In the latest beta update of Orcs Must Die! Unchained, publisher Gameforge and developers Robot Entertainment are sending the sassy mage Zoey out into battle. Still very much wet behind the ears, the aspiring young mage does not always manage to carry out her casts in the way she intends. As a result, Zoey’s standard attack randomly sets a magical damage type – e.g. fire or ice damage – at the start of each battle. Using her ‘Chaos Blast’, the mage first fires a magical projectile and then randomly selects a new damage type. Each switch gives Zoey a buff that strengthens her attack temporarily: well-timed switches between types act as her trick up her sleeve! If all else fails, the young apprentice makes use of her spell book to club her way through the enemy lines.

 

 

On top of this, update 2.5 also simplifies player communication, whilst PvE fans can now also resist the endless waves on the ‘Cliffside Clash’ map. A full list of all changes can be viewed in the patch notes
