OMD Unchained should come back.

[KutarFOX]

not to dimiss the new title, and I look forward to getting my hands on it one day, but I really wish OMDU return. just remaster and make it singleplayer + p2p online connections so you don't need to worry about cost of running dedicated servers... from business standpoint there is no reason not to sell OMDU again? ultimately OMD is not multiplayer only series and dividing playerbase among different OMD games shouldn't be the issue. OMDU repacked into singleplayer and p2p coop experience would be a great addition to the franchise and completionist side of me wants it to return so badly... imaging playing all omd games and getting all achievements for big satisfaction!

Unpopular opinion:
OMDU feels floaty and cheap somehow, even compared with OMD 1/2. Movement is weird, traps don't feel impactful. Only thing it has going for it is that it runs great.
Yes it's due to it's age in a way, but also everything just feels wrong to me.

OMDD needs work, sure, and it's a bit of a mystery why they didn't just go early access because it's clearly not finished or balanced / thought out properly, but I super don't get why OMDU is apparently so beloved

Seems like the MOBA thing not working out and then trying to use that framework for OMD shenanigans wasn't such a great idea.

But like I said, just my opinion.

After OMDU I'll never trust/support this company again.

Unchained was a proper 4 player multiplayer team / coop experience, I joined a game every evening and it never got boring or samey, it was very addictive and most importantly top notch fun and gaming excitement. They should have at least tried a subscription model, I would have happily opted in providing it wasn't unreasonable but no robot entertainment being robot entertainment just gave up and closed it down. This company seems plagued with making continual bad business/design decisions.

Does anyone have a small guide on how to get the peer to peer working with the Project Rechained mod? Their discord doesn't seem to exists anymore. Cheers

OMD2 was peak, but I really enjoyed OMDU, lots of build variety, lots of maps.

Franchise has been pretty sharply downhill from there. 3 was really limp and obnoxious compared to 2/U.

Keeping on eye on 4 but probably skipping it due to how the maps are, and that there looks to be too many tangential design goals going on with it.

If you have a TD itch, I'd recommend No Creeps Were Harmed. Dumb name, but dev has seriously over delivered on it, and brought some cool ideas to the genre.

For real, the core gameplay in OMDD is great, but there's a loooot of rough edges to iron out. The map/pathing/placement bugs are infrequent, but REAL bad when they happen. Except for docks, that's legit the worst map in the game by far and the only map where people's overall complaints about the game it are legit. It needs so much work to get it functional and balanced.

If you think Drydock is the worst map, you haven't played Colosseum yet. I assure you, that is the worst map in the game. It's so bad it should just be removed, tbh.

Drydock is fine, I've never had big problems there. One of the rift locations is better than the others, but they're all totally doable.

Try the Steam forums for Unchained; I don't know what link you used, but I just joined their Discord for the first time the other day.

OMDU was a pay to win mess that didn't add anything to the formula and had way too few maps.

Hard pass.

[lessster]

Orcs Must Die Unchained WITHOUT any pay-to-win elements is what I honestly wish for!

[Rager]

You think robot entertainment will give fans what they want or make a product that makes good business sense, if you haven't been paying attention they just released a dumpster fire... where die-hard fans like myself don't want to spend 1 minute playing it let alone spending money on it.

I don’t understand Coliseum lol. There is absolutely zero love put into that maps design. I skip it every time unless I have Double Wide barricades, and even then, it’s the exact same pathing over and over.

I can look past a lot of the community’s map criticism but this map is just so out of place and needs an overhaul.
