Preface: Keep in mind that I am going to review this game... without the DLCs. They're not bad. It's just that I haven't bought them... yet. Even though I've had Orcs Must Die for a while.

The story of the game is about a young-adult, sarcastic, nameless Warmage who's defending rifts in dungeons, which is gateways to the Warmages' medieval world, against waves of Orcs.
I do not wish to spoil any quotes or scenes from the game, because that would just ruin everything.

The gameplay is Tower-Defence... but not in a traditional way with a birds-eye-view. You play as the Warmage in 3rd person, like Gears of War(except, you can't take cover).
You run around in the dungeon, place traps and choose which weapon and spell you are going to choose for the wave.
At the end of each wave, you are presented with a high-score. Depending on how well you played, you will earn orc-skulls to level up your traps/magics/weapons.
The Warmage doesn't Level-up. This game is more based on tactics, than brute strength. Unlike Dungeon Defenders, which came out almost in the same time-frame.

The music in the game is medieval but with a crazy tone to it. I like it.
Sometimes when the Warmage kills an Orc, The Warmage makes a sarcastic/hilarious statement. I can't give away what he says. Like I said, it would just ruin the fun.
It is important that you do not mute the Warmages voice. Because the story presents itself on flashbacks and what the Warmage says during gameplay.

It's a Short-and-Sweet game with a special twist to the story and the gameplay.
Orcs Must die! gets an ''above-great'' 9/10. I highly recommend this game.

[Review in a nutshell]
This hilarious game, with green Warhammer 40k orcs, is a ''must have for anyone who loves Tactical-Tower-Defence games''.
