Can I Run Orcs Must Die! 2?
Released in 2012, Orcs Must Die! 2 is an action adventure game built by Robot Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Critics scored it 83 on Metacritic. The game ships for Windows alone. With more than 12 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. There are 27 achievements to chase. Cloud saves are enabled. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing.
