Fun action-strategy game goes free on Epic Games Store for a limited time ^↺

Epic Games continues its Holiday Giveaway with a fan-favorite action-strategy title, Orcs Must Die! 3. This chaotic orc-slaying adventure can now be claimed for free, but only for 24 hours. The game has already been given away earlier in 2024, as hinted by an earlier leak.

Orcs Must Die! 3 is developed by Robot Entertainment, and it is a unique tower defense game which combines strategic trap placement with fast-paced third-person action. As a hero defending rift portals from endless waves of orcs, players can deploy a wide variety of traps and wield powerful weapons to decimate their enemies. War Scenarios, a relatively unique aspect, introduces colossal battles with hundreds of orcs storming massive maps. Overall, the game looks quite fun to play.

The game has received a fair amount of praise for its engaging gameplay and co-op mode. On Metacritic, it holds a respectable score of 77/100, while Steam reviews specifically talk about its humor, creative mechanics, and strategic depth. Players can enjoy hours of fun, especially when tackling challenges with a friend.

System requirements for Orcs Must Die! 3 are quite accessible. For the best experience, you’ll need Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-9600K processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 graphics card. The game requires 12 GB of free storage, so make sure you’ve got space for the same.

This limited-time offer is available until December 30 at 11 AM ET. To claim the game, simply log in to your Epic Games Store account, head to the giveaway page, and add it to your library.
