Orcs must Die

That's done the trick - sorry, though, my gf figured it out before you :p. Well, that'll give me another 5 maps to get skulls on before switching to nightmare :/
 
I got this in the steam sale, glad I did it's pretty fun so far, certainly better than dungeon defenders. i've completed war mage difficulty and started on nightmare, though it annoys me that the main difference is no pause anywhere at the start or between waves. i expected more of the harder mob types but making you do it in 3 seconds seems harsh and makes it all a mad rush.
 
Is that the only difference, no pauses between waves or at the start? I would have thought there'd be more mobs earlier on at least, if not extra gnolls & ogres.

Think the orger's are harder too..
 
yeah they are, more armoured types etc, it's just the lack of time to plan properly that annoys me. a misplaced trap gives you a window of about 3 seconds to sell and replace. i got the achievement for beating a level with 1 rift thing remaining on the 2nd level of nightmare and only just, i had failed it twice before! all due to lack of time i reckon :P
 
Just downloaded the demo! Such good fun.

Made a little 1-3 wave video only 4 mins long.
Will stick it on YT in 1080p for people to see.

Might have to buy the full game of this :D
 
Just got a under 2K rank on a map :O Pleased with myself!.

i still dont understand the game points wise , anyone care to explain? when i played the demo i got 4 sculls sometimes even tho i felt i did it perfect , no orcs got past etc

can someone explain?
 
You get four skulls for not letting any orcs past, decreasing numbers the more you let through. The fifth skull is for finishing under the par time, so try not to spend too much time fluffing with your setups :p
 
plus it's all about combos, chaining together hits on an orc with different traps increases the multiplier. if you throw in archers to the mix with their purchasable ability later on then you can hit the big combo scores. i've managed to get into the top 200 with a couple of scores i was happy with those :P but that was on war mage though :(
 
I've got a bunch of high scoring videos on Youtube from Warmage difficulty up on my Steam forum thread here:

My game name is Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Still recording more all the time, just takes a bit of time to get a good recording done sometimes, especially depending on the level.

Your guardians don't come back to life on Nightmare either. once they die they die, and you can't reuse that spot on the map anymore.

The most annoying thing I find with selling traps is that sometimes it simply doesn't want to let you do it, so you get 3 seconds to sell up and you are hovering over the trap but it doesn't give you the option to sell it.

My top score is just over a mill on The Tower NM :P

Shoulda guessed guardians don't res, if you don't get an breaks. Sounds pretty frantic - gonna give it a whirl when I have a bit of spare time :)

There are far more ogres in nightmare mode. I've recently finished the whole game. 5 skulls on every level in nightmare, including the DLC, the very last DLC level took me ages and ages to find the right tactics
