  Challenge Accepted - Coming Soon: New Ways to Play!

  Hey War Mages – Kyle here – game director on Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. We’ve been hard at work on adding some new ways to play and some extra challenge for those looking for it. I’ve been excited to tell you all about this because we’ve been having a ton of fun playing it. So, let’s get into it: Difficulty 20The first addition is the smallest, but ties into the new modes as well. You can now crank the difficulty slider up to 20 – the previous cap was 10. This drastically increases enemy health and damage. I know some of you have reached this scaling during runs, but it feels quite a bit different when you start there with no Threads.ChallengesWhen you approach the Rift in the Order Fortress, you’ll now see two additional mode options. The first you’ll see is Challenge Mode. These are extra difficult challenge runs handcrafted by our designers that can be played solo or in co-op. I’ve always loved the challenges in previous OMD games, and here we wanted to experiment with some new ideas as well. Unlike previous games, you’ll be able to take the War Mage and trap loadout (and elixir) of your choice into the Challenge. The Challenges feature custom waves of enemies as well as some Distortions created exclusively for this mode. There are other factors that you’ll see affected by the Challenges: Rift Points, Difficulty slider, Barricade count, and whether your trap and skill tree upgrades are active.Another cool change compared to previous Challenge modes is that these Challenges can be multiple Missions long. Some are just one Mission, but others are three or five. There are ten Challenges to start with, and each keeps track of your high score. Some even grant new cosmetics you can equip to your War Mage when you complete them. Note: Some of these are obtained via Endurance Mode (which we'll get to shortly)!The Challenges are tough, but they’re fun and they get us thinking about beating the levels in new ways.EnduranceWe hear the calls for Endless mode, we’ve been testi...
