I'll tell you, having played tower defenses a lot over the years, such as Dungeon defenders and the original OMD, I'm extremely OCD about traps and planning. It really feels like those levels were meant for two players minimum with their size, layout, and ramp speed. The biggest hint was the last level not having a condense point, that I could tell, to funnel the three channels into one. It's too much to micro the totems manually while trying to adjust traps on the fly with three paths. The fact that you did so well is a testament to your skill.
I've been waiting to pick up 3, because I wanted to be sure I might enjoy it. Thanks for the video, and I hope you find someone to knock the DLC levels out with.
You'r not wrong, The last map is one from Unchained, where most of the maps were designed to be played at 3 players.
i think if he used more balistas to maybe get the totem placing cyclops dead it would've worked better
Eyyyyy!! I also played the shit out of DD and OMD. It's such a neat and addicting genre yet there's few quality games out there that make it fun and balanced.
Unexpected OMD3 content. I think yes!
The DLC also adds new random modifiers to scramble mode.
the totems seem to disable traps near them. Also if these are the same as the classics, cyclops are immune to arcane damage, so the nice brimstone does nothing to them. why we don't see the purple debuff on em. they probably kept it and didn't add a tooltip for it.
Oh ! The last map is one from Unchained !
Confusion flower is crazy good
I think the main issue is the totem.
Play endless with it... no longer fun.
The base game is 25% off on steam but not DLC.
The description for the Cyclopean Gaze is just horrid...is it a Google translate or something !? =P

I have mixed feelings about the dlc, even if it doesn't add much, it looks like lots of fun anyway and the heal on death from cyclops is an interesting challenge. I'm less convinced by maps themselves, not on a single player perspective at least. Totems I didn't know about and discovered in your video, I'm not against the concept, the execution howere...idk, it adds a lot of trap management for maps where you really have a lot more to do.
I didn’t even know they made a third one, what’s up with the marketing?

Anybody else notices we at 3 dlc and 1 (non war map) guardian?? Also Decoy is still garbage.
The DEVs don't care about our fun anymore. They just wanna bring out frustrating levels that are only solveable 1 way (which will keep you busy for the rest of your life, i guess) and not in single player mode. Even so you manage to get in the TOP 20 in one of the levels, which I did - you can't beat it the same way on Rift Lord. Especially not alone. Both DLCs are horrible. Anti-Funnel levels. Anti-Fun levels too. It's also more a shooter now. You do way more dmg with weapons. And now the hordes can DEACTIVATE the traps... well..
That's not true. I solo cleared the stages with the same strategies I used on War Mage, letting the traps do plenty of the heavy lifting. It's actually way better than OMD2's DLC where you had such few counters against the trap sappers, while OMD3 has a lot of traps that can do stuff from a distance and the levels being designed to make use of them. The totems are much fairer too as you can just immediately remove them as soon as they're planted and seem to have a lesser range too.
The same goes for the other DLC where the game encourages you to kill enemies using physics traps or chip damage because of the damage cap on the lizards. It's a fair way to shake things up without making it ultra difficult, it just requires the player to adapt.
