@VeryMelon: thought so to, took me 3 years to get invited to the closed alpha, its quite good, kinda buggy, but that's the alpha for, to report all those pesky bugs, but, i am habing a blast building mazes
Besides, you know what's next in their to do list? A PvP mode! Yes, again they'll try PvP, because we obviosly want PvP in a game advertised as "Co-op".
Sadly, it's still crap. OMD is NOT a F2P game, Unchained is all about griding and getting the good traps. Strategy? Playing smart? Not required. In fact, they don't impact the game at all, as soon as you advance to the second tier of difficulty, either you MTs or GTFO.
@ Frost: I've played it since beginning alpha, it's a PvE now. Basically, all the fans hated the moba-type hard enough that they went back almost to scratch and made it 'OMD 2: now F2P/crappier graphics'. Only real moba-elements are different characters, and a loot/crafting system.
If you liked Orcs must be purged 2 but don't have anyone to coop with and you want to grind leveling up then Orcs must be removed expediently unchained is pretty good.
I've glanced at unchained a few times but never looked much into it. always saw bad reviews and I had other stuff to play.
Still, I'd totally go back to OMD2 if I could find co-op partners. I never finished the DLC.
OMD1 was good but I never bothered to finish it until OMD2 came out. I looove OMD2 but honestly the co-op is the BEST way to play it. I love how you can farm more skulls in endless modes and stuff and constantly reset skills if you made a bad choice unlike the first game.
