How co-op works
Two-player online co-op combines third-person combat with shared trap defense across campaign, Endless, and Scramble modes. Partners design linked killboxes and cover breaches directly, while War Scenarios add outdoor armies hundreds strong and oversized, mountable War Machines.
About this game
Orcs Must Die! 3 is an action-tower-defense hybrid where you and a partner protect castles from endless waves of orcs. You place deadly traps, wield powerful weapons, and coordinate defenses across huge maps, building deadly gauntlets that slice, burn, and grind invaders into oblivion. True online co-op lets two players share the workload, making every wave a test of timing and placement.

The game blends frantic combat with strategic trap design. You unlock new gear, upgrade your arsenal, and adapt to tougher orc variants as campaigns unfold. Success depends on communication and smart use of the environment, turning narrow corridors into killing floors and open courtyards into chaos. The variety keeps sessions fresh, whether you're experimenting with combos or perfecting your most sadistic blueprint.
Orcs Must Die! 3 supports online co-op for two players on PC. Each level rewards tight coordination, turning every defense into a satisfying puzzle of crowd control and timing. Solo play is possible, but teaming up adds depth and lets you pull off trap combos that feel impossible alone.
