Orcs Must Die! Unchained 
Save
Scramble Mode is coming to Orcs Must Die! 3!Jul 19, 2021 - Community Announcementshttps://i.imgur.com/Ke9E6Su.jpg Reminiscent of Chaos Trials from Orcs Must Die! Unchained, Scramble mode is a reimagined version which progresses faster - providing a debuff at the beginning of each round, and a buff at the end of each round! You'll face 5 levels of increasingly difficult Orc armies using one pool of rift points, and will need to carefully choose your buffs, debuffs, and loadouts in order to survive!! https://i.imgur.com/9Vyo7Ak.jpg When you first enter Scramble Mode, you will be prompted to make a choice between two different levels, each of which will come with a unique debuff, something to make the Orc army more terrifying. For instance, you might have options like “Lose 10 rift points on death”, “Increase mana cost of all weapons”, “Adds dynamite archers to every wave. Makes dynamite archers stronger”, or some of the dozens of other debuffs available. https://i.imgur.com/YRiZhvl.jpg The good news is, if you manage to survive the first level with some rift points intact, you will get a choice between three buffs, something to improve your own odds. These are options like “All wall traps do double damage”, “Double your hit points”, “Headshots heal the player”, or one of more than 50 total buffs. After you choose your buff, you once again pick from two more level options, each with their corresponding debuffs. You have the chance to reroll one debuff per tier, but be careful, as you might get stuck with something even tricker to deal with! https://i.imgur.com/WftgXc6.jpg This means that by the 5th tier, you will have some combination of 4 buffs, and the orcs will have some combination of 5 debuffs against you - leading to a whole lot of possible combinations each time you run through Scramble Mode. We hope everyone enjoys the new game mode on July 23rd, when Orcs Must Die! 3 launches!Orcs Must Die! 3 is coming to Steam on July 23rd!Jun 14, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsOrcs Must Die! 3 is coming to Steam, Playstation, and Xbox!

Unchained and Hero Academy games close their doors in AprilJan 8, 2019 - EurogamerAll good things must come to an end, even Orcs Must Die! Unchained, as developer Robot Entertainment has announced the title - along with games Hero Academy and Hero Academy 2 - will close in a few months. "It's painful to even write this," begins Robot Entertainment's blog post. "We know this decision affects our players as much as it does us." Servers for all three games are shutting on Monday 16th April at 5am UTC. From now until then, players who log into Orcs Must Die! Unchained and Hero Academy 2 will receive "a substantial free grant of hard and soft currencies to enjoy the remaining weeks of live play". Like an end-of-the-world party if you had a bunch of cash. Read more… Orcs Must Die! Unchained and Hero Academy shutting down AprilJan 7, 2019 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunFree-to-play defend-o-shooter Orcs Must Die! Unchained and both games in Robot Entertainment’s turn-based Hero Academy series are set to close their doors this April. In an apologetic letter to players, CEO Patrick Hudson explains that the games simply cost more to run than they make back in return. The studio itself doesn’t seem to be in immediate danger, with Robot currently working on two new games that they plan to unveil later this year. Account registration for the games should end soon, but the last few Unchained players will find themselves with a sack of currency to spend over these final three months. (more…) Orcs Must Die! Unchained Ceasing OperationsJan 7, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHi all, It's painful to even write this. We are sorry to say that we will be closing down Orcs Must Die! Unchained, Hero Academy, and Hero Academy 2. Making and supporting a game is a long and challenging journey. Along the way, there are plenty of highs and plenty of lows. The communities who play our games join us on these journeys. We know this decision affects our players as much as it does us. We've kept these games operating at a financial loss for many months. Unfortunately, it's no longer sustainable for us to do so. We must shift our focus to future games and make our investments there. All three games will remain playable until Monday, April 8th, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time (UTC-05:00). Commencing immediately, all players logging into Orcs Must Die! Unchained and Hero Academy 2 will receive a substantial free grant of hard and soft currencies to enjoy the remaining weeks of live play. You may have to wait up to 24 hours for the currency grant to arrive in your account. We do not have a way to immediately make the grants upon first login. All of us at Robot would like to thank everyone who has played one of these games. We've loved interacting with you in game, on our forums, and at places like PAX. We hope you give us the opportunity to join you again in our future games. Patrick Hudson, CEO FAQ What? Why? Orcs Must Die! Unchained and Hero Academy 2 have been unable to maintain a sufficient player base to cover the operational costs to keep the games running. The original Hero Academy has been technically obsolete for a long time now. We could not maintain the pace of operating system updates from Apple. It was actually removed from the App Store in early 2018. What happens to my game data? After the games cease operations, all Robot-controlled data associated with these three games (such as player progress, inventory, player achievements, and including all Robot Online account information) will be removed and permanently destroyed per applicable EU GDPR and platform mandates. We will not be able to recover any of your data for OMDU, HA2, or HA after the shutdown. When will the servers shut down? 10:00 a.m. Dallas (UTC-5:00) time, Monday, April 8th, 2019. I've never played. Can I make a new account? We will be removing the ability to create new accounts and download the game over the course of the next 90 days. How do I get free in-game currency before the games shut down? Just log in. It will not happen immediately or automatically. At least once per day, we will grant copious amounts of currency to all recently active players. What's going on at Robot Entertainment? We are working on two new games, and we're very excited about both of them. We don't have more to say about them just yet, but we hope to announce them both during 2019.RELEASE 2.7.1 - PATCH NOTESMar 20, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsCompensation: Upon logging in, all current and future players will receive 9,000 Skulls and a seven (7) day Battle Pass as compensation for the outages between March 10th and 11th.

