Orcs Must Die: Unchained vs Paladins
Orcs Must Die: Unchained
Orcs Must Die: Unchained is the free to play version of the popular Orcs Must Die game franchise. Being the third installment of the said franchise, the game still features the series' iconic tower defense-like (but with traps) gameplay but it has added a new multiplayer aspect that seem to combine the popular MOBA genre with tower defense, providing the game with a more competitive side. Interestingly, the game even let you decide which creeps you want to deploy, giving players more flexibility to craft the commonly AI-controlled element to suit their intentions be it to defend their own core or to heighten the offensive and put pressure on the opposing team's defenses. Of course, let's not forget about the franchise hallmark sense of humor as well - thankfully, this is as much as a part of Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 as it is in this MOBA-like game.As unique as this game is though, Orcs Must Die: Unchained hasn't really taken off into the mainstream, perhaps mainly because the game level-restricts its maps, forcing lower level players to replay the same low-level map over and over until they manage to unlock a new one. Not to mention, many fans of their previous game was not happy that the game has deviated so much from its original. However, if you're looking for a truly unique MOBA with tower defense elements, Orcs Must Die: Unchained is a very good game to play.
