Orcs Must Die Unchained. Pretty good game overall, was trying to be a league of legends type of game with 3D TD, it didn't get a player base going, so they swapped it over to a solo game, the maps were fun as hell and picking through 10+ characters was fun, it was really dynamic and the endless mode was very fun to push. They ended all support, it's offline. Sucks. OMD 3 came out, it's not even a quarter the game. Theirs 4 different player characters, they are all humans. All enemies are orcs or other bad guy type of mobs, unchained had human enemies and a few other variations, there's no where near the number of maps and most maps play in a really predictable way. In Unchained there were maps you needed to build a kill box, sell it, move it, all to get one wave killed, at least on the first few waves, anyway. It almost scratches the itch, but not well. I'm honestly perplexed on why they didn't just include the characters and maps from unchained.
Anyway. It's a very ''there are dozens of us!'' Game. So. I don't expect much here.
I thought that game came out?
It was a must have online servers game and they stopped all support, so it's gone, canceled, over. Idk. That's the way I think of it at least.
For games and other media that gets "released". Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn't come out.
A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn't get said it was cancelled for example.
For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I've never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.
Cool.
