Orcs Must Die! Unchained Announces Closed Beta Date, Win an Alpha key on us
If you're looking to show little to no mercy to bands of Orcs then you probably share the same sentiments and life goals as Robot Entertainment, creators of Orcs Must Die! Unchained. The devs based out of Plano, Texas have been hard at work finding new ways to dispatch waves upon waves of the nameless brutes during the games closed Alpha which has been ongoing since at least April. Now the studio is ready to broaden OMD's testing pool and invite new waves of closed beta participants starting on June 27th.
Described as a "fast-paced Fortress Siege game", Orcs Must Die! Unchained plays closer to a PvP version of the original series and less like a moba. The transition from alpha to beta will bring a new map, 3 new heroes and a new deck editor that will allow players to select from an ever expanding roster of collectible cards which grant access to OMD's two main forms of customization; trap loadouts and minion wave types.
Players can already pay for Alpha access through the use of Founder's Packs starting at a baseline price of $19.99 and notably come with codes for both original games in the Orcs Must Die series which makes it one of the better Founder's Packs available if you don't already own the originals. Still, nothing beats free which is why we're giving out 10 Alpha codes for Orcs Must Die Unchained! These codes will get you into the game before it officially launches into closed beta.
To enter, leave a comment below explaining why you think Orcs Must Die. Make sure to use a real email when leaving your comment otherwise we won't be able to email you. Winners will be announced below on Friday June 20th after 3PM Pst.
EDIT: Congrats to the winners below! Be sure to check your emails.

The Orcs a brutish horde of creatures are usually unintelligent, but they gain great strength and intelligence from a sorceress that was a student of the Order. She chose to seek power for herself and used magic to seize control of the Orcs. And that is why the Orcs have to die now!

They are strong, big, armed with huge weapons, and they are Mercilless Beasts who try to destroy anything in their way and we need to t to protect this world and protect the people in this world so to beat them down and knock them back where they belong and to do this we need to Team up.

Orcs must die.

discovered the secrets of your army and made such
pestiferous reports of men very nobly held, can
serve the world for no honest use; therefore you
must die. Come, headsman, off with his head."
