Fire and Water Booster Pack DLC - Orcs Must Die! 2 - PC Game Review
I just got the Fire and Water Booster Pack for Orcs Must Die! 2. I am not sure if I should be annoyed at getting hit for more and more DLC - a few weeks after the game was released - or pleased at the extra content available. Right now, I'm tending toward the later.
Fire and Water includes 3 new levels, 3 additional Endless Mode conversions, 3 new traps (Dart Spitter, Web Spinner, Floor Portal) and 2 new enemies.
The Dart Spitter looks interesting when it works (spinning and sending darts everywhere). One cool upgrade it has is that it can charm enemies sometimes. Still haven't seen it happen, though.
The Floor Portal should be useful (although probably bad for regular levels, since you will probably lose skulls for going over par time).
The levels seem OK, but nothing special.
The fire enemies are fairly generic, except for the Fireling that they let out when they die (2 or 4). These chase you and explode, setting you on fire. They can each take a full blast of the ice amulet, and given that they take a while to explode after getting near you, it might be more effective to just run past them to kill them.
The water creatures are the most interesting. When you kill them, they leave a puddle behind. Other water creatures can absorb them to become much more powerful. It is somewhat unfair - you just kill a few waterlings with fireballs, the water still stays there, another waterling reaches them, and suddenly you get a huge Water Lord.
Overall, looks good for the price - US$4.99.
