Orcs Must Die 2 SKIDROW





The player character is known simply as the apprentice. A member of the Order, the apprentice is a stubborn and impulsive human who loves to kill Orcs, and was only recruited because of his innate magical talent. The Order is tasked with maintaining fortresses in the Dead World, and keeping the magical rifts to other worlds contained within out of the hands of the Orcs and other members of the adversarial faction known as the Mob (including Ogres and Gnolls), which want to ravage new territories, although their true intention is unknown.Orcs are portrayed as being less intelligent than humans, but are skilled with medieval style weapons (mainlycrossbows, as they have excellent eyesight), and are highly determined and will stop at nothing to get to the rift.
After an attack on the Order fortress where he was completing his apprenticeship, the apprentice finds himself as the only surviving member of the Order. He must set traps and hazards, and use his skills with bladestaff,crossbow, and magic to defend the fortress and its rifts from the horde of gruesome monsters.
As the attacks continue, the apprentice learns of an intelligence behind the horde: the Sorceress. Once a powerful member of the Order, the Sorceress entered the other world to use magic to control an army. She seeks to crush the rest of the Order, which, by the end of the game, is only the apprentice. He figures out that the rifts are what provide magic in both worlds. In the end, he seals all the rifts. While this separates the worlds, protecting the human world from the orcs, it also removes the source of magic that the human world had relied upon to make their lives better (for example, weather magic was used to dispel droughts and healing magic was used to stop disease). This leads to a weakening of the human world.
