Orcs Must Die! 3

Deathtrap

Tactical depth

Deathtrap blends tower defense with action RPG: you fight directly while placing traps to hold off monster hordes at gothic strongholds. It is set in the Van Helsing universe.

Monster Hunter

Co-op or multiplayer

The original game of the series: you hunt huge monsters in large areas, learn their attack patterns and craft better weapons and armor from their parts. The heavy, deliberate combat loop shines most when played online with friends.

You and up to three friends defend a castle against waves of enemies, frantically crafting ammo, loading cannons and firing. The fun comes from chaotic coordination and teamwork in tight quarters.
