Issues fixed[edit]

'Mic in use by game'[edit]

Orcs Must Die! 2 uses a native in-game voice chat system which disables the Steam voice chat and is also of lower quality than the Steam voice chat.[4]
Easy method[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>datastartup and create a file named user.cfg
  2. Write -voice
  3. Save your changes.

Notes

This disables the voice system.
Disable in-game voice chat[6]
  1. Extract data.zip!startupgame.cfg located in <path-to-game>
  2. Open the file in your text editor and navigate to the following lines:

    and comment out these lines by inputting a double forward slash infront of them like so:

  3. Save your changes and put the file back into the data.zip archive.

Notes

Once in-game you should notice an 'X' over the microphone icon under your character portrait, this means you are now able to use the Steam voice chat.

Extra configurations[edit]

You can customize some elements of Orcs Must Die! 2 by creating a user.cfg file and adding notes into it.
Create user.cfg[7]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>datastartup
  2. Create a text file called user.cfg.
  3. Edit user.cfg and add options from the list below to change your settings:
    NoAlienFX
    Use this option to turn off the AlienFX lighting effects on Alienware Computers. This may also help with game launch issues that some Alienware users are experiencing.
    –voice
    Be sure the minus sign is included or this command won't work. Use this to completely disable in-game voice chat. Disabling the in-game voice chat will allow players to use the Steam voice chat instead, should they choose to.
    HideCrosshair
    For players that want to play in 3D, this option will turn off the 2D reticule.
    SwapOnBind
    Instead of unbinding a key when you set it in the game menus to a key that's already in use, the game will swap with the key that was previously mapped.
    -sound
    Completely disables game sounds
    DoNotPostToLeaderboards
    Prevents your scores from posting to the leaderboards
    EnableBloodMapToggle
    This allows you to toggle the blood map (at any time) using “L” key in-game or a custom keybind
    ForceFPS=##
    This will force the game to use a desired number of frames per second. Replace ## with the desired number.
  4. Save your user.cfg file (again, ensure that you're not saving it as user.cfg.txt) and relaunch Orcs Must Die! 2

Orcs Must Die! 2 is a trap based action-tower defensevideo game that Robot Entertainment developed as the follow-up to the original Orcs Must Die!, with Microsoft Game Studios publishing the sequel for Microsoft Windows on July 30, 2012 in the United States. On April 2, 2012, Microsoft announced the development of Orcs Must Die! 2 at the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston (PAX East), with their emphasis on co-operative gameplay as the principal addition over the original.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

Like its predecessor, Orcs Must Die! 2 is a variation on a tower defense game. As either the War Mage or Sorceress in the campaign mode, the player must attempt to defend one or more Rifts (Up To 3) from an onslaught of orc armies that emerge from one or more doors in a given level. The orc armies arrive in waves, between which the player is given time to recover and place additional traps; except for Nightmare difficulty, roughly every three waves includes a longer respite that lets the player determine when to release the next wave.

To defeat the orcs, the player selects a number of traps, spells, and equipment from their Spellbook (up to ten in single player modes). Placing traps can be done at any time, but costs a certain amount of in-game currency to do so; this money is either given at the start of the level and as bonuses between level, for killing orcs, or as coins that can be picked up by the player. Traps can also be sold back but only during breaks between waves. Traps include those that are placed on ground, wall, or ceiling, which typically activate once and then require a short reset period before they are ready again; traps can also include Guardians, creatures that will act on their own like archers or knights, who can be injured and knocked down by the orcs until either the major respite between waves or by the player with special equipment. The player can also fight directly using weapons from their Spellbook, including magical abilities that consume mana. The player must watch their health; if they lose their health or fall off a level, they will respawn immediately but lose a number of Rift points. Players can heal by being near a Rift, collecting health or mana potions dropped by defeated orcs, or using special equipment.

Every orc that makes it through the player's traps to a Rift will cost a number of Rift points. If the Rift points drop to zero, the level is considered lost and the player will have to start again. Otherwise, if the player successfully completes the level, they are awarded a number of skulls; up to five skulls are earned based on the number of Rift points remaining and the how long it took to complete the level, and additional skulls can be gained based on score or collected from fallen orcs. The first five skulls can only be earned once on any level, while the bonus skulls are earned every time the level is played. Skulls are used to improve traps and equipment that will permanently remain with that player, allowing players to return to earlier levels with improved traps and equipment as to improve their score. Within the sequel, each trap and equipment can now be boosted up by three levels and include one or more optional improvements, such as causing additional status effects on affected orcs when activated, but only one of these improvements can be activate at any time for that trap or equipment. Players are also rewarded with a new trap or equipment the first time they complete a level.

The game includes a cooperative mode, where one player plays as the War Mage and the other as the Sorceress; within the campaign, the two characters gain traps and equipment in different order as rewards for completing levels; however, players can purchase new traps with skulls as well. In this mode, each player can be only 5 trap spells or equipment in addition to their main weapon. Within the game, players can interact with certain traps placed by the other player - such as triggering a ceiling rock fall - but otherwise cannot sell the other player's traps. Equipment can have benefits that apply to both players, such as an artifact that passively improves the speed of trap resets.

In addition to campaign mode, the game includes an 'Endless' mode for both single and cooperative mode, where the players must hold off forty waves of orcs from all the various types in the game. The game offers weekly challenges, typically restricting the players to one or two types of traps and equipment. Additional downloadable content provides new levels, traps, equipment and monster types. The players also gain the ability to buy new costumes for their characters.

Plot[edit]

The game takes place a few days after the events of Orcs Must Die!. The Sorceress is hiding from The Mob when mysteriously, a Rift opens next to her. She steps through, and finds herself in the Dwarven Mines, right in front of The War Mage, who now works at the mines. She enlists his help in fighting off the Orcs. The two discover that more and more rifts are opening in different locations. They decide to enter the rift and return to the Dead World.

It is revealed that the War Mage's master had not died; he was still alive, and had opened a small, weak rift to allow the Sorceress to escape and battle the Mob together. After the War Mage and the Sorceress begin to communicate with their master, he explains that he started to open the Rifts again because the world beyond the Rifts could not cope without the magic the Rifts provided.

After the two have defended the last Rift, the magic fully returned to the world. The War Mage's master disappeared and the War Mage states that he and the Sorceress will 'always be out there on the Fortress walls, guarding the Rifts and protecting the world, because they (the Orc Mob) will always be out there'.