Brass: Health increased by 100%. Developer Comment: Brass's health is too low given how close she must get to enemies to use her Shotgun. This should make her SIGNIFICANTLY more durable. Damage of Cannonball increased by 40%. Cooldown of Cannonball increased by 50%. Developer Comment: We heard your feedback. Brass has too many short cooldown abilities competing with each other, making it difficult to utilize all of her skills. This change should preserve the DPS of her cannonball, while providing more opportunities to include it in her flow.Turret health increased by 100%. Turret range increased by 20%. Turret re-target delay reduced to 0.2 seconds, from 0.75 seconds.Developer Comment: We believe the DPS output of Brass's turret is incredibly powerful. However, it can be hard to keep the turret alive and within range of enemies on higher difficulty battlegrounds. These changes should help alleviate that problem. Brass Bombs damage lowered by 20%. Developer Comment: This is the most powerful of Brass's skills. With the other buffs provided, we want to make sure she doesn't go overboard in power. Reorganized Brass's weaver upgrades to be more competitive.Junk Yard weaver increased to 2 scrap per second, from 1.Cannonball Coming! weaver reduced to 33%, from 50%. Scrap costs lowered by 25%. Scrap drop chance lowered by 25%. Developer Comment: These changes are designed to buff Swiss Army Wrench's ability to generate scrap, without making existing scrap generation weaker.

However, he will still behave much differently than in patch 2.5.Fixed multiple tooltips.Release 2.6 - Brass - Patch NotesDec 5, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsAvailable December 6!

We believe this addition will offer a tremendous benefit to the community. New for Sabotage: New Battleground: Castle GatesNew Consumable: Terracotta GiantsNew Consumable: Elemental MagesNew Consumable: Hide Minimap New: Chaos Trial Modifiers Additional Terracotta GiantsNo Minimap in Combat General: Leaderboards will be reset with this update.

Free/250/500/1000/2000/4000/etc.The purchased guardian potion consumable with unlimited uses now provides TWO free guardians (up from 1). Developer Comment: We've been searching for the right way to adjust the difficulty of solo play for a while. This change simultaneously adds more decision making to guardian placement, while lowering the difficulty of managing multiple lanes for solo players. Balance Changes Gabriella:When standing still, Blink will now default to backwards. Developer Comment: We've heard a lot of feedback about the recent changes to blink. This is a compromise to help players who are accustomed to the old functionality. Deadeye:Now receives a 20% discount on Boom Barrels.

Defend three breaches to the best of your ability without too much help from wall traps. Castle Gates - Survival (Master and Rift Lord) and Endless Breaching the Castle Gates is a solid strategy for the Wu Xing Dynasty. Once inside, defending this open map will be a challenge. Funneling the front gates to one side is imperative. Midnight Market - Survival (Warmage and Rift Lord) and Sabotage These marketplaces of the White Tiger Empire are popular night spots. This seems to be exactly why the Wu Xing Dynasty has chosen to attack them so aggressively. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/12164976/c1b3d10def207d8c60cf4d86b01ce6309cfaedcb.jpg New Feature: Weekly Challenge Matchmaking The community has requested this feature for quite a while.

