“Disappointing. How take all what was good and make it worse. Weapons don't have impact and combinations matter little. Everything is more skinnier and shiny. Traps and impact is less satisfying. Levels less interesting.…”

“This game is less fun than OMD2, but unlike the 2nd game, it actually runs above 10 fps and doesnt crash. The UI looks bland and soul, weapons do have a bit more umph to them. I would reccomend buying this game on sale.”

“From here, the series goes downhill imo. If you want to play any of these games alone, play the first. And if you wanna play OMD with a friend, play the 2nd. I still don't think this game deserves a negative review, cause it's not terrible. The 2nd is just better. So buy this if…”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“This is one of my favorite games of all time, I would watch my dad play this series when I was little and I'm glad to be here now. If you love trapping and slaughtering thousands of ruthless orcs, this is the one for you!”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“Great game. Follows the proven gameplay of 1 & 2 adding some new traps and characters. The levels are good (some of them terrific). Cons: - no endless on war scenario maps - the DLCs (especially the 1st one) could be better”
