finally bucks that trend. Unfortunately, not many games take advantage of these features in impressive ways, even among Stadia exclusives. Google’s fledgling cloud gaming platform has a lot of promising tech behind it that allows it to do things like stream large worlds without lag, show multiple screens at once without a hit to resolution, and save your game state so you can share it with others.
The third entry in the franchise takes things to new heights thanks to the unique processing power of Google Stadia. Orcs Must Die! Is an influential tower defense series where players build traps and other structures in order to fight off hordes of titular orcs, as a new villain with a connection to a classic Orcs Must Die! Unchained's Cygnus emerges. Orcs Must Die! 3 is the first Stadia exclusive to actually feel like it was made for the platform.
