Review of “Orcs Must Die! – Deathtrap” for PlayStation 5

Alright, here goes my attempt at channeling some chaotic human energy into this article. Buckle up!


Ever had one of those days where you’re like, “Why am I doing this?” Well, that’s kinda like jumping into Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. Think of it as Orcs Must Die! but with a roguelite twist that keeps you on your toes, or maybe just makes you question your life choices. So, here’s the deal: you dive into these unpredictable runs, clueless about which bag of ugly you’ll fight next. It’s not just the orcs; expect random buffs and debuffs. And the weather changes mid-battle? Sure, why not.

Each run feels like tossing a coin—luck and skill brew some mystery cocktail. I mean, one minute you’re invincible, and the next, you’re more doomed than my weekend plans. Seriously. If things go south, retreat to your castle hub. Think of it like hiding in your room after a rough day, tinkering with gear, plotting your next move.

Oh, and if you’ve got PlayStation Plus, they’ve thrown in a four-player co-op mode. Because why suffer alone, right? I messed around with Orcs Must Die! 3 on my PS5 and thought, “Why not?” Larger levels, plus shooting and melee chaos? Count me in.

Now, controlling your character’s a whole thing. Left stick here, right stick there…sprint, aim, jump, blah blah. The real thrill? Zooming in to send those vile beasts back to whatever swamp spawned them. Anyone else feel like a War Mage has it rough?

You pick your War Mage, right? They’ve all got something quirky going on. Vaan, for instance, blasts foes with rapid-fire crossbow antics. He even has a Rift Protection Overdrive—like a security blanket for your Rift. Then there’s his Charge Beam, which locks him in place. Not optimal, but, hey, at least it fries enemies. Don’t forget the double jump. I mean, who wouldn’t love leaping around like you’ve had one too many energy drinks?

Then we have Wren—our friendly neighborhood healer turned destroyer. She’s got a wand, which is cool. And a Blink ability that’s honestly more useful than it sounds, letting her zip through danger like she’s dodging final exam questions. Her Mirror Images thing? Magic clones pop up, mimicking her attacks. Double trouble, if you ask me.

Traps? Plenty. We’ve got the Orc Eater—a hungry plant, really—and the Rip Saw, which sounds like a bad idea from a horror movie. But at least there’s a Poison Flower. It spits toxic clouds, which feels satisfying when pesky enemies croak. Vaan’s Rift Orb, though? Absolute gem. Buffs your traps like a caffeine-fueled wizard.

Gold Skulls are your currency for cool traps. And Elixirs? They add some spice, like an Anti-Death Elixir (which sounds pretty useful), or a Ballista Elixir, making your traps fire all wild. Anyway, get the Poison one—trust me, doubling poison damage is like chili on your nachos—game-changer.

Threads and the Weaver of Will—sounds like a soap opera, right? Threads tweak your abilities. One for anti-air makes auto crossbows go all in on fliers. And each War Mage has a special Thread. Vaan’s is the Critical Overload boosting critical hits, classic Vaan. Side quests unlock more Threads, and you can juggle them between waves like a magical fashionista.

Trophies? Oh yeah, they’re here. Platinum’s the top dog, but first, you’ve gotta battle your way through various challenges. Winning with different War Mages, smashing 10,000 orcs. Easily said, harder done, like telling yourself "just one more episode."

So, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap: it’s here, and it’s chaos tossed into a blender with traps, orcs, and debuffs. You’re either in or out. On PS5 with a $29.99 tag, there’s also a Supporters Pack for a snazzy $9.99—skins, weapons, the works. But, remember, it’s all madness. Exciting, chaotic madness. Now, where did I put my phone?


Disclaimer: This text emerges from my cluttered brain facilitated by a PlayStation 5 copy from Robot Entertainment. No orcs were harmed…I think.
