“First off, the gameplay is pretty much exactly what you expect from an Orcs Must Die game. If you've played any, you'll likely enjoy this game. That's the good. The bad is what makes me unable to recommend this game to…”
“Quite the fun roguelite version of OMD that you can play with more than 2 players. I do not understand why everyone was expecting OMD 4 from this one, hence why it is called Deathtrap and not 4.”
“TLDR: Game is awesome, technically it is a completed game although it is missing things that the devs were talking about adding such as new characters, but the developers are officially MIA, the game is apparently…”

“TLDR: It's not bad, but it doesn't feel good. Too much RNG and they've removed the freedom of choice in specilized playstyle. it makes it feel like I'm wasting time instead of enjoying it. it look, sound and otherwise…”
“To begin - Zero connection issues or bugs like other reviews have mentioned maybe they have done an update recently which has fixed it but yeh, no issues Really fun tower defense game with good fps elements. It doesn't…”

“I have mixed feelings on OMDD, ultimately, I view it as a positive game, well worth the price or even moreso. You can tell the developers put a lot of time into it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's problems.…”

“Been playing OMD since the beginning, I love the franchise (except unchained) and OMD DT is the best evolution yet. It feels like a more polished version of OMD3. I enjoyed the talent tree, the variety of characters and…”

“If you like OMD3 you'll like this. Just ignore the negative reviews. It's as fun as the older games, but it gives you even more stuff and replayability. There's new hero-based abilities and ultimates, beautiful…”
“I really like this game, it has become a staple for me. Best iteration of all of the Orcs Must Die games and adds so much replayability to it thanks to the new Rogue-like elements. Great to play with friends.”
“This is a tough one for me. I am a long time Orcs Must Die (OMD) fan, who has played every game in the series. The biggest change is that a run, is no longer a single map. It is now a five map series with increasing…”

“I'll be nice and give the game a recommend, but I'll tack on some caveats. I recommend this game with friends but cannot bring myself to recommend it if you plan to play alone. I'm having a blast playing with my friends…”
“Fun and challenging with variety of trap and character builds to spare. Definitely a few bugs and some unfinished map designs, but overall a fun play for many hours.”

“This game is a big fail, as far as I am concerned. I have played all Orcs Must Die (OMD) games, and enjoyed them all, except for this one. The levels are far too open, with limited barricades, and it's hard to cluster…”
“Lackluster game compared to the rest of the franchise and it was abandoned after about 6 months of content. The fact that it still hasn't got an Endless mode to this date is pretty baffling as it was the most requested…”
“If you’re a fan of Orcs Must Die, just don’t buy this. There’s no story or campaign system, unlike OMD 1, 2, and 3, which gradually increase map difficulty and improve design as the story progresses. The maps are poorly…”

“DO NOT LISTEN TO THE HATERS… I was hesitant to get the game because of the reviews but it’s honestly insanely fun. For 15$ on sale you can’t go wrong especially if you plan on playing CO OP. I never leave reviews but it honestly pissed me off how many people tried to compare…”

We miss unchained terribly. But the reason I'm writing this review is because I've seen all the negative reviews on this game and honestly it…”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“I'm a bit torn on recommending or not. The game is quite fun to play coop, killing some orcs while taking to a friend. However, having played OMD3 and getting 100% achievements.. comparing it to this version, it's a downgrade imo. Of course the game isn't a pure tower defense…”