New Hero: Yi-Lin Yi-Lin is a quick, melee hero who uses her twin swords to devastating effect. Her use of combos can deal devastating damage as well as provide regeneration making her a true force to be reckoned with. Yi-Lin is not just any accomplished fighter. This woman out of time was the greatest and most loyal warrior fighting in service of her friend, Chang’E, Empress of the White Tiger Empire. In centuries past, the White Tiger Empire and its allies were threatened by certain destruction as orcs and other invaders poured into their kingdoms from the Dark World. Seeing no other solution, the dwarves of Thuricvod evacuated the stone halls of their home on Centre. Fleeing to the safety of their homeworld and collapsing the portals behind them to cut off the invading forces left the White Tiger Empire with few options for its defense and even fewer allies. Desperate for a solution to protect her people and preserve her empire, Chang’E forged new alliances and agreed to share her powerful rift magic in exchange for the White Tiger Empire’s relocation into the clouds in a bargain with the Jade Rabbits. But the Empire’s preservation came at a high cost for Yi-Lin. Left behind as the eternal guardian of the final rift to the reborn Cloud Tiger Empire, Yi-Lin transformed into the Jade Sentinel she had previously been in name only and began her watch over the Lotus Temple. For over one thousand years Yi-Lin stood vigilant, waiting. Now a shadowy figure known only as “Reve” has unleashed unstable rifts on the Lotus Temple, renewing the ancient assault on the White Tiger Empire with the hope of reaching their new empire in the clouds. Yi-Lin, the Jade Sentinel has awoken to defend Centre once more against the hordes of orcs, soldiers, and her old enemies – the Wu Xing Dynasty.

This massive update contains three new maps, a brand new faction of enemy invaders, the powerful new hero Yi-Lin, and much more. Update: The Wu Xing Battles update has been delayed by one week due to a technical issue and will launch on November 1. New Hero https://cdn.orcsmustdie.com/content/WebsiteCDN/blog/2017-10-10/WuXingBattles_Hero.jpg New Maps Hordes of never-before-seen enemies are invading the White Tiger Empire on three brand new maps and it’s up to us War Mages to defeat them. Defend the White Tiger Empire’s beautiful Water Gardens in Survival mode and hold the Castle Gates in Survival and Endless! Both locations offer strategic challenges with open layouts and not much room for wall traps. The Midnight Market is a popular nighttime location and is under heavy attack in both Survival and Sabotage game modes! https://cdn.orcsmustdie.com/content/WebsiteCDN/blog/2017-10-10/WuXingBattles_Maps.jpg New Enemies The new Wu Xing invaders are on the march and they bring fresh skills and tactics into the mix! Being masters of the five elements, even the common Wu Xing soldiers and archers have magic armor. Their massive Terracotta Giants do not attack players directly, but slow any nearby players and march faithfully to the rift on their mission of destruction. The “Red” Pandas are real tricksters, casting powerful speed boosts on their allies, and the Elemental Mages throw bouncing orbs of elemental energy. Last but definitely not least, the Water Dragon hunts players, but unlike other enemies of this type it casts an area-of-effect splash attack. https://cdn.orcsmustdie.com/content/WebsiteCDN/blog/2017-10-10/WuXingBattles_Faction.jpg Tune In!

You'll have to think quickly about your strategy to complete this challenge! Can you complete this weekly challenge with Stinkeye, Gabriella, and Midnight?A Look into the Future of OMDU!Sep 21, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHello War Mages! It's been a while since my last update, so I thought I'd give everyone a heads-up on the latest happenings and plans for Orcs Must Die! Unchained over the next few months. The biggest OMDU news of the summer was the release on Playstation 4 in July following the launch on PC earlier this Spring. On the PC side of the world, we've been focusing on tons of smaller, long-requested improvements that have hopefully made a big difference in your playing experience. Things like fast restarts, rerolling Chaos Trials, and some fundamental changes to how players interact with their Daily Quests have rolled out recently and there are more changes like this to come. Plus, we've managed to sneak in a few biggies like Deadeye, four new Endless maps, and the Endless Summer event on all platforms. We’ve even added some fun vanity rewards to achievements in-game! One area that we'd really like to improve on is synchronizing our PC and PS4 releases. As it stands now, our Playstation release is usually 3-4 weeks behind the release of the PC version of the game. Having the releases out of alignment in this way is painful for development (which is our problem), but more importantly, it hurts the long-term growth of the game. To address this, we’re going to bring the PS4 version of the game up to be concurrent with PC and ensure that all our future releases are coming for both groups at the same time. By lining up the release schedule we can spend more time adding new features and less time managing the ins-and-outs of staggered releases. There is some short-term pain to get the PC and PS4 updates synchronized, however. In order to achieve this, we'll need to break our regular monthly update cycle for September and there will not be another update for the PC until October. The extra wait is not ideal, but the end result will be our largest OMDU update yet, and it will be available to both platforms at the same time. Harmonia will dig into the details soon, but expect to see some of the great new content you've been asking for, some new features, a new community event, and perhaps even a certain “coming soon” hero! Oh, and PC players, we'll finally get our long-promised Discord integration into the October release. That's all for now. We've got some really fun plans for the rest of the year, and we're looking forward to sharing them with you soon, too. Keep the feedback coming!
