Orcs Must Die!: Unchained - Hands-on Preview

Robot Entertainment first expanded upon traditional tower defense mechanics in 2011 with the frenetic Orcs Must Die! The sequel, Orcs Must Die! 2 continued to elaborate on the genre by adding co-op play, and this year, we see Robot's most ambitious tower defense-derived idea yet--team-based PvP. This week, the guys at Robot challenged the press to a savage siege-off during a hands-on preview of its third game, Orcs Must Die!: Unchained, and it was a match to remember.

Dungeon of the Endless: Dungeon of the Endless Preview

Dungeon of the Endless Preview

Dungeon of the Endless is a bit of a mind-bender to describe. In fact, when I first heard of it, I had trouble conceptualizing what the game even was. A rogue-like melded with tower defense? What does that even look like? If ever there were two genres I didn't expect to meet, those were it. Imagine my surprise when I found that it's also a full-fledged RPG with definite RTS leanings. Mind. Blown.
