I played Orcs Must Die in 2022 and had an absolute blast

I played Orcs Must Die in 2022 and had an absolute blast. While this game is considerably more basic than Orcs Must Die 2, I found it to be much more challenging. However, it is only single player. Your objective is to stop Orc Hordes that are trying to cross The Rift. To achieve this, you will need to use your creativity, weapons, and traps to kill them all. This game has two DLCs, and while both are cheap, the "Lost Adventures" one unlocks a ton of content. If you can find them in a bundle for a good price, they are definitely worth it. Otherwise, just go for the "Lost Adventures." Also, if you buy this game, it is like getting a DLC for Orcs Must Die 2, because you will unlock ten levels from this game in OMD2. If you are planning to play OMD2, you absolutely have to get this game! If you are looking for a more polished version of this game, just go for Orcs Must Die 2.
